I just returned from fishing with a friend of mine in RI. The fishing was fantastic. We hit the south side of Block Is. fishing parachutes and really got into some nice fish. We boated 19 stripers.......with the first two over 40 lbs.....43 and 41.5 respectively. We also boated over 20 blues. These were the best blues I've seen in a long time. Six of them went over 15 lbs! We sure don't see many blues in maine like this anymore. This was my first trip fishing in RI, and I must say that I was very impressed. Is this the norm down there????

I'll post some picks when I get them from my friend.
