I've spent all my fishing time around Casco Bay Maine, but we just sold the family cottage up there after 50 years and bought a place in Portsmouth RI. I can't wait to fish some waters with some actual...fish.

I've mostly groundfished, jigged for mackerel, or chunked for stripers/blues, without much luck in recent years. I understand there are quite a few other species in the bay that I'm not really familiar with (fluke, tautog, scup, black bass). I was hoping to get some general info about what fish are around the Upper/Mid bay (and when) and the best lures/baits to use.

I don't want all your secrets, just something to get me going. I'll be boat fishing from a 24' Grady. Any other boating tips (family day trip destinations, good marinas, etc) for Narragansett Bay would be really appreciated, too! I'm looking forward to a great season.

Thanks
