RI Fish Report Blog, September 11 - September 17

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.

 

Much better higher tides at sun rise this week should produce better morning fishing.

It's a busy week for me, be out 4 out of the 5 weekdays looking for footballs. 

The beginning of the week looks good for wind and waves maybe dodge some raindrops.

Nothing flies by me without a hook!
If my fly is down, That's a good thing.

Public Access.....It's a shore thing. My daily requirement of "Vitamin Sea".

Four boats were out today of friends and me, covered some large areas looking for footballs.

One went as far as Quonnie, 

One off Newport, Jamestown.

One off the walls all the way to the Coast Guard House.

Just a few sighted from a distant, not caught.

Well you can’t make this **** up. After Saturday’s mahi mahi dolphin, I launched the yak to the sight of mammalian dolphins casually rolling until they dove down, flipper up to never be seen again.

 

I fought the fog and stayed tight to shore this morning to find wolf packs 15+ strong of banded rudder fish. One took a hook deep so he came home. Had a baby squid in its stomach.

 

Saw my first gannet of the fall. Just a single flying by, no dive bombing.

 

Ended with 3 albies, one blind casting, 2 trolling. 3 blow ups blind casting but only the one hook up. Not much surface activity.

 

And to top it off, I spooked a flying fish on the way in! Glided for 30 yds at least

That’s awesome. You’re getting more fish then the guys in the big boats.

Waded a flat mid bay yesterday afternoon chasing whatever will bite the fly and at one end there’s a steep drop off to like 20-30’. I was expecting blues, sea robins, etc but 80’ in front of me I see a flash in the deep water and all hell breaks loose with albies flying everywhere. No hookups despite feeling my fly getting tossed about in the melee. Went to another spot this morning chasing bass high up in the bay and similar story: wave of small bait cruising on the surface, then pure pandemonium. Needless to say, still no funny fish on the board but getting shore based shots is very promising.

Tried a north east shore spot looking for albies after work. Started about 6pm. Not too many people there and people leaving as I arrived. Should have told me something. Lots of bait and great conditions but the fish Surely didn’t like it because there were none around. 
since I hadn’t caught a fish in over three weeks I decided to jig the bottom with a bucktail with gulp mullet. Picked up about 4 sea robbins and one small fluke. Right after sunset went to a pink albie snax. Caught a small blue. Near dark tried a sp minnow and caught another small blue. 
Tried a few casts at another location on my way home and nothing was home.

^^What he said. Got wave-slapped a few times last nite and had to back off. Got a cpl of bass, one right at or just below 28" out front. Weeds were a constant problem.

 

Went inside to a calmer backwater and the amount of bait was insane. All 4-5" bunker and bass all over them, some decent. Got a bunch, all med to high schoolies but there were definitely some bigger fish around. Was undergunned at least once on a drag burner that came loose. Eventually big floating rafts of weed fouled every cast and further effort was futile.
