Newport RI
 

The Bass fishing is really starting to pick up.Have been doing really well in the morn and eve.All schoolies so far but the big boys won't be far behind!
Sachuest pt. and the Drive have been consistent producers.

Newport
 

Buzz-erd,

Do you mind if I ask you when they appeared day) in Newport area ?

Thanks,

Beachwalker,
They showed up a little more than a week ago.
And yes I imagine the Jamestown area should be producing.

schoolies
 

Buzz-erd,

Thanks. I live out on nantucket, we get 'em much later. Schoolies are here but just about to show numbers. Water is warming quick and, you are right, big ones not far behind. I'll be keeping up with you folks for when the first sizables appear.
Hopefully they won't be covered with oil this year.

Thanka again

would u believe i've caught 6 bass in the teens lb. the largest 18lb. and all in the bay???? i've also dropped alot of fish within the last four days. believe it or not i might of lost a 20+lb. fish already. yeah, the big boys aren't in yet. the 30+.maybe 40. good luck.

I got my first fish in the Bay tonite.Not bad....4 at about 22-24".
Actually in Mt.Hope Bay off Common Fence Pt. in Portsmouth.
The Crippled Herrings and Kastmasters realy seem to work well for me.
Startin' to get the shakes.I can feel a big'un soon.

Were you in a boat or off shore I went to southshore in littlecompton and nothing there i guess i was in the wrong place.

If you want to get together sometime and go fishing let me know
always looking for a fishing partner

Surf,
I do most of my fishing from shore.Actually South shore shouldn't be bad.I don't know if the oil spill is affecting anything there,oil was spotted.I've been concentrating in the Newport area and the fishing has really picked up.Any day now and it should be in full swing.


P.S.If you using artificials try Crippled Herrings or Kastmasters.I use'em almost exclusively and do very well with them throughout
the year.Otherwise stick a real herring on a hook!

I WAS AT SOUTHSHORE LAST NIGHT PLUGGING NOTHING THERE JUST ANOTHER FISHERMEN USING HERRING AND HE DID NOT DO TO GOOD EATHER NO OIL THERE AT THIS TIME AND HOPE IT STAYES AWAY FROM THAT AREA ITS A GOOD FISHING SPOT AND THATS WERE I GO 99.9% OF THE TIME

here they come
 

been fishing jamestown with live herring. schoolies..... but a fish is a fish.... there will be some big swirls out there soon.
