I've been doing pretty well actually as far as quantity goes.I've caught bass on all sides and ends of Aquidneck Island.Had a great night last night fishing a spot on the north end.
Biggest so far have been in that mid to high 20" range.Bigger any minute now!

Pretty good amounts of fish, both small and keeper size in my usual spring locations.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

It has died out for me. But that is nothing new.

Water up here is real cloudy and churned up. There have been some bass and mackeral chasing sea herring in the harbor during the evenings though. They have occasionally been reachable from shore near low.

Schoolies in the Annisquam some mackerel but scarce. Big fish over 38 inches should be here by the 21st, hoping it holds true.  |

Had an evening earlier in the week with acres of bass feeding on silversides (very small ones) right along the shore in a popular local spot. Fish were mixed size and super-focused on the feed and I only fooled one around 27" on a small metal-lip swimmer. The very next evening the feed was back but this time were being harrassed by a huge school of sea herring. Had never seen such large herring right on shore. Has some some fun jigging them up. JackK even fooled one with the fly-rod. Did foul-hook a schoolie with the diamond jig- a plump fish indeed. Each night since then has featured lotsa bird activity but mostly out-of-casting-range. All the action has been just before dark this week. Tried this morning but it was casting practice.
As mentioned, it should only get better by the day going forward.  |

Got my first of the year on Saturday, but it was slow and I think this horrible weather has something to do with things being a tad late, in two weeks, they wil be here!
