If you can spend the money, either buy some felt soled wading boots or some cheap sneakers, replacement felt soles and Shoo-Goo. People get knocked off and drown frequently, rubber soled anything is literally the worst thing you can wear.
I will be in Newport for the day next thursday. What size gear can I bring to get me into the fish? (ie trout, salmon, or sturgeon size)
South Jetty sounds like the best and safest bet, do you need to cast far enough that I need my 12' surf pole? Is there a bait shop guru I should seek out or just grab some soft jigs? If so, what size and what color? If bait is the trick, what is the rig?
Thanks, I will give props with pics if I am successfull.

Attach #2 pretied baitholder hooks to the dropper loops and use a weight ranging from 1/2 oz to 2 oz. You can find these rigs already tied ranging in size from 10# to 30# which makes setting up a little more convenient.
Sand shrimp are like crack cocaine to greenling and perch, but are kind of hard to bait up in such a way that they stay on the hook for any amount of time. I like tying them down to the hook with about 12" of magic stretchy string. GULP! makes soft plastic imitation bait but I still haven't caught anything using them.
