First quick fishing as a Rho Dyslander
'Twas nuttin much but I got out last night for a couple hours for my first fishing as a Rho Dysland resident. I was hoping for a memorable welcome to Rhody from the fishing gods by allowing me a chance to dance with a 50 but I would be happy with a single fish to welcome me to the Ocean State. I can't consider last weekends 22-24#er of Watch Hill as my first redient fish as I had no furniture in the house and my wife was still in Mass... I went to sling some black slimies at monster bass in Narragansett Bay.
Beautiful night. Nice temps, a little wind and a little surf but overall it was pretty calm at this spot.
First cast, hit and run but I didn't get a good hookset and the fish -no monster- was off. I'm thinking to myself - I'm gonna get whacked by the hit-on-the-first-cast blues and end up with nothing for the night as we were only fishing for a couple hours either way.
Jumped around to a couple different rocks with nothing happening for an hour plus and then went back to the spot of the first cast. Had a couple bumps and one more run where I landed one small bass, maybe barely a keeper before heading home...
mission accomplished (barely)
