Worst year for size or quality for me and few buddies in RI.

Lots of blanked nights, some nights covering 4-6 spots thru the tide with 2 guys throwing mixed offerings including live eels.

Every few 20lb class fish around

Tried my tried and true spots and explored a lot of new areas hoping to find productive water with little success

So many small fish everywhere which I guess is a great sign of things to come, I mean watching schools of 10-14” fish, by the 100s tear up small bait.

Bonito and albie fishing was the best I’ve ever experienced including new pbs in both species, pink albie snax were the bait to have, Shimano nasci 5000 ($99) held up thru everything (2nd season as my schoolie and albie reel)

Caught albies from the beach in the bay, way up, seen em out in front of Providence hurricane barrier for like 3 days, just crazy that went that far up.

So I’d say the striper season was 5 out of 10 in RI, albie was a 10/10
