I live near Syracuse NY but visit RI on the 4th of July. I am looking to fish the "breechway" that goes between the salt water ponds and the ocean at the end of West Beach Road. Please excuse my lingo if it isn't correct, that's just what I've heard it called. My inlaws have a place on the ocean side so I could walk right down the beach to the rocks at the mouth and fish there. I'm wondering what's good to fish for there, nothing too huge but something that's good eating. My wife says she's seen people catch "big flat fish."
Obvoulsy I'd be looking for the closest bait store, what to use, etc. Thank you in advance for any help.
Ok, update, wife says they were Porgys she thinks she's seen people catch out there. I don't have to go for those but if they're good fishing that time of year then that will do.
Also, does it matter if the tide is going in or out when it comes to fishing a channel like that? Seems like it may dictate which end you would want to fish but what do I know, I've only fished fresh water.
