Oh what a week it was. Big national news, big warm weather, big rains and still, thankfully, more fish. November has been an easy weather month, so far, which we may pay for later on but for now, let’s talk black sea bass, stubborn bluefish, togs, squid while we...

Going Crab-less for Tautog

by Todd Corayer | Nov 5, 2020 | New England Fishing Clubs, Rhode Island Fishermen

Fishing contests don’t make front page news in an age of scandals, accusations and reverse fake news. “Where you gonna run to when the world’s on fire?” asked Woodie Guthrie in his prophetic song, “Sowing on The Mountain.” While a country in turmoil reposes in front...

Many of us try our level best to teach our kids how important it is to get outside, breathe some fresh air and if we can get them on the water, to catch some fish. Sometimes we teach them our skills and experience such pride when they shine. Sometimes we get to take a...

by Todd Corayer | Oct 11, 2020 | 2020 Fishing Season, Fresh Water Fishing, Rhode Island Trout Fishing
