Bluefish were blitzing in the Providence River near the hurricane barrier early this morning and off Colt State Park later in the morning, reports Ed Hughes of Clean The Bay who was out there working.
Chris Willi of Block Island Fishworks reports that fishing at the island is challenging, and David Henault of Ocean State Tackle believes the bass are feeding in Narragansett Bay instead of their usual haunts close to the island and off Newport.
This morning, Billy Silvia, skipper of the charter boat Can't Imagine, caught a 20-pound bass off Newport, then moved inside the Bay and caught bass in the 30-pound class off Sandy Point and Poppasquash Point, David said.

sorry for the late posting but i was slaughtering them (blues) at the chaffee nature preserve last friday. it's located just north of the jamestown bridge, off rt. 1. a bit of a hike to the beach (probably a mile or so). i had the beach to myself except for some dog walkers. 15 blues landed, 4 broke off my gear. all in the 8-10 lb. range. every cast was a hit - amazing. best day of fishing i ever had. want to mention the wind - it was blowing up the bay. that's why i went to this beach. it curls into a cove towards the northwest so the blues were probably using the wind to corral the peanut bunker there. cheers
