Fishing Point Judith

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.

Inlets funnel bait in and out with every tide, and predators wait at the edges. Fish the last part of the incoming and first part of the outgoing tide, and watch the current - inlets can be dangerous for small boats.

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
