Paul Goscinski took this weakfish off Goddard Memorial State Park.

Fishing on the Bay continues to blossom.

"Fishing aboard Bill Dzilenski's Blue Moon [yesterday] morning, I caught an 8-pound squeteague off Goddard Park," reports Paul Goscinski of South Kingstown. "The fish took a chartreuse Cocohoe Minnow.

"The rhododendrons are blooming, so it must be squeteague time."

Bill "Eelman" Nolan continues to catch big bass on live menhaden on the upper Bay. Pictured is a 31-pounder he caught yesterday.

"Flukin' with the Robert party started slowly Sunday morning," rewports Thom Pelletier, skipper of the charter boat ThomCat, fishing off South County's beaches. "Started picking up at about 9 a.m., and from then on it was pretty steady. Fished until 1 p.m. with 14 keepers to 7 pounds among three anglers. Beautiful morning with tide and wind in sync, providing a perfect drift. Started out with chartreuse, pink and glow ThomCats but switched to all GlowDaddys and GlowBabys as that's about all they wanted. The meat was various combos of live mummies, squid and dead shiners. There were as many boats as I think I've ever seen at one time all the way down the south shore."
