I was out this evening with my son Jon. We landed over
50 fish on jigs and flukes. Most went 10-16 inches with one
lone "biggie" going 24 inches. Small ones have been numerous;
keepers have been rare from shore in RI.
Tonight I landed a bunch of schoolies. The biggest fish went 24 inches, and that is the biggest fish that I have taken in the last month. I've caught hundreds of them in the last four weeks, and 24 inches has been the biggest from from the Ocean State. Welcome to RI shore fishing.
Small schoolies, mostly in the 10-18 inch range, continue to dominate the fishing. Keepers are rare. Everyone seems to be complaining about the lack of bigger fish from shore this summer. In addition, I have spoken to divers, netters and eel fishermen and everyone has the same thing to say. Keepers have been rare this summer along the RI shore. They are getting good size fish from the boats at Block Island. And, there have been some massive blitzes of big fish this summer just to the north at the Cape Cod Canal. So, good size fish do exist in New England, but they don't seem to be along our shores in any numbers.
Maybe things will improve in the fall, but I am not expecting it. Our falls in recent years have been dominated by schoolies, big bluefish and albies and I suspect that same trend will continue starting in mid September.
