Hi,

i'm a Scotsman who will be in Newport for a few days early september and I'm looking for somewhere to casually spin for a while and just wanted to know a couple of things :
1) Wheres a good place to fish from ? The kind of fishing I'm talking about is usually done from piers or from rocks back home.
2) What can i look to catch ? Back home I'm usually after mackerel or sea trout when spinning or when fishing a piece of bait going for sea bass or pollock.
3) What would work in the local waters ? I normally fish 1-3 oz spinners of various different silver gold colors or fish a strip of bait on a paternoster.

Just somewhere to chuck a line in for a couple of hours would be great, also curious as to whats edible and whats not - I've read about high PCB levels in the area and want to know what to be careful of.

Thanks
Tony
