STRIPED BASS- With the exception of live baits, the night fishing has
been a lot better in most places. The Race has had a good night bite
this week with numbers but not much on sizes, Plum Gut has been slower on
bass. The Watch Hill Reefs have also had good numbers and small sizes
on most days with leadheads scoring better than surface lures.
There are still a few good sized bass in the River with very little
consistency to their behavior. The Causeway still had some good schoolie
action lately with bass taking leadheads and poppers.
Live bait fishing has been good at Long Sand Shoal and Hatchetts but
not every spot every day. Theres been enough bunker to net at the
Breakwater most dawns.
BLUEFISH- Diamond Jigs are producing at the Race, Plum Gut and Pigeon
Rip. Millstone is still pretty consistent with choppers. The River has
some on top along Great Island.
FLUKE- Its short. Its been pretty consistent that the short to keeper
ratio is anywhere from 10 or 20 to one. A few doormats have come from
Fishers and The RI South Shore, whats missing is the 2 to 4 pound fish.
It seems most of the fluke we are catching are under a year old.
PORGIES- They haven't taken a firm hold on the reefs yet. Theres some
being caught at Hatchetts and Bartletts and some of the smaller local
reefs. The sizes are good but the numbers aren't there yet.
BLACKFISH- We had some very good from Inner Southwest Reef, Black
Point and Cornfield Point.
HOURS- This week we'll be open Monday through Friday from 6am to 7pm.
Weekends from 4am to 6pm.
