Oct 01 2008 - VID00118_1.jpgSchools of small bass and what may have been bluefish were balling bait on both sides of Watch Hill Light today.

On the east side of the light, gulls and terns were diving on feeding fish near Ocean House Beach at the top of the ebb tide.

On the west side of the light, schools of bait and predators were working outside of casting range off the beach club.

A British couple on an angling holiday said they caught schoolies on flies at Napatree Point.

In Newport, Peter Graeber of The Saltwater Edge reports that bass are feeding on mullet, and there are false albacore in fair numbers from Newport to the islands.
