Those targeting tautog are finding them on most of the boulder fields and walls around Point Judith, while sea bass limits remain easy to come-by throughout the area. The bonito bite has improved along the south shore and are often in the mix with the stripers and bluefish. Block Island is still producing bigger bass on the troll and on eels after dark. The area from the west wall to Watch Hill is producing bass and a few bluefish, and there have been fish around the Point Judith lighthouse during most tides.
Jay, at Pamela May Charters in Narragansett, has still been finding some mid-summer consistency in his neck of the woods for most species. Freshwater anglers are still reporting good largemouth results this week, with Hawkins Pond, Smith Pond, and Sayles Pond all being recent hotspots. Fly anglers are reporting decent action on smaller fish around Jamestown and Newport, while bigger fish are being taken on eels around Brenton Reef. Nick, at Big Bear Hunting and Fishing reports that the bottom fishing was up and down this week, with decent sea bass results, and inconsistent fluke results.
62-70-inch class fish are actively taking jigs and small school fish are being taken on the troll. The bluefin bite has slowed a bit but is still going relatively close to home. Some nice sea bass have been mixed in with the cod, and there has been no shortage of many species of sharks on the offshore grounds. Further from home, the cod bite has been strong with fish in the 8-10-pound range around Coxes. Most days are producing slot fish after you weed through several larger fish. Reservations are still required, so be sure to make them online or call the office.Ĭaptain Rick, at Priority Charters in Narragansett told me that the bass and bluefish bite is holding up well on the southeast side of Block Island and around Point Judith. Things were quiet early last week and have picked up since, including some limit catches of fluke and sea bass last weekend that saw fluke to the 12.5-pound mark! Even when the fluke bite isn’t going strong the sea bass bite has picked up the slack, with limit catches on most half-day and full-day trips. Rhode Island Fishing ReportĬaptain Rich, of The Frances Fleet in Point Judith reported some mixed results this week but is seeing a trend of better fish over the past few trips. Chris Higgins scored another nice tuna this week.
