Fishing Report-Narragansett Bay

I have not seen many fishing reports from RI and I know the surf guys are not slamming them so I thought I post a report from the Bay for my boat.

There are still adult bunker in the upper bay and tons of big fish around. Fish Sat morning very early (3:00 AM). Had 6 fish between 18 and 24lbs. The only thing that stopped me was I ran out of eels. Real cold but no wind. Sunday was a blow out. Wind way to strong. Tried to get down the bay again at 3:00 but had to turn back as the wind came up hard NW about 4 AM. I heard of a couple of 20s taken way North in Providence yesterday....out of the wind.

No boat, back in the suds.

Thanks Paul. Surf was so-so last night in Gansett for me. Got 6 fish, mostly small, under 30", and some pirahnas too. Best two were 36" and 39",maybe 16-18#. Still some decent fish around, gonna give it hell for two or three more weeks at least.

Surf friday night

blew for me. 2 fish short. I'll be at it tonight again.

In general, I'm not so sure I understand why guys love the fall so much. For me it's always been hot or miss.

Jim:
they are coming. I have seen a steady progression down the Bay the last 10 days. Still quite a few miles away, however.

No boat, back in the suds.

Fri evening I had my two boys on some scoolies in the bay and could barely get the plug back in the water before I had to boat and unhook another fish. They told their mom they only had a "little bit of fun"....

THey probably didn't want her to feel bad about not going with them.
