Welcome, Smokebringer
- I'm on the other side of the Big Bridge.
Try slow trolling live eels (2-3 knots) with an egg sinker above the swivel around those places you've already mentioned
You can keep live eels in a drilled out 5 gallon bucket tied off to a cleat....oops, sorry - you're still looking for a mooring. That'll solve the bait problem, anyway, once you do get a slot somewhere.
Have you tried Goat Island in Newport?
You may have seen ' Boat fish don't count' around these parts - well, that's not entirely true.
Ya just have to suffer a 20% penalty on weight for cheating
Just kidding - good luck and welcome aboard.
