Porgy Changes
Scup or porgy fishing has been extended until December 31st.
Fishing has finally picked up from shore. We have had a very slow 6 weeks or so, but last Friday with the change in temperature, we had a big change in the surf action. Anglers were cathching from Watch Hill Lighthouse, all the breachways and the local beaches. Monster blues and 20 pound bass were being weighed in. Albies were flying all over the reefs in Watch Hill. Big seabass are being taken off the ledges all over Block. Black fish are becoming more visable too.
With the cooler nights coming back we hope to see even more action from the beaches.

Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers AssociationThe 2011 recreational regs for Black Sea Bass in Rhode Island have been set: 13 inches, 12 fish/day and open July 11 to December 31.
Hello All
Well we are off to a very slow start. Schoolies are showing up at the regular places, like the west wall and the cemetary. There have been some pick ups at Quonny Pond early mornings. Nothing too big, but a landing of any fish right now makes for a great day. Squid are in the pond, and bunker is showing up too. ( WE have fresh bunker in the store, as well as mummies.) We won't be starting our Mad Fisherman's Contest until June, but we have in-store contest Quonny versus Wickford Rod Works. Quonny holds the plaque from last summer. Anyone interested in fishing that tourney should drop by for details. There isn't a entry fee. It is surf only.
We were asked last year for sweatshirts, well they are here. Special -T Shop did a great job. We have a new wooden local lure called Sea View Lures. A great variety. New this year Al Gag's Whip It Eel, Rebels, Yo-zuri squid gigs, Jeros Tackle squid jigs, Suffix Braid, B Brothers Rods, Penn's new Battle reel, to name a few. We have free bait lockers. They are limited, so if you are intrested give us a call
This weeekend is RI's Spring Fest. Look for the link on tour home page.
The store hours will increase weekly, so check out the website for the changes.
Bye for now,
Keep those knees a knockin

Well Mark O'Brien is the Mad Fisherman Contest Winner for June. Two months in a row for Mark who weighed in a 38.4 pound striper caught from a boat off of Block on eels. Congrats to Mark who will receive a $25 gift certificate to the shop.
For the month of July, The Mad Fisherman's Contest will open to surf only. (Sorry Mark). So far we have a 26.96 weighed in from Josh Richardson. HE was also using eels, and yes it is a surf hog.
As for a fishing report....slow from shore unless you are fishing eels or bunker at dusk into the night. From shore there is a lot of scup being caught and a trigger fish here and there. Boat guys are doing very good on fluke, seabass, and striper. Big blues are also in the mix. The warmer waters are hurting the surf and fly guys right now.
That's all for now,
Robin and Jeff
