Newport area is on fire!!
 

I have been out on the boat a few times the last few weeks and the fishing has been off the hook. Schools of blitzing stripers on the surface, birds everywhere. It has been fantastic. Also lots of good size (legal) sea bass as well. The best fishing I have ever had.

The bass are not that big ...schoolies mixed with 8-10 pounders but you know what that is ok. Threw them all back. No one out there just one other boat a charter of course he kept putting his boat between us and the fish. #^&#^&#^&#^&. However he left after a while and it was fish on. Go get em.

thanks for the intell... I guess

but don't expect to have them to yerself ever again

NICE POST.

Just wondering, since you have been here for 11 years, why would you put up post like that????

Not judging you, just wondering.

Maybe that's why this site is dying. Lets talk about anything except fishing. Let me guess 100 googans are going to jump on the #^&#^&#^&#^&ty boats and be all over these spots across the bay. They would never notice birds working or fishing pooling on the surface because they are that stupid. I did not name any specific spots though I could, they fish are def hanging out in certain areas. You have to give a little to get a little.

here, here! :cheers2:

i doubt you would be cheer'sing if you fished that area....:fury:

So you fish that area? Narragansett Bay?

Same thing in Westport,awesome fishing! Only difference is it has been that way for 6 to 8 weeks. Mostly small stuff,nothing to get too excited about guys. I think your honey hole is safe given the fact half the boats are out of the water and there is a small craft advisory out front. Come Monday people can decide whether they want to take a day and chase a 5 day old report,burn a vacation day and freeze. All to catch a little fish. Not like the guy said Breton Reef,Newport Harbor,the bridges, or even the beaches. Twisted panties have always been a sight issue that only gets exacerbated with the typical OVERreaction. News bulletin!!!tog fishing is great on the reef too;good luck finding a rock to anchor on.

he didnt say exactly where in newport.

ARHHHHHHHHH ALL [my} SPOTS ARE GONE >>>NOW :jump1:

Clammer your not allowed South of the Bridge. lol

Now that the ladies are no longer flocking the beaches clammer IS allowed under the bridge w/o violating the terms of his parole... or so I heard

I don't think saying there are fish busting in RI waters anywhere is a big sin spot burn. If someone doesn't even know that is happening now then they probably couldn't catch one in the their bathtub with a net!

Sounds to me like just an enthusiastic fisherman's post after having some fun.

Relax , be happy , go catch a fish! :)

When I go out fishing I even turn on a AIS tracking device and post on FB that I am out to let people know where I am. When I post go to marinetraffic.com and search BeeReel. It has actually paid off more than once of people letting me know where the fish actually are (right Daphne) plus letting people know where they aren't, usually my location! :rotf2:

I can only fish an area limited times and why shouldn't others know when a bite is happening?

not me, I stick to the wood river.

Like dangles said, with the weather, it is non-issue. i just have a different philosophy about spouting what & where I have been catching.

I think a website like this can still be great talking about tactics, gear, off season fish stories, contests, get togethers, etc...

additionally, I found your comment about "why this site is dying" as a underhanded insult to the site and it's frequent participants, which got me a little riled up...

:rumble::rumble::rumble::rumble::rumble:

Hey everyone, CALM Down. I didn't accuse Duke of anything. I just wondered why he put up the post. I know if my boat was it the water, I wouldn't say where I was getting fish. Maybe that's just "old school".

Your describing the fishing of the last 2 months. Those schoolies have been blitzing for 8 weeks. Bones moved out 3 weeks ago. Although the togging has been great. No reason to circle the wagons over 5 lb fish.

Paulie /u wouldn,t tell cuz you wouldn,t remember :love:

Not much has changed here.A regular posts a totally generic comment about fishing and someone gets all over him.

The Newport area water wise is a big place.Someone else here needs to calm down.

Mikey, probably true:)

Pretty much sums it up. Have travelled N and S of me today and squat. Really sucks from shore, but maybe it's just me;)

Everything is staying off the beach for the most part :smash:. Although some were close enough to reach this morning on a beach west of Montauk :tooth:.

Went freediving this morning around the mouth of Narragansett Bay. Saw a lot of big blackfish, more than a few inside of 20 feet. Saw a big pile of schoolie bass with a few small keepers in the mix. I also saw my biggest bass of the season, a true cow, swimming solo over a rock ledge. Pretty awesome.

Anyone fishing the area tonight deserved a good fish. CRANKIN' out of the SW.

You got that right

Blew up fast yesterday. One minute it was blowing 5 kts the next minute it was puffing up to 30 kts.

Yep, a friend and I were fishing from Pier 2 on the navy base for Tog and he almost got blown in the water a few times when the wind picked up and blew alot of sand and small gravel into our faces. He lost his footing and luckily ended up taking a hard "sit down" onto the cement edge of the pier and not in the water. all we caught were 2 tiny fish about 4 inches long.

We had a boat reserved from the base earlier in the day (before the wind picked up) and luckily we checked the weather report and decided against taking that lil 19 footer and 40 hp outboard into that gale. It could have been a bad day.

We had a couple of gusts over 50MPH up here in the NW hills.

I give Duke credit about the update. True, there may be more people than usual, but at this time of the year, maybe not.

At the end of the day, he was only trying to share some good intel.
Besides, it doesn't appear he is talking about "cows" anyway.

Go have some fun

I took my dog out and about yesterday and saw a boat achored up off the sakonnet in that gale yesterday. More of a man than me.

My .02, in no way was Duke41's post specific enough to be considered a spot burn. It was a vague general area that I think some people on here would appreciate just as a starting point or reference as to where they may find fish the next time they go out.

TX Duke ya put me right on them ><><><>:grins:

The only things splashing off Newport today were the 6 pro v-s I hit into the water off the 4th tee at NCC. :doh:
