Probably skate.
I have seen them 'finning' the surface on calm days in Newport...

Depending on where you saw it Joe it could possibly be blackfish (tautog), too exhibiting pre-spawn behavior -
They do roll on the surface and do a little love boogie before bumping uglies - there's a couple of spots where you can see them rolling early in the morning and it's usually this time of year depending on water temps - I've seen it firsthand and a friend of mine is the retired principle marine biologist for RI - and he's confirmed it too in his research
That's why they close the blackfish season for June - so they can honeymoon undisturbed...  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I don't want to disclose a spot, but PM me. Really/ Hmm, the spot has a lot of sands, seashells scattered, crustacean molten or discarded shells, and a few fish skeletons.
Speaking of bumping uglies, I saw a couple of raccoons having the most, passionate, aggressive, roughest, and intense mating session. 0_o??? It was in Tiverton. |

Could be, Joe - sand bars with cobbly rocks mixed in, mussels -
Can't detail any more than that - I'd tell ya but you'd have to be liquidated - it'd be like Kill Joe, Vol. 1...  |
