  For me the bright spot has been  kayak fishing in May.  Shore fishing has been below expectations for May. May is supposed to be the big spring month of striped bass fishing here in RI.  It has not been so far. April started of

My Joyce IIIMontauk NYWe had a great afternoon yesterday with the Street family. There was tons of jig action with plenty of short stripers and big blues. The rods were bent all afternoon! A nice trip to get the ball rolling! Call My Joyce Charters f

 It's that time of year when boaters have a big big advantage over shore fishermen.  In the past the exception has been the Cape Cod Canal but this year the Canal has been fishing poorly so far. Most of the stripers in RI have been hea

 The boys and I did our annual Father's Day Fishing Outing today.  Last year we did this for the first time out in the kayaks in Narragansett Bay.  This year we got a lot more fancy. Matt got a new boat a Grady White 18 footer and

Capt JR reports a tough evening of jigging on the Viking Star. We kept with it though and landed one nice beauty. The fish are definitely still around but were apparently not keen on the tide.

 Surprise surprise! I landed my first bluefish of the year this evening along the oceanfront.  The fish about 6 lbs. hit a NLBN paddle tail that was intended for a striper.  This is very early for a blue along the oceanfront.  Wi

  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
