This weekend will be a hot one for striped bass in New England and I plan on getting out and trying my luck at some fat slobs off the coast of Block Island, RI. Trying out my new go pro aboard Capt. Kelly Crunch charters, I am hoping to post some sick videos and fish proof this weekend. We will be fishing the south side of Block Island, where recent fishing reports boast of fat bass keepahs, bluefish and the sporadic albie schools. Night fishing will give you the best opportunity to catch a 28″ plus bass in the fall. The larger fish are more active in the cooler waters at night and fishing pressure is not as “shoulder to shoulder” as it can be during the summer run.
Other than striped bass, Rhode Island fishing in the early fall can sport some tasty false albacore, black sea bass, scup and fast blitzing blues. I can tell you all kinds of fluff and advice about saltwater fishing (mostly my personal opinion and bias) but if you are curious to learn solid information and get tips to improve your game, I strongly advise you click this On The Water link. They are a huge resource for me and many other anglers to get no BS fishing reports and hot new techniques to try out. Capt. Kelly is projecting a big yield tonight, but I will have the video proof this weekend. If you have any questions about this post, please contact me at greenlakechronicles@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!
