Newport area is on fire!!

So you fish that area? Narragansett Bay?

Same thing in Westport,awesome fishing! Only difference is it has been that way for 6 to 8 weeks. Mostly small stuff,nothing to get too excited about guys. I think your honey hole is safe given the fact half the boats are out of the water and there is a small craft advisory out front. Come Monday people can decide whether they want to take a day and chase a 5 day old report,burn a vacation day and freeze. All to catch a little fish. Not like the guy said Breton Reef,Newport Harbor,the bridges, or even the beaches. Twisted panties have always been a sight issue that only gets exacerbated with the typical OVERreaction. News bulletin!!!tog fishing is great on the reef too;good luck finding a rock to anchor on.

not me, I stick to the wood river.

Like dangles said, with the weather, it is non-issue. i just have a different philosophy about spouting what & where I have been catching.

I think a website like this can still be great talking about tactics, gear, off season fish stories, contests, get togethers, etc...

additionally, I found your comment about "why this site is dying" as a underhanded insult to the site and it's frequent participants, which got me a little riled up...

Pretty much sums it up. Have travelled N and S of me today and squat. Really sucks from shore, but maybe it's just me

Everything is staying off the beach for the most part . Although some were close enough to reach this morning on a beach west of Montauk .

Went freediving this morning around the mouth of Narragansett Bay. Saw a lot of big blackfish, more than a few inside of 20 feet. Saw a big pile of schoolie bass with a few small keepers in the mix. I also saw my biggest bass of the season, a true cow, swimming solo over a rock ledge. Pretty awesome.
