The Frances Fleet had cancel a few squid trips because the squidding was a bit slow and inconsistent.
If you're coming from NYC you have to crossover newport onto Portsmouth and over the bridge to Tiverton and south on rte 77 to Sakonnet Point. Good luck!

If you plan on squidding at Sakonnet Point, you may be in for a disappointment.
The last 2 years have not been productive. The town dock isn't all that large, and is usually loaded with people when the squid are in. I've been there 10 times this season, and everyone has taken less than 1/4 of a bucket. The few people I've talked to, have all been heading elsewhere. (They wouldn't tell me where.)
Next to the town dock is the yacht club and a commercial fishing operation. The owner of the yacht club, and the manager of the fishing boats do NOT enjoy people snooping around after dark. Both places are staffed all night, and they WILL have law enforcement remove you.
Speaking of law enforcement, if you have an out-of-state plate, bet on being pulled over. I speak from experience.
I'll be heading to Newport for the rest of this season.
Tight Lines!
