Charter Trip Needed for a Buddy

That date is a wild card in Narragansett Bay.

There will be bass but it's tough to say what size class will have arrived by that point since everything happens so quickly. Every day makes a difference during those first few weeks.

We've caught bass to 30 pounds in the last week of April before in the Bay, but that was just one year. Most years fish over 20 pounds seem to start arriving in numbers you could actually charter for somewhere in the 2nd week of May.

While we do book a few charters prior to mid-May (in the time around May 9th), we're upfront about the realities of that time frame. Could be good fishing, or just chasing schoolies up to the mid-teens. Or if they're a few days late it could be slow.

Ditto the above comments on the timing - Rhody would be the best bet, or maybe some smaller boats down in Ct, closer to New York.

Call "Q" at Rivers End in Old Saybrook. He does some 2 person charters on his 21 footer, alot of light tackle, he would probably be catching some up on the CT River.
