RI Fish Report Blog, May 29 - June 4

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

The fish blog was created as a common communal gathering place to share and report weekly fishing activity. Having this information in one thread benefits those who greatly use this RI forum and ply our local waters. The premise is to gather all weekly reports into one common portal, thus making it easy to access, view and add your own fish reports and comments.   This is the sixth year for this unique approach. Post your success or skunks, either way, black or white, zero to hero, let us all share this information.  Fresh, factual information is one of the best sources of Intel we have at our disposal to predict what may happen tomorrow.

 

Take a minute to pause Monday and remember the true spirit of the holiday. It's very sad in away, but their believes and courage to wage all, set them apart as great Americans. 

So far no Cinder Worms, was down South County Saturday night. Perhaps all this late cold weather is delayed the action.

Sunday sunrise backwater. Very slow. Caught one small striper on a deadly dick. Had several hits on a bone jumping minnow but didn’t hook up. I have singles on the plug. Wondering if I should put the trebles back on. I think some of the hits were bluefish and I know they often swipe at surface plugs and often elude hookup. I also had several follows and non commital on the jumpin minnow. 
I think it’s time to try some other locations.

Went out front along south county for 2-3 hours yesterday morning for tog.   Just a few small fish caught.    No sea bass or porgies caught.  We drop some squid to see if any around and it was mostly left alone.    Fishing mostly around 30 feet.  We had a short window so only tried a few places, with none producing.

Nice flies Ray. Your dad was an Army guy. My dad was Navy, served on the Yorktown. Ironically he was stationed on Block Island for a while learning submarine sound detection. I wish he had some money to buy land out there back then,lol

Drove to Ep yesterday and 10-15 boats stacked on top of each other you know where. But no one seemed to be catching either times passing by.

Captain Ray, those are some very Sweet looking flies,sir!

I am no expert on fishing the cinder worm hatch, but I was fortunate enough to meet one of the RISA old timers at the gym in Warwick where I played him in racquetball.  He told me this: we need some warm days with low tide at noon to get that mud nice and warm and get the worms moving, so they hatch on the high tide 6 hours later.  He also told me in cooler years, which we seem to be in, the hatch comes off on the June new moon, which is still a few weeks off.  I like that nice river in Gansett to fish the worm hatch and love that kind of action, because the technical challenge is high. I just hope the mosquitoes are not out in force, I don't like the bug spray.

I already told you but I figure I can make my report here...

 

Same way Friday, Boats struggled to get bait and I didnt see a single fish caught. Not sure if thats correlated, fish could be picky, I saw a lot of boats jigging spoons. I did see a lot of small bait pushed into a corner with the occasional splash but the fish werent interested in anything I threw.

 

Luckily we were able to sneak some bait out of the depths and head back south again, mid bay. Boated 4 had plenty of other hits. Weird thing was we didn't mark any fish on fish finder or side scan but I am no expert so could be operator error. Lots of other boats around but didn't see anyone catch, again most people I saw had spoons or were casting so fish could have been picky.

Sheesh. Sounds like the main body carried right on by you guys.

 

What happened to the blues? Any shore sightings?

Ive heard recent reports of large schools mid bay and caught a few out front myself at a breachway but that was 3 weeks ago.

Nice this morning before the smoke from wildfires came in. Mid bay near a light house had tons of productivity. Bass and blues working on peanut bunker. If you were lucky enough to live line adult pogey you could get lucky. We had to throw the spoons and tins to get action. Unfortunately all under and over the 3 in slot size. But it sure was a lot of fun.

My youngest loves to fish, and is meh on sports..... My oldest loves sports and could care less about fishing.  Its a funny mix, but he is my fishing buddy and i wouldnt trade it for the world.  My oldest is my baseball buddy.
