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.
