Anyone catching in SoCo RI
Not looking for spots, just general information if they are still around. Haven't been to any of the usual places in a while and pulled the boat a couple weeks ago and it is getting winterized and wanted to know if it was still worth getting a bucket of eels for this weekend and hitting the sand, rocks, etc... Just a general response of yes go or no conditions not worth the effort. Thanks in advance - James

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that you will see another wave of nice fish go through before it is said and done. I'm definitely giving it a shot this weekend.

See my thread from this morning titled tough morning. Redlite is correct. I have been finding one decent fish a week 20 to 25#. I have fished the last 14 out of 15 night/mornings. Usually on the beach or in the rocks by 2 and done by 5 or so. 3 good fish in 14 nights. Not great.
I have had a lot of small fish 20 to 30" but at this time of year, I am hunting for cows not rats.
Cold nights with the dampness start to wear on your body especially if you have to work all day. Sleep this winter.

Pt.Jude Tins are the shiznit
Caught a lot of fish in the mid-upper 20's sun, mon, tues nights. It was very flat last night and Didnt get a bump  . Just got back in from catching about 40 schoolies. It was sweet they were in about 3 ft of water. For a an hour and a half it was fish every cast , was schweet. Got them on Pt jude butter fish and the sandeel. They seemed to like the butterfish best. I would make it flutter across the top of the water, then slow my retrieve and let it swim for about 4 cranks. The fish would ussally hit after i let it drop and swim. Get eels. Gonna go out in a second, hoping the coming storm and wind makes the cows put there feed bags on  . |

I haven't fished in a week. I've gone soft. Could also blame it on what I do for a living---a cold day on the water doesn't really make me want to go back out, so I don't. But really? I've gone soft. Things slowed with the sox, and after I never regained the drive, which we all know is the key to stripers.

"Anyone catching in SC RI"
You've got to careful eating beans and wearing waders. If your not careful, they will fill with gas and flip you over and float you away. You have to vent them.

Well if the fish that are leaving my area now stay close to shore, goosefish you need to get out there and fish. A good school of 20 to 40 pounders left here over the weekend and I;m sure they will end up in "Gansett before long.
Good luck guys... don't give up until you HAVE TO! Frost bite only hurts until they amputate and sleep is way overrated that's what winter (CHOKE) is for. Take advantage while you still can every fish you catch now will take a day off your wait for spring.... think about it.
