This has been a good week. The fish have come fairly easy. We've been getting the bass and blues both trolling and drift fishing with jigs and soft plastics. People love it. There has been fog and some mist but that is fine. It's the catching of fish and the beauty of the sea that people care about and remember. Bottom fishing has been more of a challenge. The big sea bass and fluke just are settled in yet in my area. But that will come.

Had five guys from upstate New York. The wanted bass and blues on light tackle, casting and jigging. Well we found some fish that were willing. For a good amount of the falling tide we had many fish. Everyone caught. I would call it a blitz. One fish after another. Gulls were feeding, fish were feeding and we all had a great time.

It's been fun. We've had some good people one the boat. They had a blast, catching striped bass and blues under the famous SouthEast Lighthouse off Block Island. The bottom fishing has been a challenge-- those fish haven't really filled in a settled down yet. Soon. But until then we'll relish in catching stripers and blues. We love these fish. Good to eat too.

The striped bass fishing is the best bet right now. Block Island has some beautiful fish that have just showed up from the west. A large pile of sand eels, a favorite food of the striped bass, have also arrived inshore in large numbers. The bait should keep the stripers around for some time. There are a few bluefish mixed in with the bass but not too many. Fluke fishing has been a bit of a grind. Sea bass, another food favorite, opens on June 18th. See you soon. John.

We had some wind. The wind built a sea. I didn't fish for two days, mowed the lawn, watched my son's soccer game. When I got back out, the water was still a little bit silty and weedy. This did make for some difficult fishing. This is part of the game: how to catch fish when the fish don't want to bite. We did manage some good bottom fish--scup, fluke, some Atlantic mackerel. The weather this week looks better, the ocean calm and inviting. I will report back in a few days. John

Good stuff. We've been running squid trips at night and fluke and striper trips during the day. Some good catches. Beautiful fish, beautiful squid. Good eating all around. This week we are in I plan on fluke fishing and maybe a couple more squid trips. Again, drop me a line if you would like to chat about booking a trip with me. Have a good week. John.
