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.
When Ralph Craft throws a party, everyone has fun and some charity wins big. The 2022 RI Tog Classic is on and you need to be there because the Three Angels Fund needs you to jig deep and dig deeper.

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.
Boats blocking public access are just as egregious as wealthy weekenders guarding “their” piece of a beach. With this crush of tourism in many coastal communities, people’s laziness or belief their seasonal residence affords them a pass to year round laws, can block others from accessing water. Please, take your boats home.

Cod, fluke, Lawrence Thompson & Jerry Garcia make for a big week of Fish Wrap. Cod fishing is on pause for good reason, fluke are sparse but charitable, if that makes any sense, Lawrence and his family are pure joy to write about and Jerry, well, there’s always room for Mr. Garcia in Fish Wrap, especially as we begin the days between.
