[quote name='Snaildarter' post='11826' date='May 22 2008, 07:15 AM']Hi Uptech2000 I've never done this before so I hope it works. I went to the Google satellite map and zoomed in on Galilee/Pt. Judith. I am copying the link in this message.
If you are trailering a boat to Pt. Judith you want to launch at the Galilee ramp. Get directions to Pt. Judith, get on Rte. 108 and follow signs to the Block Island Ferry. There is a turn off Rte. 108 that is marked Galilee/Block Island Ferry. Take it and follow this long straight road (about a mile) It ends and you go right and take an immediate right into the boat ramp parking lot. There are two good ramps. I like the one on the right as you face the water. it is steeper.
The boat launch is right next to Great Island Road which you have to go under with the boat. The map in the link below will take you to the entrance to the inlet. When you get through the inlet you will see a huge area of water that is protected by a circle of breakwaters. There is a gap to the East that lets you through and a Gap to the West. You want the gap to the West to get to Carpenters (On the map, the Block Island Ferry takes the Gap to the West to go to Block Island).
Once through the gap, head Southwest until you hit 40 feet of water to the South and you will see a big rock wall on the shore to the west. The rock wall marks carpenters. You can go further West until you are in front of an isolated area with 5 or 6 cottage/houses on it and drift towards the East (depending on the tide) or start at the wall and drift West to the cottages.
If the drift is North/South, then fish anywhere between the wall and the cottages at whatever depth you prefer. Here is the link and best of luck. Snaildarter

Snaildarter,
Thanks for all the info about the boat launch and parking and stuff. I don't have a dept finder, could you tell me about how far after the going through the west gap to Carpenters rock wall and the Cottage/Houses area? Thanks...
