Jason is a rock star. This guy can find fish to catch when no one else has caught a thing for miles…read morearound!! He'll have you on fish at the first stop and if he doesn't he'll promptly move to a different spot where he will put you on fish. Rarely will you return with less than the daily limit and he will fillet and bag your catch on the ride home. Always professional. Always willing to make the extra effort to make for a great day.

Great Captain with customer-oriented service and extensive knowledge on fishing (local and…read moreinternational) I have been fishing with Jason for a number of years and consistently go back to him for winter flounder in the spring and early summer up in Quincy and then follow him in August to Westport, MA for stripers, fluke, sea bass and tautog. Jason is very customer-oriented in his service. (Hopefully you like his sense of humor! ) As an example, Jay will occasionally decide to do some "exploratory trips" early in the season and invite some regulars. Once the season starts up, he may also decide to do some early am striper fishing before the regular 6 am. trip. Again he'll invite regulars occasionally to join him for free! When I wanted to go fishing this year down in NC, Jason put me in touch with a fishing buddy of his who had moved down there from Long Island, NY. I had a great time which couldn't have happened without Jay's help. So, here's a captain who's the best flounder captain in the area (his boat has had the largest flounder caught in MA for something like 9 of the past 10 years) who not only has a very fair charter rate but also offers open boat trips. Jay offers Tuesday and Thursday open boat trips in Quincy so that customers who can't afford to charter a boat can reserve a spot and just pay for themselves. You'll find that Jason has quite a number of regulars, some of whom book every Thursday trip in the best months. Thursday open boat trips are available after moving to Westport in August. In 2013, I was with Jason when he caught the largest tautog for MA: 14 3/4 lbs, length = 30 inches & Girth = 21 as measured at the Westport Marina. (picture attached) Check out the article in On The Water magazine by Ron Powers who was also on the boat with us. Jason is very understated in his manner but if you Google his name and On The Water magazine you'll get to read about the number of 50# stripers he's caught as well as his extensive experience in the fishing industry. As you start the last hour or so of fishing, Jason will start the filleting. Wait 'til you see this poetry in motion. Jason was a professional fish cutter so you will see something unusual when he breaks out his cutting board and knives. The only caveat I have is that Jason is very fishing oriented so his boat is set up the same way, no creature comforts. Women, be warned, no head on board. But, as the trips are 5 hours this usually doesn't present any problems. You can bring your own equipment or just bring your drinks and such and use Jason's set ups. So, if your new to the area or just eager to be fishing with an excellent fisherman and guide, do yourself a favor and book a trip!

Was looking for a particular kayak, and Kayak Centre had the boat. I purchased it over the phone,…read moreand was told to call 24 hours before I wanted to pick it up because it was "still in storage, not yet unwrapped by the store", and they would need to retrieve it. When I found the same boat much closer to me I called them to cancel my order and they charged me a "restocking fee" for a boat that had not yet been brought into the shop, or unwrapped. The fee I had to pay, over $260, is the charge when someone buys a boat, takes it home, and then returns it. I can understand a small penalty for "making" them write up a sales slip, but this was excessive.

I'm an avid fisherman in southern Rhode Island. it has come to my attention that many of your…read morecustomers are the jet ski crowd that has invaded Rhode Island waters. Though it's a free ocean and an enjoyable fishery perhaps it would serve the fishery as a whole if you educate your customers regarding ediquette while fishing around other folks chasing false albacore and bonito. Please do not: 1. cut off other anglers who are slowly preparing an approach on a school of fish. 2. Please don't race over and jump on schools of fish, it only spooks them and they sound. 3. If another angler is hooked up please don't motor close to the boat hooked up where as they may cut off the hooked fish. Everyone wants to have a good time on the water but it's becoming not a good time. As a part of the community I would hope you would please pass on some sage advice to this new breed of angler. It would be much appreciated.

Anyone can go there and join a free learn-to-row day which happens four or more times per year, and, the indoor rowing has free classes for newbies almost every week. Where else can you have the incredible freedom of being human powered on the water with lots of experience and coaching help to get you comfortable in a boat. They start out in a training barge and then progress to wide stable sculling boats called Zephyrs. The longer you are rowing the more you will progress until you are in a racing shell that is barely as wide as your bottom and moves like a waterbug on steroids.

A Wonderful Experience at Yawgoo!…read more We had such an amazing time at Yawgoo with our 4‑year‑old daughter's ski lessons. From the moment we arrived, every single staff member was beyond incredible--patient, cheerful, and so great with the kids. They made her feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn, which is everything you could hope for as a parent. The lessons themselves were fantastic, and you could truly see how much the instructors cared about creating a positive experience. Our daughter left smiling from ear to ear and already asking when she can go back! After lessons, we headed over to The Max and had an absolute ball. The chicken tenders were delicious, and the Shirley Temples hit the spot--total treat for all of us. It was the perfect way to wrap up a fun winter day. We can't say enough good things about Yawgoo. Wonderful people, great atmosphere, and amazing memories for our family. We'll definitely be back!

We had already made the drive down to Exeter so we were committed at this point. For ski rentals and for 3 people to ski- it was nearly $500!!!! We definitely got our moneys worth tho. The food was not very good, and the skis were not great. For what we paid we could have spent the day on Killington mountain. However, I was glad that we went because my son did learn to ski here and he was a naturally good skier, so good he went down their black diamonds, I started skiing in my 20s and I also learned here however I'm still afraid to go down a black diamond, even a Yawgoo Valley black diamond!

The Trestle Trail, a section of the Washington Secondary Trail, is a wooded section of 'bike path'…read morethat connects the western end of the Coventry Greenway to the Moosup Valley Trail in CT. It follows an abandoned rail corridor and is part of the East Coast Greenway project which will ultimately link 25 urban cities between Maine and Florida. Well, that sounds like a challenge. We were able to visit on a beautiful autumn afternoon. There were lots of people out enjoying the day. Dog walkers (remember to bring your doggie poop bag to pick up after them please!) bike riders, folks on rollerblades, families, couples. This seems to be a popular outing location. There is a parking spot at 210 Flat River Road, and another, closer to CT, at 51 Hill Farm Road. The trail is paved, with the usual policy of walk on the left, ride on the right meaning you can see the bikes approaching you and get off the road for them to pass if there is no room to go around you. There is also a horse trail running along the sides in this section. From the lot on Hill Farm Road, following the path toward CT, you pass a large pond with small waterfall (which you can hear, but not see as it flows away from the path), then becomes wooded along both sides for quite a while. It does cross over or under a couple of roadways and a few houses but for the most part is a nice walk in the woods. Heading back toward Coventry/Warwick from this same parking lot, the path leads through more populated areas passing behind businesses and homes, although still wooded on one or both sides for a fair amount of time, passing by a camp ground and another lake. There are a couple more places to park along the Washington Secondary Trail path that are closer to town, including near the Coventry Library and behind the Paine House museum on Station Street. This link makes a nice way to commute on your bike within town and a lovely outing for family or place to get in your steps.
