Were you jigging? For some reason, during the summer bait outproduces jigs out there by about 10 to 1. I don't usually fish out there after the middle of Sept., that's when the doggies move in and make bait fishing impossible. You're right for sea bass you'd have to be nuts to run to Cox's from RI, they are all around Block Island right now. But in the end who really knows why fish do what they do? If I had to speculate, I'd say that the doggies are harassing them and the sea bass are beating them to the jigs.
Thanks. The guy I was with fished bait but to no avail. No dogfish, however. I jig but use small wide butterfly jigs. Did pretty well on decent sized cod with them relative to the boats around me the prior trip at the end of August. Think I'll retry closer in (i.e., SW shoal) in a week or so.
