"The Rhode Island beaches from Watch Hill to Charlestown have schoolies just out of range feeding on small bait throughout the day with some occaisionally raiding into the surf. Its worth a shot if the seas don't build up too high."

There is no shortage of bluefish, he says. They are mixed in with schoolie bass along the beaches.

False albacore are still biting, too. " The action around Watch Hill and the inside of Fishers Island have been very good," he says. "Theres still a lot of bay anchovies and other small bait to hold them here. What this storm might do to the bait is questionable."
