I am heading out to the Block this weekend for my annual trip to open up my girlfriend's house. Has anyone fishing the island yet? I was wondering if there were any bait around?

Thanks

I havent added much lately but, I will add this.There is no need to ask! If there are fish on the mainland,Then there are fish on The best Island in the world! The gateway to the mainland is Via The pearly gates of block island!!

Bill,
I saw a report yesterday from Capt. Al Anderson out of PJ that he chartered out a group of guys to BI this past week and did very very well. The fish are there!

UMMMM,Told ya!

That is excellent news. I was wondering if there were sandeels around. The Block is by far my favorite place to fish.

Thanks,
Steve

Does your girlfriend have a sister??

You should do well out there this weekend, the stripers are definitely in.

Jamie - She does have a sister but she is married and she does enjoy going out to the Block very much.


Bill - Nice to see a post from you. When I first started fishing BI about 6 years ago you gave me some tips that really helped me find fish. I appreciate that and since then I have discovered many places that hold fish and I know which tide and wind direction to fish those places. Finding those places has been the most rewarding part of fishing there.

Ya, I pretty much lost the fishing bug,after acheving all I wanted to fishing and now having family and other responsibilities I just cant go the way I like to which is 100% or nothing but, when I saw a block island post I just could not pass it up! That has always been and will always be the best place on the planet to catch stripers bar-none! I feel bad for people who have not experianced a night casting from shore on that gem of an island.It is the holy mecca of bass fishing!!

Good luck out there!
