Regardless of where you go.... it's only a night game this time of year

Welcome! Careful with the descriptions of where named placed are.

You'll get all the help in the world from folks here about how to and when to how to, but keep the where to under your hat.

Sorry, I didn't read your entire post. Here is a good thread to get you started on the safety aspects of surfcasting and gear needed. Click on the links in my post on 1/3/14 to get you to a winter safety discussion. Good luck out there!

That's definitely what it seems like now. Early mornings also.

For many years I was a member of the Narragansett Saltwater Fishing Club. Our club house is right at Deep Hole so it was a go to spot for all the guys all season. I probably fished the hole 1000 time.
You want to get out of the rock/rubble bar as far as you can to hit the Hole. This requires fishing it at low tide. If you fish on the beach at high tide you will be casting into 2 feet of water. On a moon low you can get out over 150 yards from shore. Use poppers or needlefish as swimmers will just roll in the surf. Cast across the waves toward the Point Jude Light way in the distance. The fish will hit between the waves. Oh yeah, wear Korkers as wading the bar is like walking on slimy bowling balls.

There! You now have all the secrets, (almost) to fishing The Hole.

AND DO NOT fish there by yourself until you know the place - and even that is debateable

great advice in the last 2 posts.

Once out on the bar, if you see whitewater and are past your knees...stop!
