"The big news of the week continues to be the fantastic fluke fishing all along the Rhode Island shoreline," writes Frank Blount, skipper of the Frances Fleet.
"Capt. Rich on the 7 a.m. boat has been crushing big fluke every day with the smallest pool fish around 8 pounds, and winner usually 10 pounds or better. Fish in the 4- to 6-pound range are commonplace with anglers often having several fish of that size in their limit catches...
"The take has been almost all fluke with just a few nice sea bass, scup and bluefish in the mix.
"All terminal gear has been working well with the Spro jigs and bucktails hot for some anglers, and just a tandem bait rig with squid and spearing producing size and numbers for others.
"Mylar flies and spinners have also been hot at times.
"The fishing just really does not get any better and the body of fluke seems to be staggering."
