My family and I are moving to Rhode Island this year. I got heavily into bass fishing three years ago when I moved to VA. 

 

I grew up in CT, and spent many year striped bass fishing in RI, and I plan to do plenty of of it. However, I cannot give up my beloved bass fishing habit. Just putting a feeler out to see what kind of bass fishing I might be getting into. 

Guys catch 7’s and 8’s on occasion but I a good fish is probably 4-5 on average. A lot of pickerel are in a lot of the ponds and lakes. In general it’s pretty good fishing 

What part of the state are you moving to? I can toss you some recommendations for lakes/ponds.

I’ll be living in Exeter and working in Newport. 

I hear it’s great kayak bass fishing. A friend I occasional travel to tournaments with during the winter runs the NEBassin trail for Rhode Island. John Decenzo , he’s a great guy, if you look him or NEBassin  up, I’m sure they’ll be happy to help you out !
