"Before the winds on Saturday, the action has been hot aboard River Rebel Charters," report skippers Randall and Joe Bagwell.
"The bass action around Prudence Island was hot on Friday with the bass more interested in dead bait over live menhaden. With most bass being in the 18-pound range, the water north of Coninicut light is also productive with bass and 10-pound bluefish. A large school of menhaden moved in around Sandy Point Friday.
"Friday, our customers wanted to try some fluke fishing, and that was very productive near Sakonnet light with three 6-pound fluke brought home and weighed in at Lucky Bait.
"Saturday, action in Mount Hope Bay returned with bass as large as 27 pounds. Most were in the 15- to 20-pound range on live menhaden, but a chunk landed the 27-pounder."

Fishing Report for Sunday, June 1, 2008. The Bettencourt clan (Albert - Grandpa, Kevin - Son, & Shane - Grandson) departed Stanley's Marina at 5am in search of big bass up the Providence River.
Fishing the 15th Annual Striper Marina Bass Tournament, we had high hopes of getting on the board in the tournaments final day. It didn't take long to find the pogies as the fish had them boxed in along the scrap yard. On the 6th snag, 7 year old Shane Bettencourt, hooked & landed a 21 lb striper.
This would be the first of 3 fish Shane would land over 20 lbs today. A short while later he boated a 22 pounder and finished the day with a 22 lb 4 oz striper that took 1st place in the youth Division of the 15th Annual Striper Marina Bass Tournament. Pictures will be forwarded as soon as they're developed.
Needless to say Shane put on a clinic for his Dad and Grandfather today! Congratulations Shane, I'm proud of you!
Sincerely,
Capt. Kevin Bettencourt
