The Striped Bass bite during the day has been lights out this past week! Big Game and Big Game II have been catching boat limits of fish between 30 and 48 pounds within a half hour and catch and releasing monster bass through the rest of the tide. Monster Sea Bass have moved into local reefs and rock piles and are automatic boat limits on every trip. Fluke has been decent. As long as you hit the tide right we've been doing ok on the Fluke but we've had to work for them. Moving around a lot to find the fish that want to chew.
Offshore:
The Bluefin Tuna bite is on, and it's close to home. Only 28 miles from Point Judith, which means less travel time and more time fishing! The fish are mixed in with Humpbacks, Finbacks, Porpoise and sharks feeding on some of the most concentrated schools of sand eels we've seen, which makes for a scene out of National Geographic! Most of our hookups have come early morning either on Green Machine Spreader bars, Joe Shutes with Ballyhoo and jigging RonZ's
Most of the fish are 50-100 pounds with some definite monsters mixed in, We were tight on a fish for about 30 minutes which dumped the Spool 3 times on a Cabo 120 hooked to a RonZ and Our client said he could feel the other fish bumping the line through the battle before we broke the fish off on another tuna! No Joke! There are some serious fish mixed in the school! Small mahi have started to show on the pots in Coxes and South of Block Island. Bigger Mahi have been taken South in the Shipping Lanes and Fishtales.
We have open days August 28,29 and Plenty into September which is Prime Tuna Time. Call Captain Brian Bacon to book today at 401-243-7046 or visit our site at www.BigGameFishingRI.com
