Striped Bass
Providence, Rhode Island, might not be the first place that comes to mind for striped bass fishing, but the Seekonk and Providence Rivers, flowing into Narragansett Bay, offer surprisingly good opportunities. The season heats up in the spring as the water warms and baitfish move into the bay, continuing strong through the summer and into the fall. Focus your efforts on areas where the rivers meet the bay, as well as around structure like bridges and docks. A local tip is to use topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening for exciting strikes. Also, be aware of the local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change from year to year. The striped bass in Narragansett Bay tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lures and baits to see what's working best on any given day.
