Mike: I'm on the West Coast (Tampa Bay) and have been able to catch a few spotted trout, drifting slowly over grass flats (about 4' of water) using live shrimp weighted with only split-shot under a float about 3'. I too would like any advice anyone would like to offer. Regards, Jim C.
I am also from the RI area and fish and mated on a six pack boat when I moved to Florida I thought I was a fairly good fisherman , was I in for a surprise it’s all different but it will come with time. I m not a inshore fisherman but my neighbors on the canal are they use a popping cork with live shrimp and use light jig head maybe 1/4 to 1/2 oz with gulp and they all drift the grass flats they do very well on trout and mackerel when there around. Hope this helps . Joe

If you sign up to return em right they will send you a descending unit with weight and also one that is pressure release type free of charge and they work great it’s the best way to release them alive venting works but ars are hard to release alive this works

Also use short leader 18 inch to 2 ft 50 lb fluorocarbon then swivel and a sinker slider aka fish finder so you can change sinker weights as needed to hold bottom

There’s no structure these fish lay in what we call cheese holes so you don’t see structure or even fish we drift fish it till we get multiple hook ups and mark the spot you’ll see the ars on your fishfinder but rarely the red grouper, fish the water depth more than the numbers were running down there from new port richey

I like bottom fishing and putting food on the table, although might try Tarpon fishing for fun. I bought a used 31 Contender to get offshore and am learning the waters. Problem is, there is a lot of bottom between port and 40-50 miles offshore.
We fish down your way last Thursday and did well on the red grouper in 103 ft to 118 ft of water on frozen threadfin and lots of lane and vermilion snapper on squid you have the right boat also when the ars season opens we had a half dozen big.ones we released in the same area

Any docks around? If you can't get on them because they are private toss towards them.
Not sure where on RI your trying your luck but if your near pt Judith go down to the docks where the dragger’s a taking out they flush a lot of junk fish over and it creates a chum slick for those stripers I would use a chunk of bunker and just throw it towards the boat and let it drift in the stuff there throwing over there’s some huge bass around those docks, free food for them , good luck
