If you don't mind the drive (yeah, I know, that's scary to most of us RI'ers) there's bass around the Breachways and some still in Newport as of last nite.
And yeah, it can be real spotty but that damn Fat Lady hasn't started YET.
"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.
