Projo Fishing: HotBytes |
Brendan Richards, pictured, caught bass drifting eels aboard the charter boat L'il Toot in the Rip at the northern end of Block Island this week. "The fishing has been really good at dusk and into the night," says Chris Willi of Block Island FishWorks. "The Rip has been red hot on the moving tide, sometimes with top-water lures and sometimes with mid-water lures. The Slug-Go and the Jumpin' Minnow are choice lures for light tackle guys. Squid flies, white Deceivers, and sand eel patterns are working on the fly. Two friends of mine enjoyed a sunny morning chasing some bass at the Rip and then at Southwest Point. The fish were a bit finicky but getting the fly into the middle of the pack seemed to prompt the strikes. Charlestown Beach has maintained its reputation as the place to be for the first to weeks of June for the surf casters, and the New Harbor channel is freshly dredged and holding fish. Not much is happening at Black Rock yet." State waters near Southwest Ledge are producing some large bass this week, said Al Conti. A 58-pounder came to the scale at Snug Harbor Marina.
