Overview

The Fishing Deck at North Kingstown provides shore anglers with access to the Narragansett Bay system from North Kingstown. This part of Rhode Island’s coastline offers protected saltwater habitat where seasonal migrations and tidal movement can bring a variety of popular gamefish within casting range.

Striped bass and bluefish are prime seasonal targets, while scup and tautog can provide productive fishing around suitable bottom and structure. Conditions can change substantially with tide, wind, and water temperature.

Fishing Tips
