Striper fishing for me in RI has been weak for the last several seasons. This year seemed very promising early on with a ton of small, fat healthy looking schoolies around, but like everyone else things seemed to be ridiculously slow more recently, to put it gently.
More positively though, the blue fish seemed to be getting bigger and bigger the last several seasons. Last fall the gator blues my partner and I were catching in the yaks were great. My luck with Albies has been exceptional in RI as well, both from shore and via kayak. After this past Memorial day cluster fok of an outing (4 days/3 micros), I'm not expecting things to change with the stripers until possibly the fall and even then I'm not getting too excited. Of all my fishing peeps, the most consistent and successful ones (in terms of pure numbers of high quality fish) have been those that work the canal almost exclusively. The bones and albies, that is what I see as the key draw for RI fishing these days.
