Canal Rat,

I guess it's a lot easier to fish with somebody who knows how.

Like fishing the Ditch - you could write whole book on the subject but ya get a lot more out of hanging out with other guys on the rocks.

There are many flavors of rocks by the way.

Most of RI is really "mountain climbing" instead of rock-hopping.

When I think of rock-hopping, places like Squibnocket (MV), Block Island and Montauk Point come to mind...

Some equipment choices ...

1) Korkers a must
2) Inflatable PFD recommended
3) Beefy stick that can double as a walking stick!
4) Water proof or water resistant reel.

My rockpile setup is an Allstar 1208 spinner with a VS 250 reel (you could do just as well with a Penn 704Zz).
