Bill "Eelman" Nolan

Many anglers would be thrilled to catch a pair of bass with a combined weight of 62 pounds.

Bill "Eelman" Nolan caught thes on menhaden on the Bay yesterday.

"I had several fish in this size range," he says. "The fishing has been steady but size has been lacking."

Block Island bass boil

Bass fishing has been really good along the western side of Block Island, says Chris Willi of Block Island FishWorks.

Over the weekend, 11-year-old Matthew Jarbeau caught a 46.3-pound striper on an eel. His father, Kevin, says Matthew's previous record weighed 38 pounds.

Even at slack tide, the Rip has had bass on the surface where fly fishermen are casting sand-eel and silverside imitations, says Chris Willi. Light-tackle anglers are throwing SuperSpooks, Ron-Zs and Sluggos. Bass on the surface are as large as 32 inches, but they are fat. For every four or five bass, there is a fat bluefish, Willi says.

Yesterday, free divers shot two 58-pound bass near Southwest Ledge.
