Nice job Mike. Narr Bay is dead so far. Small fish every other day.

I did find fish at the Canal late yesterday though.

No boat, back in the suds.

That's why I didn't call you yesterday. It was like "The Silent Spring". I marked 1/2 dozen fish in Warwick Cove and nothing from there on, and I roamed around for 2 hours.

starting off like last year. Cant say theres no bait. lots of small baitfish and the squid run seems decent. Maybe its just behind. Glad to see other guys getting some fish. Lets hope it keeps up.

The Merrimack is slowly coming to life, I got my first fish May 2... the fish are getting bigger each day., I've been getting most of them from the docks.... I've not put the boat on the slip... in case I wanted to chase cod to the south... I'll put her in her summer home this week...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Jimmy, any chance of you getting out of work a little early mid week? I'm hoping to head out around 5:30pm or so and would welcome your company.

Definitely has the feel of a repeat of last year. Hopefully that won't be the case. Marking some bunker or herring here and there and some occasional fish. Plenty for stripers to eat if more decide to show up. Squid, silversides, etc.

Friday had a few schools of fish moving around and fish were caught.

Other then that, I'm already fishing RI Sound instead.
