Fishing Narragansett

Watch Hill to Narragansett: rocky points, sandy beaches and the breachways (inlets) to the salt ponds.

What's biting now (Fall): Striped bass blitzes along the beaches and breachways; tautog season on the rocks.

Commonly caught in this area: Striped bass, bluefish, scup, black sea bass, tautog and fluke.

Also caught here: false albacore, scup, tautog, black sea bass.

Read the beach before you cast: look for darker troughs, rip currents and cuts in the sandbar where fish feed. Sand fleas and shrimp are reliable surf baits, and the first and last hours of daylight are usually best.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
