Wind North 10-15 Cold 43 Deg

 Tide low 8:00am

Fished with Dan and Phil today they are local high school kids and they love to fish. They came along last  year with there third friend Matt.  Family obligation kept Matt on the beach we did miss him  he brings a sense of humor with him and it is a pleasure to have him on board. The three boys are avid fishermen and they have good skills. Dan  started the day of and we  brought many nice fish to the boat today. Most fish were on top water plug and a few on the fly rod. The fishing was a little off due to the cold front. We saw no birds working today,  we did all the working and it  paid off. The weather has been cold for this time of the year and the fishing is a little off but there are plenty of fish around . You just  have to look for them. I will have the boys out again in a week or so. It is my pleasure to  take them out. They are very respectful and polite. Who can ask for more than that. Take a kid fishing.

 I will be out this week  Look for my report Until Then Tight Lines

Beautiful day

 Fished today with a good friend Mark Kralian, We have fished together for over ten years and  it has been a while since we  were in the same boat. I  convinced Mark to  join  me today with the report I received from another Capt . The fish  had entered the bay with a decent push of fish. on Monday. Things do change from day to day  so you always have to have a plan. I did  and I stuck with it we caught  fish  most of the day in  many different places. When we  hooked one fish most  of the time we would take 6- 10 before we had to look on. The fishing  was not  hot and heavy but it was steady. We took 40-50 Stripers on the fly today  no very big fish but Mark did lose what look like a  legal fish. Most were 18-22 inches with  big ones measuring 24-25 . It was great and  I think  we will have a great season. I  have dates open  still in May so  lets hook up. Until Then  Tight lines

Narragansett Bay

Let the games begin,  I put the boat in the water around 8:30 this morning with the Temp around 40 degrees.  The Mercury  turned over  immediately and with minutes I had a  line in the water.  My game plan was simple find fish I had heard of the small fish in the rivers .  The bay was holding bait there should be fish.  Within the first hour I was on structure  that  held a few fresh fish. They were in the 18 inch range with light tackle they  were a great start.

 I switched to the fly rod and took another half dozen  with the big fish measuring 23 inches. All fish  had lice on them  which means they were not your  hold over  schoolies .  The big  fish will be here soon with the amount of bait around it should be a great spring. I will be out  again over the weekend look for my report. Until Then Tight Lines
