Perseverence pays off

Nick Chagnon reports on Saturday's fishing:

"Fishing on the Patty-J was decent today. The fish were not widespread nor very numerous. However, they had some good size. We caught about 10 bass and 20 blues. The biggest striper was about 40 pounds with another about 35.

"The bluefish seem to be getting bigger everyday. This makes for a great fight but a somewhat oily fillet.

"The bass fishing has been somewhat challenging lately with the fish only biting in isolated spots on certain tides but it seems there are enough fish to make some pretty good trips most days. Basically, it seems those with patience and perseverance are being rewarded eventually with some large bass, but there hasn't been a red hot bite lately."

Mike McGaw reports from the Sakonnet:

"The striper action is picking up again out front. Fished the drop edges of Schuyler's Ledge at the end of the Sakonnet and took several large blues before a 43-inch striper came to the tube and worm. Water temp was 69 degrees, tide incoming."
