your options are many.

for fluke: books could be written on the subject. for starters, head out of the pond, through the west gap, and just start heading west until you see the fleet, usually somewhere in 40-70 ft of water off greenhill, charlestown or westerly. use squid strips. i'm sure if you do a search here for "fluke rigs" you will find load of info.

for bass/blues. focus around the walls of the harbor refuge (just outside of the pond)to start. then you may want to make a run to block island if you are really into it. live eels at night or at least dawn and dusk will be your best bet, or a lot of guys will chum & chunk around the walls with good success. if you do go to block, do a search and you will find a lot more specific good info.

bonito/albies: you may find these fast guys around the walls too. use deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&, or other flashy quick retrieve lure and have fun!

salt pond: there may be some fluke inside the pond, it will never hurt to try your luck. there is also good clamming, a couple of neat islands to explore for the kids, and great areas for general on the water fun. but the fishing is mostly outside of the pond this time of the year.

Another thought is that you may want to take a half day fluke charter on one of the Frances boats the first day you are there. they are great for kids, and you will pick up the basics about fluke fishing, including the general area of where to go. they won't break the bank either.

hope this helps.
