Local knowledge, please...

Thames River still has tons of leftovers, of course, also has ton of fellow anglers trying for them. Most shore waters are still too cool for anything, but one never knows. There is always that chance. Besides, just getting out is better than flickin the tube. You could visit the RI Sportsman show. Always plenty to see and feel there.

Guys - All very helpful. Think you're right though... nothing like getting the line wet... Looking forward to it!

Speaking of clubs, can anyone suggest a club in the NY area which encourages Bass (ale)?

Waters are cold enough to send anatomical appendages seeking internal refuge, but there are fish around. Some in the mid-30" range.
You just have to use your head, and put in a lot of shivering!
