"Stripers arrived a little over two weeks ago, right as the shadbush was blooming," writes Chris Willi of Block Island Fishworks. "Rick Hall was once again the first to land a keeper bass on the island - on May 4th I believe. But most of the local shore guys -- Gary Censorio, Jamie Johnson, and Ed McGovern -- followed suit shortly after.
"Plenty of bait around - sandeels and baby bunker. 7- to 9-inch soft plastics in a variety of colors have been working. Dark patterns at night for fly fishing have been best. There has been some good boat action along Southwest Point and North Light, and I expect the south side to light up soon. Keepers are around with lots of schoolies.
"No blues yet."
