Big bucktail jigs with a Fat Cow jig strip have been good in the last couple of evenings. July has started off better than June with an uptick in the surf fishing for me along the oceanfront.  There has been rough water due to all these fronts and I think that has caused resident fish to become a bit more active.  I'm still seeing no bait from s...

Many people will be on vacation in the next week and many will want to fish for stripers. If you are planning to fish from shore the outlook is fair to poor.  From a boat you have a better shot at catching but even that is way off compared to other years. Traditionally June has been a good month of shore fishing for stripers here in RI.  In the p...

Here's a slot coming ashore in the suds. The shore fishing lit up for me last  night in some rough water. I had yesterday circled on my calendar for the last week.  I knew great conditions were on the way. A big blow from the southwest was predicted with high surf conditions. A full moon high tide would occur just after dark. And there was a pos...
