I fished Narragansett bay today and found a school of fresh fish entering the bay. These fish fish were on small bait and all around 10-15 lb. They were willing to eat the flies I presented to them, The fog was thick and there was little pressure for other boaters, The schools of bait were scattered enough to keep the fish spread out over a vast area.

These speedsters are a handful on light tackle. The Striper bite in the Newport area is slow but they are there if you know where to look. The bluefish have been all over but not in any one location.

It the middle of August and the fishing could bust open any day. There is small bait in all the estuaries they are moving out with every tide. look for my report s Until Then Tight Lines

My last outing's have taken me to the cooler waters of Block Island . Both the fly fisherman and the spin caster have scored on all charters. The deeper cooler waters around the coast of the island make for a perfect place for the big fish to hold. I have found fish on the many different contour lines in depths from 50-100 ft.

As the month of June comes to an end the weather is heating up. we have moved into the summer mode for the fishing tactics as well. We experienced the warmest spring in a very long time, that is a fact. The small bait is prolific in the open water of RI sound. From Newport t to Block Island there is bait every where. This is a little early for this, most years the Narragansett Bay is still holding large fish at this time. Things change we need to change with them or get left behind. The striper fishing in the Newport area is good and Block Island is also fishing well. The Fluke bite is awesome now with big fluke taken on every trip. Now is the time to book your next charter. Look for my reports Until then tight Lines.
The fishing season is under way and things change all the time there is big bait in Narragansett Bay along with a good push of silversides. the problem is the bait is scattered across the bay. Which means the fish are on the move, hear today gone tomorrow. Find the bait find the fish is the rule most of the time. But not this year the fish are on the move constantly. I have found few fish on Structure and most are in deep water. Deep sinking lines seem to work the best. good electronics are the key but slow cursing is required to find fish. This pattern could change and fish should move to structure looking for other food. I will be out again looking in all my favorite places. Until Then tight lInes. The season is under way with the presence of small bait fish added the mix. The Squid has started to arrive and the Herring have flooded into the rivers in good numbers. The Striper's already working the bait to the surface in the shallow water where the temps are more favorer able. The first keeper Stripers have been caught and released to fight again. Looks like a good start to the season. I will be out again soon Look for my report
