The beginning of the year isn’t a good time to go fishing in the bay. It will probably be freezing on the water, and you won’t be allowed to target most of the species. Better to wait for warmer weather!

The waters are still not too friendly for fishermen, which is why locals don’t usually go fishing in Narragansett Bay in February. Maybe, if the day is unusually warm, there might be some Cod action.

It’s slowly getting warmer in Rhode Island, but the waters can still get quite choppy, and the wind chills are strong. Flounder season is officially open, and you can find good numbers of Cod out there.

Tautog season opens this month, the weather is improving every day, and that means a lot of fishing fights in your near future. Bottom fishing is very productive in April, and the Bass bite is also good.

May marks the beginning of the high fishing season on Narragansett Bay. You’re welcome to hit the water and target just about anything you fancy, including Stripers, Tautog, Bluefish, Cod, and more.

With summer right around the corner, you better believe that fishing is excellent on the bay. Catch Bass around rocks and ledges, or go after aggressive Bluefish, Black Seabass, and Fluke. The Tautog season is closed until August.

The middle of the summer is probably the best time to fish Narragansett Bay! Bluefishing is at its peak, as well as Bass fishing. Everything else, from Bonito, Cod, and Fluke to Black Seabass is out there for the taking.

It’s hot and muggy in the bay, but there’s nothing like some first-class fishing action to freshen you up. Bluefish, Bonito, Little Tunny, and Stripers are biting left and right, with other bottom dwellers following close behind.

The summer is slowly ending, the air is crisp, and fishing is fantastic. Bass can sometimes be elusive, but the hunt is worth the effort because there are some giants out there. Bluefishing is top-notch in September as well.

The cold front from the Atlantic is cooling down the temperatures and the water, so there’s a shift on the fishing front. Tautog, Cod, and Black Seabass take center stage, with plenty of Bluefish and Stripers still out there.

Most of the migratory fish aren’t very fond of cold waters, so they’ll be leaving the bay or simply becoming more apathetic. Thankfully, Black Bass and Tautog are still very hungry, and they’ll show you good times on the waves.

With the holiday season fast approaching, you’ll find fewer fish in the bay. It’s getting very cold outside, so going fishing in Narragansett Bay this time of year might not be the best decision. If you just have to scratch that itch, dress warmly and target Tautog and Cod.
