The 2022 RI Tog Classic was a success by the ever-grateful and not exaclty soft spoken Ralph Craft. A cast of hundreds from here to Florida came to fish for our bountiful tautog fishery, which we really need to protect and then, a young angler named Rosie stoll the show. The best wrap up is right here.
This Fall is proving to be an absolutely epic season for migrating stripers and we are seeing fish from the Hurricane Barrier all the way to the Pt. Judith lighthouse. This week we offer you some great fishing tips and a few words to help you get through the next seasons. As always, thanks for reading Fish Wrap.
Patagonia, Daiwa and St. Croix have new gear for a newseason but it’s Yvon Chouimnard’s announcement that make the biggest news. He has decided to help, once again, save the earth we keep trashing by ensuring his company and legacy are protected as conservationist. Read more about his decision this week along with a release of new Daiwa largemouth bass jigs and new beautiful St. Croix rods. Thank you Yvon Chouinard.
The Rhode Island Surfcasters once again share their time and talents, working with the Providence Vets Center, to take some heros fishing. Illuminated by an easy sunset and magic hour lighting, Surfcasters volunteers guided, offered and stood behind a group of vets who deserve our appreciation.
Yes indeed, we are declaring Friday, October 14, 2022 as Fish Wrap Fishing Friday. It’s time to lace up, wader up, get up and get outside before the winds of change have us shoveling and hiding. Let’s fish, shoot and watch a film on a fine Fall Friday. It’s all here, in Fish Wrap this week.
Team Heavy’s back to back threshers was an unreal adventure in a small boat twenty miles from shore. Greg has a keen eye for the best bottom, the right gear and most importantly, the right people to have on the boat. Read all about a giant thresher this week and then see how, with a little help from my mother in law, some are was added to the wall.
There are few more exciting and frustrating late summer and early fall adventure than fishing for false albacore. Anglers wait all year, some plan vacations around their return, which can never be assured or guaranteed. They need clear water, calm seas and acres of bait; you need patience and to be all in for albies.

Deep in the brush, enveloped in protective poison ivy, slowing water, amassing mud, encouraging alders to set roots in a stream, a tired wall has prohibited trout passage for nearly one hundred years. Then, Trout Unlimited, RIDEM and Protect RI Brook Trout grabbed loppers and sledgehammers and tore that wall down. The improvement was immediate and frankly, really wonderful.
When fishing Maine, you just get to it, get over bad weather and get to fishing in Maine-ly rains, clouds, wind, gusts, downpours, thunder…No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing, right? LIVE TARGET, Al’s Goldfish, Z-Man and North Land Tackle found big bass in pretty lousy weather, lousy if you’re not a fisherman or woman, that is.
