hello chet and the rest. this is my first post and i look forward to participating in the discussions.
right now im in need of some short notice help with fishing down by the mystic and charlestown area.
i'm going camping at the burlingame state campground in R. I. and could use some tips/help with where to find some descent off shore fishing in this area. i'm headed down there this weekend for a week and could use any help i can get.
i've fished the mystic channel at the tow bridge and had some success and could use any tips where else to try in the area from the shoreline. thanks and glad to be a part of the new site. jim

Offshore or from shore?

Your title says from shore the post says off shore...

Dont know exactly the area you are fishing but if your fishing salt, there are a few sure signes of fish.

1. look for structure and calm glassy areas or any form of an ambush point
2. There wont be fish where there is no bait
3. Mangroves along the shore line are like teddy bears for fish.
4. When by a bridge cast next to pilings on the opposite side the current is running.
