I have been out of the fishing game for a long time and have recently decided to jump back into it.  Last time I fished I was about 12 years old and its been a good 17 years......  I recently visited Omega Pond in the East Providence area have had some good luck but with minimal spots to fish from the shore.  I was wondering if there were any suggestions in RI (Pawtucket, Lincoln, East Providence, Smithfield area) that has decent shore fishing spots for two people and have a decent stock of Large Mouth Bass. Our choice of bait are usually Senkos with minimum use of crankbaits and jigs.  Again I am kind of a beginner here so any help would be appreciated.

Twenty years ago I used to fish all over the place.I always had good luck on Johnstons pond,Silver Springs,and I rented a canoe and fished Wordens pond and had a blast. I caught a 5lber out of silver springs on a 4'' Berkley power worm(motor oil) in the middle of the summer. Also did well with a black and blue jig in the colder months. PM me for more details.

I'm in EP myself. I frequent Burr's Pond in Seekonk. I just pulled my first LMB out of there from the bank. Brickyard is a nice spot as well. Haven't had luck with LMB there but I know they're around. Olney Pond in Lincoln Woods is supposed to hold some big bass but I haven't found them there yet either.

PM me if you want to talk local spots. I'm in the same boat as you, fished a lot when younger and just getting a bit more serious about it now.

Just wanted to add that Burrs pond fishing hasn't been so hot. I'm sure it will improve with the temperature cooling down this week. However I am hesitant to go at all. For the past three days when I have shown up to fish there has been a creepy fellow parked by the bank in a mini van. He just sits there with his door open starting straight ahead. The weird vibe is getting to be a bit much for me. Lol

Thanks a lot, I will have to check out those spots.  I have caught some fish in Slater park off the bike path and in Lincoln at Scott's pond but all small LMB.  What are you using for lures/bait?

I was having luck with crank baits but have switched to a black and blue jig with Rage Claw trailer. Jigging was a mystery at first but I caught a nice 6lb. LMB at Burrs followed by two 3-4 pounders on the same day! I ventured over to the bikepath/pond just north of Slater Park last week. Looks like a bass sweet spot! But access was limited from the bank.

In just over a week I will be headed to Stump Pond as well. It's a bit more of a drive but is supposed to be good fishing. I will let you know how that goes.

I was just taking a look at Burr's Pond on Google Maps, where do you gain access to this pond?  It looks like there are houses that are blocking access to it.  Just wondering because I might give it a shot sometime this week.

The entrance to Burr's is South East of the pond. It's a well hidden road that looks like it could be another driveway right off of 114A. Next to the small parking lot is the main bank where I have made all of my recent catches. There is also a trail on the East side of the pond that leads to a small bridge. I've heard bass can be found in that area as well but have only had luck with Bluegill and Crappie at that spot. 

I am going to look into using the jigging lures that you mentioned.  Where do you buy them? Are they two separate pieces?  Sorry I really am just a beginner......

Sent ya a PM. The jig itself is one piece. The trailer (craw shaped) is a plastic bait you put on the jigs hook.

This is why you need to go to Burr's pond and jig! 6lbs maybe... not sure but she felt like a beast to reel in.
