New moon all-night skunk in South County

[fishaholic18]

At least now we know where not to go...

21 lber and 2 others in the 13 to 15 lb range early Sunday morning in Narragansett. 15lb this morning in Narragnsett. All on eels.

Eben -

I considered being more generic in my spot names, but since I got skunked, I didn't think my message was going to result in huge crowds.

Piemma - you are the man. Based on my observations, the whole Narragansett shore was completely devoid of life. I went to a seafood market to buy fish on the way home, and I was half-expecting to be told that they didn't want my business.

Sure was beautiful out there though.

My and others feelings is that simply mentioning names of spots has a negative impact. no hard feelings, i just dont want 10 guys standing on my favorite rock.

Maine was weird also.
Not a skunk by any means, but spotty in a place that usually on June moon tides is fish after fish. No Baitfish around either. However there were fish in all the summer spots already.
I think the combination of the cool weather and large rainfall amounts have made the conditions such that the baitfish do not yet need to come to the esturary mouths to feed and therefore the predators don't either. I think if you had access to satelite photos that showed the plumes of water coming off the major rivers they would look quite different than normal. All the stuff carried out by the rivers is what the filter feeders come to get when they show up in rivers or outside the mouth. This year they can still feed offshore, at least that's my guess.

last night i dropped an absolute slob in SoCo. this fish took line faster than anything i've ever hooked into before. last october i caught my personal best, a 30 pounder in current and this fish put the 30 to shame with no current. i'm guessing she was 40 +. saw her hit on the surface, do a little dance and then she ripped off about 75 yards of line in a matter of seconds and had me around a rock before i could do anything. i felt totally violated.

We fished Nantucket's and Vineyard Sound on Saturday too and we got a couple keepers, but real quiet too. Funny how it was dead all over...

Wasn't quiet for Piemma

Although I heard that he's really getting his fish from Arc Bait
