I've fished at the mouth of the Narragansett Bay for many Columbus Day weekends in October but am interested in fishing there during the Spring Bass run. Can anyone give me an idea what dates to expect
the bass to run in the Spring? Am talking about Brenton Point or Butterball rock in Newport. Any tips on bait or plugs would also be great.Thanks

Eddie - good work you do.

If this year was an indication, you had to have plugs or eels at night and pray you intercepted some of the very nice and very large bass turning the corners of the bay chasing Menhaden. Definitely a right spot / right time thing. I know, I was usually at the right spot at the wrong time...

Welcome to S-B

Thanks for the welcome and the info.
The job can be tough and rewarding, both.

Thanks for the info. I will try to join a couple of discussions. Am looking for a couple of good days in the Spring and Fall in your neck of the woods.

My name is Bill. Was told about this site by s friend at work (who lurks more than anything). Sweetwater fished my whole life 37 years. Until I started my new job working with the Developmentally Disabled population. Which is where I met the above mentioned friend. So still an inexperienced newbie. Must say though this passion we call surfcasting is very addicting and a lot of fun. Hope to fish with you all soon.

My name is John, 55 10/12 yrs old, work for the MDOT and PT at DSG. I have two girls on their own and a boy in his 3rd yr of college. Also a 5 yr grandson who loves to fish. Oh yea, a very beautiful wife.
I live in Maine but came here from away (Bklyn-SI-NJ). I've been Striper fishing for 42yrs but my PB is still only 20#.
Just getting back into the surf thing. Plans this winter include reconning new spots, rigging slugs Mckenna style, building some needles and coming up with a game plan for this season.
This is a great site and there is something new to learn from it everyday.

GO GIANTS!!!!!!!! 27-24
