After a few days of strong wind we finally got to make our 3/4 day striper trip. It was a real nice day on the water with good fishing and a lot of people missed it. The action was good with a mix of sizes. We were able to make long drifts. We had o

Capts Greg and Kenny had Greg's dad Frank DeMello and work friends out for stripers. Bait was tricky to find at first and put 30 in the well. Went through those in 15 mins catching a fish and went to re-up on bait. Once we loaded the well again i

  My friend and charter boat captain Jerry Sparks got me hooked up with the Varivas line company.  This Japanese line company was looking for a surf fisherman that could be a field tester for them for their premium braided lines and fluoro

Had the Kelly family out this afternoon. Took a ride and found some excellent striper fishing - all big over sized fish. Matt caught the biggest which was 48 and was previously tagged not bad for his first striper! Diamond jigs and small spoons were

  Tonight was my first spring outing from the kayak and this was my first striper from the kayak.  I found a pile of schoolies.  All of them were caught on a weightless Super Zoom Flukes twitched on top.

  The fishing has seen an uptick in the  last week.  Kayakers and boater have had the advantage. I landed this one a few days ago from the yak. The recent very high and low tides delivered improved action for stripers here in RI. The

Had first timer Mark Kuminski out for stripers today. Tough getting bait but once we started fishing it was lights out instant bites for an hour straight and then steady picking and left them biting! Hard to beat for their first time livelining bunke

 The striper fishing has gone from red hot to ice cold in a matter of days. On Friday I hit one of the biggest blitzes of fish that I have seen in years.  At one point a school of fish in front of me was bigger than the size of a football

Had Peter Gravinese and the guys out today for stripers. Moved the trip to Point Pleasant with the west wind. Great guys and caught some fish throughout the day. 

The lake level is at 1070.05 (.95 feet below full pool) with water temperatures from 79-80 degrees and the main lake is clear. Water temps had reached their normal summer temps but the recent cool nights and rain has severely reduced the lake temper

  Here's a striper that grabbed my Red Gill Teaser a dead ringer when stripers are feeding on sandeels. The sandeel invasion is here.  In the last week big schools of them have arrived along the oceanfront with big numbers of stripers

Had Alex and Ilya back after there Striper crush from last week. Figured we would give tuna casting a shot. Had a half a dozen shots at them but couldnt connect. Ended the day bagging a bunch of slots and keepers for dinner

  Jon Pickering holds a slot fish that was taken from shore.  These larger fish have been hanging around places that have schools of menhaden. The fish was released in good shape.  By now the striper fishing should be humming here in

Captain JR reports a slight improvement in the local bass action. We had a few very nice stripers that were unfortunately much too big to keep. Also a few nice blues to bend the rods. Definitely not a slammer trip but a positive sign for the rapidly

High tides in the evening bring stripers out to feed. This is surface action on poppers. Light tackle is the name of the game here! These fish also chew on the flyrod. This is an amazing way to enjoy the marsh!

Had a fun with Yuda and the boys from the Fish On Tournament. Plan was to start with Trophy Stripers but some of the crew showed up really late missing the bite. Switched gears hit some wrecks salvaged the day with a bunch of nice seabass ling and c

  There has been a glut of schoolies along the RI oceanfront in the last couple of weeks. Here is one of many that I landed this afternoon. All year I have been writing on this blog about the lack of schoolies. The poor Young of the Year Indexe
