Surfcasting in Lil Rhody

[Ampersand]

Hi - I'm new to this site and found it while googling...

My kid brother and sister-in-law are making a rare pilgrimmage to visit me in Rhode Island Oct 5-10th. He's an avid surfcaster. I want to make the trip memorable and encourage more visits, so I'm hunting for hot fishing spots.

He still lives where we grew up on the Jersey Shore and fishes Barnegat, IBSP in NJ and also visits Montauk and Hatteras. He's been to RI once before and liked Beavertail. Any other pointers?? I live in one of the Mills in Pawtucket, but have no trouble driving (or directing him to) anywhere in RI or SE Mass. Any help would be amazing and much appreciated.

Thanks! :)

Oh, and did you know Rose Island is for sale? www.roseislandlighthouse.org

Plenty of places in south county. From the Ct border east. A ton of spots.

Hi &
October 5th through 10th the stripers should be in the throws of the fall run and chasing bait fattening up for the winter.
In Frank Daignaults book 'Striper Hot spots', he lists 17 hot spots in
Rhode island. Most guys don't get more specific for fear of burning spots.
Heres the list that are public knowledge. Your brother should be able to read any of these spots.
Naptree Point, Watch Hill, Weekapaug Breechway, Quonochontaug Breachway, East Beach, Deep Hole, Harbor Refuge, Point Judith, Narragansett's Rocky shore, Narrow river Inlet, Conanicut Island, Barrington river, Warren River, Bristol Narrows, Brenton Point State Park, Fort Adams State Park.

Most important would be the presence of bait. Check with the local tackle shops and current reports as well. Have fun when your there and good luck.
