i have some experience fishing buzz bay. its not like our bay or even the area just outside that you are used to. The best fishing areas seem to be around the islands, especially the holes. I have been in some of the most nail biting situation coming through those holes when wind v. tide. Nasty ugly 6-8ft sh-t. And the bay in general gets pretty riled up just about every afternoon. It does usually settle at sundown, it seems.
Personally I moved my boat to galilee area and have been fishing outside from PJ to WH to BI and have been having a great summer. Nothing huge, but plenty of bass to 25 lbs and I have plenty of eating fish (fluke & black sea bass) to last the week to boot. And that is daytime (5AM- Noon) only fishing. I am dreaming about the days when my kids will be old enough that I can start going out at night again...
but i know that is even crazier drive for you than wickford...
I can't comment on boat fishing the canal.
