Black Sea Bass
Black sea bass fishing around Prudence Island in Rhode Island can be very rewarding, especially during the warmer months. These structure-oriented fish congregate around rocky reefs, wrecks, and other underwater features. The waters of Narragansett Bay provide ample habitat for them. Use a fish finder to locate promising structure and drop down a baited rig. Squid, clams, and crabs are all effective baits. Three-way rigs or simple bottom rigs work well. Pay attention to the current, as it can affect your presentation. Drift fishing can be effective, but anchoring up-current of a promising spot allows you to thoroughly work the area. A local tip: The waters around the north end of Prudence Island are known for holding good numbers of black sea bass. Be aware of the depth, as black sea bass prefer deeper water. The population here has been carefully managed, resulting in a healthy and sustainable fishery.
