What's Biting at Beavertail Point
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current RIDEM recreational fishing before keeping any fish.
Striped Bass (Atlantic)
Morone saxatilis
Season: Spring and fall migrations; summer in New England (check regs)
Baits: Live or chunk bunker (menhaden), Clams, Live eels
Stripers feed where moving water pushes bait against structure: inlet mouths, jetty tips, bridge shadows, rips and points. Fish the stronger part of the tide, and dawn, dusk and night, especially in summer. Chunks or clams on the bottom from the beach, eels or swimbaits at night along rocks. Circle hooks on bait; release fish carefully, most of the catch goes back.
Tautog (Blackfish)
Tautoga onitis
Season: Spring and fall, as water warms and cools (check regs)
Baits: Green crabs, Asian shore crabs, Fiddler crabs
Tog live in the rocks and eat crabs. Fish a crab on a short leader tight to the bottom against a jetty, wreck or rock pile, and expect to lose rigs. Slack and slow current make it far easier to keep a bait in the strike zone without snagging.
Bluefish
Pomatomus saltatrix
Season: Spring and fall runs along the beach; summer offshore
Baits: Cut menhaden, Metal spoons and jigs, Topwater plugs
When blues are blitzing bait in the surf you will see birds working and bait spraying; throw a metal or a popper into it. Wire or heavy mono leader, because they bite through everything else and through each other. Bleed and ice them immediately if you plan to eat them.
Scup (Porgy)
Stenotomus chrysops
Season: Late spring through fall (check regs)
Baits: Squid strips, Clams, Sandworms
Small hooks and small baits on a two-hook rig, on the bottom near rocks, piers and mussel beds. Schools move through with the tide; when one fish bites, others are near. A good fish for kids off a public pier.
Black Sea Bass
Centropristis striata
Season: Late spring through fall (check regs)
Baits: Squid, Clams, Small jigs
A structure fish: rocks, wrecks, reefs, jetties and pilings. Drop a high-low rig or a small jig straight down and keep it just off the bottom. Bigger fish sit deeper; inshore jetties and piers hold plenty of smaller ones.
