Charlestown Breachway- Night fishing
Message:
Hi Everyone,
I’m going to be going on a family beach trip the week of Aug 19th through 23rd to Rhode Island, pretty close to the Charlestown Breachway. I would like to try a couple nights fishing from the beach or breachway for striped bass (or even blues, not picky). I’ve heard that I should be fishing live eels from the jetty during ebb tide and letting the current take the eel out, then slowly retrieving. Other than that, I’ve never fished from any beach, and have no idea what I’m doing lol. Other than eels from the breachway, can I just chuck some bunker chunks from the beach itself and plop down in a lawnchair? I’m a little worried about fishing from the breachway itself because taking a spill at night into the breachway itself seems like a legitimate risk, and I really don’t want to fall in that water (it hauls ass during ebb tide).
If anyone here is familiar with night surf fishing, some simple ideas would be appreciated!!

Yes you can do chunks from the beach. I always liked East Beach which is on the other side of the breachway. May I also suggest the short wall in Galilee behind George's Restaurant. Fish from and hour before to an hour after the tide change in the dark. Walk out to end of jetty and stand next to the orange triangle sign (channel marker). More productive than breachway.
Also bring light tackle and fish the pond side of the breachway where the campers park. Snappers should be all over and getting bigger and you can pick up schoolies too. You can fish here any time and wade in your bathing suit.
