A few anglers caught some schoolies on leadheads at Weekapaug yesterday, says Pat Abate of Rivers End Tackle, but fishing, in general, has been pretty slow.

"The only bright spot is Long Sand Shoal and reports of some bass trolled up on Hatchetts Reef," he wrote this morning. "Some schoolies are still in the mouth of the Connecticut River and more by the Thames.

"The bunker have been gone for a week and it doesn't seem like too much other bait remains.

"No word on any herring run forming along the Rhode Island beaches yet.

"There were a few reports of bluefish at Long Sand Shoal and Plum Gut earlier this week.The last holdout historically has been at Rocky Point in Connecticut, but there's been no confirmation of that yet this year."

The blackfish bite is still good in about 30 feet of water, he said, but the fish have been smaller than usual.
