Hake
Hake refers to several species of slender, predatory fish found in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. These fish are popular targets for anglers seeking a consistent catch, often schooling in large numbers. In the Northwest Atlantic, white hake and red hake are common, inhabiting waters from the Gulf of Maine down to the Mid-Atlantic Bight. Hake's willingness to take a variety of baits and its accessibility make it a fun and reliable species to fish for.
Hake Fishing in Narragansett
Narragansett Bay and the surrounding waters off Rhode Island offer a solid hake fishery, particularly during the colder months. As water temperatures drop, hake move closer to shore in search of food. Look for them near structure like wrecks and rocky bottoms. Winter is prime time, though early spring can still produce.
Consider launching from Galilee, a major fishing port in South County, to access productive offshore grounds. Jigging with heavy metal jigs or using baited hooks with squid or clams are effective techniques. Be prepared for deep water fishing, often in excess of 100 feet. The hake in this area are known to be aggressive feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations. Check local regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out.
