[quote name='Hotdogfishing' post='14657' date='Apr 30 2009, 01:10 AM']I was at Goat Island last night "heard" of squid being caught, but did not see any. Can anyone tell me when the season usually begins? Also, I caught a half dozen herring on a Xmas tree rig (shrimp imitation). Are the herring common here? any ideas on how long the herring are around for? I am not from the area so this is mostly a guessing game for me. Trying to catch some bait from shore until the boat hits the water in a couple of weeks. Any help would be really appreciated.[/quote]
Hi Hotdog,
You will see herring and mackeral at times down in Newport. FYI, it's illegal to take herring in RI and MA. If you're a natvie American Indian, they allow you to take some but must show proof.
