Week ending 8/11

While things have slowed down in the upper parts of the bay, there has been some decent activity down  around Newport as well as Block Island.
Newport: you have your choice of early morning Stripers and Blues to some pretty decent Fluke fishing during the day. We had consistent action this week with all species.  The upper bay has really slowed down with the increased temperatures but there is still lots of bait.  This makes me believe that there could be a good bite going on either pre dawn or during the night when things cool down a bit.
If you are going to get some light tackle casting in, we did have some tough days, managing mostly school sized fish on metal like deadly dicks and sweedish pimples.  No topwater bites occurred while we were out, at least in the East and West Pass.

Reports from Block Island were solid this week. While none of my charters brought me there, I do have  other captains that fished it and did quite well. Bass ranged from 38-52 inches. Evening/night bite seemed to be best earlier this week.

This is the turnaround part of the year. Big bass move into Block Island, Albies and Bonito start to move up to the Islands and into Newport/Pt. Judith, Tuna start to regroup and hit the half beaks in Cape Cod.
If any of these species interest you, give me a call. I have a number of Single anglers that would like to trip share and split costs so don't let that deter you! Any questions, please give me a call.

Sincerely,
Capt. Brian
