Giant Sea Bass
Point Judith, Rhode Island, is emerging as a notable location for targeting giant sea bass. These large, impressive fish are increasingly found around the rocky reefs and wrecks off the Rhode Island coast. The summer months, particularly July and August, offer the best opportunities, as the water warms and the sea bass become more active. Large jigs tipped with squid or cut bait are effective, as are live scup when available. Remember that fishing for giant sea bass in Rhode Island is strictly catch-and-release, so handle these fish with care. The Point Judith Pond offers convenient access to the fishing grounds, with several marinas and boat ramps available. When fishing the reefs, be prepared for strong currents and consider using a sea anchor to maintain your position. Check the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management's website for any specific regulations or updates regarding giant sea bass.
