Squeteague were pretty much absent from RI from the 1940's until the 70's. We're on the extreme northern edge of their range, and when the population is in an up cycle, we more or less get the spillover as long as conditions are favorable here. They've never been consistently plentiful here in my lifetime. They might be around for a few years, then they're gone again. I started surf fishing in the late '50's and I saw my first squeteague in 1974. They're a great gamefish, but I doubt we'll ever see them with any great regularity. There were fair numbers of them in Quonochontaug Pond in the late '90's, but I haven't heard of much since then.
