 I don't know about RI other than the Newport area, but squid are caught from the commercial docks in Stonington. Daylight squidding is possible at times, but in general night from well lit piers or docks is best. I prefer a light trout rod with 4 lb test line and smaller jigs like the Yamashita Naory in sizes 1.5 and 1.8 or Martineti Prawn in 1.5 or 2.0. I also don't know if it's too late although I doubt it. My buddies were still getting squid fairly easily on the Vinyard two days ago. They will be gone soon though so you ought to find where they're hitting them near you and go jig a bunch. If you find where others are squidding just do what they do and you'll get the jigging business down in short order. I'm sure there are probably some folks still fishing them in Newport/Goat Island and in Stonington. Look on the Newport 2014 thread for info there, and maybe ask the guys on the CT thread what they know. Good luck, but squid fishing is addictive and fun.
