Tough Fishing, but still hitting them

To me, the bite has been less over the past few days.  Fish are not in the usual spots and need a bit more searching.  Unfortunately, there has also been a mess of boats due to the holiday weekend.  Fish are in the mid teens to the twenty pound range.  There still have been some blitzed of school stripers on the surface which are always a blast for everyone.  Now only if the fog will go away!

Striped Bass on the Fly and light tackle in Rhode Island!

This week was unbelievable!  We had bass of both school and keeper size on the fly and on top water plugs.  We had both small and large bait spread out and in thick! Bass are switching gears on the bait size but are in competition with big blues.  Now is the time where you cant go wrong out there, if and when we get the weather windows!

Blackfishing is on Fire right now!

Blackfish (tautog) is just the ticket until the Stripers come in over the next week or two.  The fish are feeding hard and average from 5-9 pounds!  Not a bad way to come out of the winter blues.
