Striped bass of all sizes have moved into local waters. Many seem to be holding up high in Narragansett Bay near the mouth of the Providence River and around the islands. This time of year classics like Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows, white or pearl Zoom Fluke’s and Slug-Go’s seem […]
This past weekend blessed us with fair winds, calm seas and just enough fog on Sunday to add a cloak of secrecy to those drifting for fluke which so far, has been slow but decent. Most success has been found along that magical 50-60’ line just south […]
this piece originally ran in the Narragansett Times back in March. Fishing today can be frustrating and it’s not what it used to be. There are hundreds of rules and regulations, there are trucks parked where you always parked to sneak into your secret spot that’s certainly not […]
Hopefully by now, fishermen who target striped bass or any other local species will have sent an email to the RIDEM about proposed regulations for this year’s striper season. We have an amazing and rare opportunity to get out ahead of a fishery in trouble, trouble that we […]

8/15/2014 POST CARD FROM THE LEDGE The pre-dawn commute to Block Island has been heavy with calm seas and favorable winds, drawing fishermen state-wide with hopes of securing a parking spot over the boulders and holes by sun-up. As first light made her first appearance, a steady stream […]
One way to get a fisherman thinking is to make him wait. You get that time at a two lane boat ramp when a freshly detailed crossover with a yellow plate is parked in the middle of both, while the driver provides a lesson in roof rack […]
It’s good to be in a good groove and it’s good to know there are lots of fish around, even if they are not really around you. The big bass we pined for all spring and early summer apparently passed on hanging around our beaches and for the […]
