FrightNight,
Well I would say if its an absolute "gotta catch", that time of year I would take the Canuck up to Barrington Beach with plenty of wire leaders for flies or plugs in hand at first light or sunset for some hardcore bluefishing. If fishing the lower bay is your thing then get out on Ocean Dr again at sunrise or sunset and fish the rocks. August to me anyway is our fall run in Newport. I know its not easy to swallow but if you look at the action we get both in the boat and along the rocks in August and then look at September now and its like hello what happened. September/October used to be amazing here in Newport and along the Sakonnet River Basin back in the late 80's early 90's. I can remember growing up and getting out there in mid to late September and seeing miles of birds and breaking fish for days on end. Nowhere near the amount of boats that you see now but you could start at Fogland Beach and work south to the point and catch 100's of bass anywhere from 15" to 15lbs, tons of bluefish and the occasional albie or two all in that stretch of 4 miles right against the rocky shoreline. Now it seems like the fall run just doesn't happen here like years past or maybe the food just comes in too early. Thats my take on it. Any more questions feel free to ask. I know you guys will catch while he's here.
