Bluefish!!!

The past three evenings have been very exciting at one of my favorite south shore locations.  There are tons of small bait and plenty of action using top-water and subsurface artificials.  I had the pleasure of catching some 2-4 lb. blues on some of my own artificial poppers that I made out of some downed tree limbs from the yard over the winter.  Pretty cool. Jen (my beautiful wife) was able to land a couple of nice blues last evening as well.  I was very proud.

The picture here was taken by Dave Pickering who was also on the jetty yesterday.   You can see more at his excellent blog:  http://ristripedbass.blogspot.com/  
Ferocious blitzes like this occurred off and on for the entire time Jen and I were there.

Two days ago Jen and I had to run for cover during a massive blitz that stretched from the shore to the first bend of the jetty in order to escape lighting and a monsoon type rain.  As long as the bait is there, I'm sure the fish will remain as well.  See you in the surf! - jc

Great End to the Season

Mid-November was an exciting time here in South County, RI.  There was a ton of bait along the shore and the fish showed up in droves to feast.  It was great to see so many fishermen out enjoying the beautiful weather and the ferocious bite of monster Bluefish and schoolie Bass.  As long as that bait continues to hug the shore and the weather holds, RI fishermen should be in for a treat all along the south shore beaches and breachways in the coming days.  I'll see you in the surf - JC.
