Peter Pimental landed a 6.2-pound sea bass this week, reports Steve Travisono, skipper of the charter boat Sea Dog.

Bottom fishing was off today, but it has been terrific with fluke and sea bass biting, he said.

"This weekend's fishing was awesome even though it was slow," says Nils Christensen, creator of Ultimate Kayak Fishing. "The new moon on Friday messed up the tides for us to get out the cove because of water level.

"To do some early morning fluke fishing, we decided to leave at 4 a.m. to get out there for first light. First drift in 80 feet of water landed a nice fluke around 22 inches. On the second rod I got a pair of sea bass one weighed in at 4 pounds, and the second at 2.5 pounds.

"Don O'Neil and I landed a total three fluke and seven sea bass off Misquamicut."
