Hey guys, new to the message board and located on the Sakonnet River. I'll be honest, more a novice to saltwater fishing than freshwater but I'm working to get better as a saltwater fisherman. Not looking for secret spots or locations, really just want some friendly talk about fishing the Sakonnet River and/or Mount Hope Bay. I know the bay is getting between 72-74 degrees and Common Fence Pt and the Channel there hasn't been producing more than some Porgy. Thinking of going the opposite way and down the Sakonnet and seeing if I can locate some blues and stripers. From a technique standpoint, I have popper plugs, Hogy epoxy jigs, swim baits, and tube & worm. With the water getting warmer, is it better to go early morning? Late night? What's the best time with the tides? Rising tide? Lowering tide? I have the ability to reach places via boat and jetski and I know to try and find the birds for a blitz but recently it's been staring at my depth/fish finder trying to find bait balls. Any and all comments and help would be great. Thanks guys!

I am heading down to Cape Lookout from DC area on sunday for the first time. Rolling solo just me and my dog. I typically fish Assateague and Delmarva beaches and am new to fishing OBX. If there are any SOL members that are going to be on the island......I could use some pointers. I will be driving a greenish gray Sierra 1500 with DE Surf Fishing Tag on the front and MD Tags. Black rod rack on rear. Stop by and say hi. Will trade beer for fresh bait. Whats the main difference between north and south island fishing? Best place to get fresh cut bait other than Davis Ferry? Any tips on rig for bull reds? THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL INPUT
