I've seen some effort, but haven't heard of catches.

The bite in RI was great a couple of weeks ago, though. They are en route

Jack, maybe I'm crazy but the bite, as far as I know, has sucked in RI. Few schoolies in Wickford, West Wall and EG Bay but nothing to get hot and bothered about.
I have been from Warwick Cove to Omega Dam in Seekonk, to Potters Cove on Prudence and Bristol Harbor and, although we found pogies, we haven't found any decent bass yet.

Sorry to disagree

No boat, back in the suds.

Sorry for the confusion Paul. I meant the schoolie bite. I was down there for one evening, my buddy got a dozen or so in an hour and a half and I caught one (with around half a dozen dropped! Argh!). Qualified as a great bite for me after a long winter!! I have no idea what the action is like on fish of decent size.

Not a problem Jack. Just didn't want a bunch of guys driving down and finding nothing. I'm headed out now. I'll post a report later today.

When I can see the clouds of pollen blowing by like today, it is a good bet the season is ready to open. Pine trees are really unloading.... Plan is to uncover the boat this week. Rebuild tilt motor seals and new sending gauge in fuel tank.
