Nice to hear, I was planning on heading down in the AM anyway, good to know there's still some fish around, my last time out for stripers ever, maybe.

Haha you guys kill me. Only skinny dinks on sand eels in the canal. The pogies (if there were any the last few days) zipped through with all the big bass on their tails and are still off of ... errr... on their way to Rhody.

See you in 6 @ November's first light... somewhere.

I fished yesterday on my way home, and thought I would just throw a couple casts, because I had only 30minutes in between meetings. Next thing I knew I had a monster on my line. As I pull this beautiful bluefish in it managed to snap my brand new tica rod. It was a monster I measured it at 38.5". Little did I know after filleting this fish that the state record was 39". I would have pulled a fall river special and stretched the lip. What a fight.

Anyways anyone saying there is no fish in Rhode Island must not be using a hook

. not trying to be a punk, but I am just letting you know there is awesome fishing in Rhody right now. It has been lights out for a few weeks now, and the water temp is holding strong at 54-55. so there is still a week or two left.

This is only picture I managed, but to put it in perspective the pencil popper in its mouth is 7" long.

A 38.5" blue is a true monster - Equal to a 50+" bass for bluefish standards.

You may have had a record since it goes by weight and not inches - 26lbs. Too bad you didn't get a better pic as well.

I think you're right cuz why else would he post a RI fish under the canal thread.

All of the fish are now off of RI and not in the canal or RI.

Time to get out to Montauk for first light. Damn the sunrise is early today.
