Hoping for more big bass, fresh and salt

by Todd Corayer | Oct 2, 2019 | Albie Fishing, Block Island, Bonito Fishing, False Albacore Fishing, Fluke Fishing, Fresh Water Fishing, New England Fishing Clubs, Striped Bass Fishing

September is such a sportsman’s month. Fish are in big time, goose and deer season opens and the Fall archery season for turkey begins. Waters are warm; around 66 off the beaches and as high as 72 in southern salt ponds. Days are warm, nights are cool. Provided Mother...

by Todd Corayer | Sep 26, 2019 | Fresh Water Fishing, New England Fishing Clubs

Last week’s RI Kayak Bassin’ tourney stop at South Kingstown’s Indian Lake was a fantastic opportunity to go fishing with some of the best people on the water and realize how fishing is important to all ages. Fourteen kayak fishermen hit the water at 7:00 am ready to...

There’s no time to ignore the striper in the room or vote for the status quo

by Todd Corayer | Sep 23, 2019 | Striped Bass Fishing

Here’s a link to the ASMFC Amendment VI which is all about protecting striped bass. There are several options in there and I would suggest the Status Quo option only ignores the obvious and does nothing for a fishery we love and even depend on....

Competition or not, September fishing is top notch

by Todd Corayer | Sep 21, 2019 | New England Fishing Clubs, Striped Bass Fishing

The world of competitive freshwater fishing is exciting to say the least and the Ocean State is lucky to have several groups who take advantage of our many freshwater resources and in many cases, relatively low fishing pressure.  Most groups have semi-regular...

New winds bring albies, bonito and chub mackerel

by Todd Corayer | Sep 16, 2019 | Albie Fishing, American Saltwater Guides Association, Block Island, Bonito Fishing, Striped Bass Fishing

And just like that, leaves are falling. Barely September and that north wind is blowing back in windows for months hidden by shades and drying out dark garage corners where snow shovels lie forgotten. For now. That north wind has brought in bonito and bonita and...

by Todd Corayer | Sep 4, 2019 | Block Island, Fresh Water Fishing, skeet shooting, Striped Bass Fishing

Summer is full on, waters are warm, September is here, fishing is hot and there are plenty of spots with lots of fish to keep you cool under the collar. NOAA has determined that July was the hottest month ever recorded. According to their scientists, “The average...

Summer is for fishing, Fall is for hunting and fishing some more

by Todd Corayer | Aug 28, 2019 | Black Sea Bass Fishing, Hunting in Rhode Island, New England Fishing Clubs, skeet shooting, Striped Bass Fishing

Don’t let the dates fool ‘ya. Just because deer hunting season opens in a few weeks and the Fall turkey season happens shortly after does not by any means mean that summer is over. Fishing fresh and saltwater is red hot right now and given all the heat we’ve been...

New striped bass assessment needs our comments

by Todd Corayer | Aug 20, 2019 | American Saltwater Guides Association, Block Island, Striped Bass Fishing

Talk on the docks these days is the state of our striped bass fishery. Based on some recalculations of data points, the ASFMC determined that in 2017, the stock was overfished and overfishing was occurring. That assessment has triggered a regulatory review to bring...

  Tim Terranova. Tim Terranova. That name should be in your mental Rolodex. Captain Tim Terranova runs the Bonita II, a 36’ Hatteras charter boat out of Watch Hill. He has the only commercial charter boat slip there, thanks to good fortune and a moment of his own...
