Has been horrible; For me at least... I haven't caught a single fish. Last fish I caught was Apr 30th. I got 3 schoolies that day and its the only fish of the season. This month I tried all over, from Gansett, NK, EG, Warwick, Providence, and the Canal. Last week saw some giant bass blowing clear out of the water like shamu but they wouldn't take any offerings. A lot of fish missing and tailslapping my plugs. I think I fished at least 15times now without catching a fish.. I have been throwing needlefish a lot more this year. A few times around sunset, and they have been the only thing I've thrown besides swimmers after dark. Still haven't caught one on these friggin sticks with hooks. The guys at the baitshop tell me they're doing good with em... I don't know.
My hunting/ new fishing buddy has only caught 2 along side me this year. Its been a very humbling season for him thus far also. Gas is killing me.. Moved up to Johnston/N. Prov line. Maybe this belongs in the grumpy section..
I've been mostly plugging with wood, & plastics.. some tins, bucktails, and chunk bait (twice).. in that order of the most used. Good spots that have always produced quality fish in the past. I keep hearing there's blues around and bass being caught I cant seem to catch #^&#^. I just want one for dinner. I read reports of fish everywhere then I hear from fishing guides its been slim pickings and a lot of work.
Just wondering what your take on this month has been.
Yesterday, I lost a brand new cotton cordell pencil popper, 5mins after that I lost a brand new blue/white gibbs popper, 5 mins later I broke my grandfather's 40yr old fiberglass rod, I usually do good this time of year. Feels like I am wasting time and money. #^&#^&#^&#^& cursed.
