Quite the Day at Block

Well things happen fast a furious at Block every now and again. Today was that time. I picked my crew up at 5 a.m at Block. We were on the grounds by 5:15. By 6:00 am, the crew had kept a 34 lb, a 33 and a 39 lb fish and then a 29 lb fish. They safely released the others.
Big Blues made their way in shortly as well as some of the Dog Fish. Just a great way to start the morning... A double hook up with lines in for less than a minute!!

Father / Son Fluking

Took a break from the Block to get a father and son trip for some flatfish and while there were many shorts, there was enough action and larger ones to get food for their BBQ dinner! Fish were so close to shore and just an overall great morning fishing. Fish are just a bonus after seeing 3 generations of men fishing together! A striper on the way home just topped it off!

What a week and it is only Wednesday!!

Here is the "need to know"
Block Island is ridiculous right now. Multiple fish in the 20 and 30 lb range and a 48.6 lb fish last night!
If you want to get the kids out, Turn around to local areas and keeper Sea Bass are scattered in the typical spots. Hit the structure and make multiple passes as they are spreading out. One 17 inch Sea Bass even had a 5 inch lobster in its stomach! Get in while the getting is great!

The Block


Oh WOW! Block Island was just loaded with mid 30 pound fish last night! When was that last time you thought you would ever say "Oh, its looks like JUST another 35 lb fish?". Consistent on each drift and it looks like it is not letting up any time soon. Strategy is a must and any variation will leave you empty handed. Night trips are limited so you must call well in advance to take advantage of this opportunity.

Shifting Gears

Well the upper bay near Bristol has had one it's best seasons ever. We produced many stripers in the mid 18-22 pound range (see picture) over and over and well within 5 minutes of the boat ramp! The bait was plentiful and the bass staged in similar spots time and time again which made for action packed days!
As the water temps increased, the bass have seemed to move south so we are focusing our efforts from Newport to Block Island.  The Block has been producing many quality fish from 30 lbs up to the mid 50's. This run has been going on for a week now so who knows how long the cows will stick around. Most likely it will run well into the summer months which is great for early morning charters. No blinding sun and beautiful sunrises! If you have ever considered fishing Block Island, now is the time to get in on the action.
