Fistful Sportfishing - Mayhem on the Beach!
By

on 10/14/2023 8:56:00 PM • Views (39)
The beachfront was running hot today with lots of slot fish in a mid day blitz. I have been chasing stripers up and down beaches for the last three days. Today I set out on a long walk in search of them. I saw a few birds working in the distance about a quarter mile from where I was so I went down the shore to investigate. As I got to the spot w...
Fistful Sportfishing - A Bonanza in the Dark

It was a bonanza of slots tonight in the darkness. Overall it was a pretty dead day today in the daylight along the oceanfront. But there was some bait around and I have been making an effort in the last couple of weeks to fish later at night. So I decided that I would stick it out tonight well after dark. It paid off. As it got pitch dark I n...
Fistful Sportfishing - Find the Bait and You Will Find the Fish!

Here's a slot fish from yesterday coming to the kayak. It was caught in the Bay. Everybody was complaining about that persistent northeast wind in late September except us surf fishermen. When we had the northeast wind from mid to late September the striper fishing was lights out. It has cleared in the last week with some beautiful weather...
Fistful Sportfishing - Metal to the Rescue!

This Hopkins metal lure delivered yesterday in the wind and heavy surf. I was looking at a skunk yesterday. I was fishing great water and rough conditions and I just knew there were fish around but I was not getting them. I was fishing mostly with my bucktail jig. It was not working. I thought to myself maybe a longer cast in these rough condi...
Fistful Sportfishing - Best Week of the Year
By
Seamus
on 9/21/2023 7:58:00 PM • Views (49)
I've got my thumb in the jaw of another good size slot that fell for a bucktail jig with a pink Fat Cow jig strip. Fishing has been read hot in the last week for me. For me this has been the best week of the year for saltwater fishing. I fished hard the last 5 days in a row and caught staggering numbers of stripers of all sizes from schoolies up...
Fistful Sportfishing - Brute Strength
By
Seamus
on 9/18/2023 8:39:00 PM • Views (64)
Today's biggie was a brute of a fish- big head big girth and strong as an ox. I landed a brute of a fish today. It was one of those old fashioned fish we used to catch 30 and 40 years ago. It was at least 40 inches long with a big head and a wide girth. And it possessed some brute strength. The fish took a two ounce homemade bucktail jig wit...
Fistful Sportfishing - Storm Fizzles; Fishing Sizzles
By
Seamus
on 9/16/2023 9:10:00 PM • Views (53)
This slot fish one of many today took a large bucktail jig with a Fat Cow jig strip. It was the storm that wasn't. Today's surf was supposed to be dangerously high and super rough. It wasn't. In fact by evening the ocean was flat as a pancake with a gentle northwesterly breeze. The water was clean with no sand in it along the places I fished to...
Fistful Sportfishing - Huge Dangerous Waves Pound the Coast
By
Seamus
on 9/14/2023 7:45:00 PM • Views (32)
If you are even thinking about fishing anywhere along the oceanfront in the next few days forget it. I went down today to try and get in one more day of fishing and it was impossible. I saw huge hurricane driven waves in the 8 to 15 foot range coming right over the East Center and West Walls around the Harbor of Refuge in Narragansett. Keep in m...
Fistful Sportfishing - Blitz of the Week!

It's been a big week of fishing here in RI with everything from stripers to albies. Today's blitz of stripers was one of the biggest I have seen in a long time. The stripers were after massive schools of bay anchovies.

Fistful Sportfishing - Fishing Turns as Hot as the Weather.....Bass Blues ALBIES
By
Seamus
on 9/6/2023 2:47:00 PM • Views (81)
I'm about to grab a schoolie that was caught from the kayak this morning. The fishing all over RI was hot as the weather today! The RI saltwater scene just took a dramatic turn for the better. Along the oceanfront a lot of that bait that was off the shore has moved in possibly driven in by albies as the albie fishing has taken a big turn for t...
Fistful Sportfishing - Back to the Bay of Plenty
By
Seamus
on 9/5/2023 3:49:00 PM • Views (54)
This is one of many stripers and blues that I landed today in the Bay from the kayak. They were chasing down schools of peanut bunker. Last evening/night I hit the oceanfront in a place where the tide and conditions were just right. The only thing missing was bait. I made a lot of casts and came away with one striper a schoolie along with a k...
Fistful Sportfishing - Labor Day Weekend Outlook

I landed this gator blue from the kayak this morning. Fishing in the Bay from boat or kayak has been more consistent than the oceanfront for stripers and blues. A lot will depend on if the water along the oceanfront clears up or not. Those big hurricane waves that battered the coastline for the last several days have roiled up the water with sa...

Fistful Sportfishing - Back to the Kayak.....Found the Bait Found the Fish

Kayak fishing has been hot in the last few days with good numbers of slots and decent bluefish. It's been real hot fishing the last couple of days for me from the kayak. I found big numbers of peanut bunker and sure enough big numbers of hungry stripers and blues were after them. It was chaos at times as fish were breaking all around me on and of...
Fistful Sportfishing - Rough Conditions Deliver Big Numbers of Stripers

This slot fish as well as most of my fish in the last two days fell for a 2 oz. bucktail jig with a pink Fat Cow jig strip attached. The drought is over for me. It's been a great two days/nights of striper fishing here in RI. I fished multiple spots and found fish in all of them. I caught in the daylight and after dark. The common thread in...
Fistful Sportfishing - Blues More Plentiful than Stripers Right Now; No Albies
By
Seamus
on 8/24/2023 3:55:00 PM • Views (47)
I landed this blue yesterday evening from shore on a Cocahoe. They outnumber the stripers right now. The striper fishing from shore continues to be poor along the oceanfront in RI. In fact the bluefish fishing is a bit better as they outnumber the stripers right now. I think we got spoiled over the last two years that produced some of the bes...
Fistful Sportfishing - Burning A Lot of Gas for a Few Fish
By

on 8/17/2023 7:12:00 PM • Views (61)
Here is one of four stripers I landed today on the float and fly a great choice when the bait is small and the bass are fussy. In this case the fly was a homemade pink Deceiver. I've been out fishing four days/evenings in a row. I've fished loads of places in RI along the oceanfront and elsewhere. So I have a pretty good handle on what's goi...
Fistful Sportfishing - August Shore Fishing Fizzles Out; Lack of Stripers Some Blues
By
Seamus
on 8/11/2023 4:15:00 PM • Views (39)
We are back into slow fishing for stripers from shore. There are some big bluefish around but you will need to make a lot of casts to catch one! This one took a bucktail jig spiced with a Fat Cow jig strip. A week ago I would have told you we were on our way to fall-like fishing along the RI oceanfront. But as soon as it appeared it ended. I...
Fistful Sportfishing - Massive Amounts of Bait Light Up the Fishing
By
Seamus
on 8/3/2023 9:23:00 AM • Views (90)
The last couple of days have featured October blitzes in August along the RI oceanfront. Massive amounts of bait in the form of peanut bunker and bay anchovies have lured in big schools of stripers and bluefish. As I predicted a couple of posts ago the fishing would light up once the bait arrives which would be soon. Regardless of how warm the...
