Practice all winter while blindfolded doing a Rubik's cube using one hand while running in place and whistling the 1812 overture as you eat saltines in a cold shower. Will get you ready for what you are about to face.

I hear Block Island and Narragansett Bay each have much better fishing and are way less crowded.

First...Learn to fall on rocks and not break anything.
Second... Repeat ...all night long.
Third... get a cast or two off.

2-5 oz jigs, try different colors, 10ft or better heavy rod, reel that can hold 200yds of braid or mono. I would advise just watching the guys do it for a little while, then give it a try away from the crowd. Or you can do what the daytime crowd does.......wing a pencil out as far as you can and hope for the best. Cant knock it cuz its brought in some big fish in recent years. And dont let the canal ferret scare you, they do exist.

The canal ferret exists eating the monster black snakes.  Oh - I forgot, the devils are expert at stealing bait.  |

BTW--they're minks, not ferrets. They were imported to ride herd on the rats.  |
