First to say it...WTF with the Bay?

Haven't been out in a few days, but I'm going to burn some fuel and take the full tour with visits at all the honey holes tomorrow. I do know someone got into fish up to 38 inches yesterday, and lots of them until the action quieted down. They were munching squid, not bunker or herring. Parker23's nice fish a few days ago was also focused on squid.

I'm going to poke around the lower Bay a bit too, maybe some got hung up on the squid down around Npt.

Post cold front and rising pressure today probably didn't help, traditionally that hasn't led to great fishing in the spring for me. Even in the best springs that's sometimes made for tough fishing until you can find a school sitting deep on sonar and put something down on them.

I'd guess when the unsettled weather moves in this week we might see some more obvious feeding activity. But the fish are there. Parker23's is proof of that.

I'm glad the fish are feeding on something because i've fished around the pogies and only had midgets and fished around herring and had nothing not even midgets. Then tonight I tried an area that usually produces in the spring and find fish but didn't see any bait, but they were feeding good and there were some decent fish in the school.
As for sliversides I have been noticing a steady decline in their numbers in the past several years from Westport to the Sakonnet, maybe their demise is spreading westward into the Bay. From information I have gotten alot of the migratory fish haven't left the spawning grounds yet so any fish of any size have probably been here all along. Just my $.02 Ron

Nature runs on it's "own" schedual......

during one period the valley grows full of trees....

then one day lightning strikes and a big fire happens

and all the trees get burned up and bushes take over the valley

followed by trees again.... then one day.....lightening strikes..

and it repeats itself....

go with the flow brother... as your out walking say....(or sing)

i'm goin with the flow.... smile, whistle and play nick nack paddy wack on your belly....

It's been a long time since I did one of those. Raven has the right idea, just chill and let Mother Nature run her course.

I love the smell of Mary Jane in the morning, smells like... victory!

Sorry for the off-subject rant, I had a flashback...

This has been a weird season. Every year brings change in some way. Our collective fishing logs go back maybe 50 years. The fish have been following their calendar since like...the begining.

Maybe it's the Age of Aquarius!
