| Bass & Fluke- Watch Hill/Block Island Hi All, Took a group out for a day's fishing on a Blue Moon incoming tide last Thursday. Caught a ton of short bass and some very nice keepers in and around the Watch Hill Reef Complex and at BI, as well. Also spent a couple hours fluking at the SW Corner at BI. While the group had non-stop action on squid and spearing combos for the whole time that we were fishing, the vast majority of fish were all 'cookie-cutters' approximately one inch shy of the RI size limit. We did pick up some very nice keepers including a very fat 27" fish. Saturday, I ran two half day trips on both the flood and ebb tides with both groups capturing large numbers of sub-legal fish mixed in with some keepers in the 28- 32" bracket. All fish were taken trolling Snapper Slapper lures sweetened with Mario's Squid Strips. This morning, back to BI for non-stop fluke action with bag limits being reached (19- 27") via culling through untold numbers of these summertime flatties. Stopped on the way home and picked up some very nice bass on the east end of Fishers Island. Both of these fisheries will improve over the course of the next few weeks as more and more linesiders filter in from both LIS and from the mid-Atlantic spawning grounds. There's no doubt that there's some big fish to be had, especially during the hours of darkness, dusk and dawn. |

| Great report Bill, thanks. Hope that new ride is treating you well this season too. We'll be fishing BI next weekend on the TriAngler. Give us a shout if you're OTW.
