Also known as squeteague, gray seatrout, tiderunner (large).
A drum-family inshore predator named for its soft, easily-torn mouth. Larger 'tiderunners' are prized on light tackle, especially during a periodic spring run in Narragansett Bay. Populations are variable year to year.
Primarily spring (May–June), with a possible fall bite. A spring-run fishery in Narragansett Bay.
Estuaries and bays, salt-marsh creeks, channel edges and holes adjacent to flats, eelgrass and oyster reefs.
An estuary/bay fish more than open-ocean; Narragansett Bay is the region's most reliable spot. Rarely a Block Island target.

Augusto fishing notes are a starting point, not a guarantee — fish move with the water and the season. Nothing here is a substitute for current state regulations or local knowledge.
