You'd be surprised at the amount of bass off the coast of RI. Catching them is another story. Last thursday morning Charlestown Breachway was full of 30-40" stripers feeding on clouds of small bait. Every night since on the incoming its ridiculos how many fish are splashing in the channel eating these juvenile baitfish. In 2 nights of hard fishing we grabbed 4 and we tried EVERYTHING (eels,flyrod,plugs,jigs,etc). So I know the fish are around, there just in a finicky mode. Just keep pluggin away and they'll come around!
