This is such an unbelievable time to fish Rhode Island. Decent-sized stripers are still feeding in salt ponds, fluke season is here, bluefish are making a mess of plastics and up in Narragansett...
The American Saltwater Guides Association took the regulatory tiger by the tail to protect striped bass. According to Peter Jenkins, they're just getting started because they know, fish are worth more in the water than in a cooler.
Our Fish Wrap Summer Gear Guide aims to combine several tastes, sports and styles to help outdoorsmen and women be ready for a new hot season, no matter where you roam.
Ain't it cool? Striped bass came into South County like rockets then left us like college girlfriends to find mates up north near the Providence River and points east.

Tune into our weekly Fish Wrap Fishing Report each Friday on Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.
How Do You Value Opening Day? Is this day for fishing stocked ponds, stringers and bacon? Is it for an overdue hour on a rolling river with the hopes of possibly finding some wild brookies?
