This past week started off with some of the best Bluefin Tuna fishing we have seen in a while with all boats loading up and grabbing fish pushing 150 lbs. All the fish were taken on live bait and we didn't have to go that far to get to the action!
The day and night time Bass bite was off the hook as well! Multiple 50 pounders were landed and released on the night bite and fish up to 47 pounds were taken during the day trips on live eels. Monster Bluefish were mixed in the bass.
Fluke and sea Bass have continued to be consist and with good numbers of recreational keeper fish being taken along with some big sea bass.
The Cod Bite is starting to pick up as well. We had fish up to 15 pounds and good numbers on the Saturday trip.
Sharkin Remains consistent. We had 7 Blue sharks and a small mako yesterday all on spinning gear.

July12 Fishing Report

Inshore: This week the bass bite has finally turned on with monster bass taken at night on live eels and fish up to 35 pounds taken on the troll during the day bite. Every drop on the troll is and instant hook up! Giant gator blues are mixed in with the bass. Huge blues up to 15 pounds! Sea bass have invaded the local beaches and reefs, nice keeper sea bass on every drop. Plenty of Fluke around as well.

Offshore: Shark season is in full swing, busted off a 250lb. mako at the boat yesterday after a 45 minute battle on spinning gear. Also had an additional 6 Blue sharks.
Knot Reel Teeth Fished the Snug Harbor Shark Tournament and managed a tally for the weekend of 4 Makos and 16 Blue Sharks. Nothing big enough to bring to the scales but plenty of action none the less. First signs up Bluefin Tuna are starting to show and it should be any time now that the bite will bust wide open.
We had a decent Cod trip yesterday with a Pollock on the first drop mixed in with some nice Cod up to 15 pounds. We did well until the wind picked up and pushed us over 2 knots a drift

This past weeks trips have been packed with a ton of 27-32 inch striped bass with a hand full of 30 pound class fish taken on the troll during the day. The bluefish returned to the back side of Block in big numbers this past week
The Fluke and sea bass bite remains decent with a bunch of nice fluke up to 7 pounds and a slew of keeper size sea bass.

The Big Game Crew took the better part of the week off to prepare, get ready and set up for the 12th Annual Fluke Til Ya Puke Fishing Tournament. Despite the small craft advisory and fog, 1116 anglers trudged out into 5 ft. slop for their chance to take home over $50,000 in cash and prizes.
Most everyone we spoke to that weighed fish said the fishing was a slow grind, with a hand full of guys doing well. The guys and gals that did catch, caught Big! Here are the list of winners and pay outs...

Fishing Report June 12

This past week we had a mixed bag of inshore trips as well as the first offshore trip of the season.
The fluke bite has been hit or miss with some trips doing very well while others struggled to get them to bite. Nice Sea Bass have been cooperating to offset the slow Fluke days.

The back side of Block is loaded with sand eels with plenty of schoolie bass and blues mixed in. All you can catch on the troll, with some signs of some larger fish up to 40 pounds showing up on the reef.

Offshore - Saturday we went out searching for Bluefin Tuna with no luck. After a few hours on the troll, we switched gears and loaded up on Blue Sharks taken on spinning gear which made the day.

No trips scheduled this week until Saturday as we get Point View Marina Ready for Fluke Til Ya Puke. All Big Game Boats will be sailing for the Fluke Til Ya Puke Tournament..

June 5 Fishing report

The Fluke bite remains hot with a boat load of keeper fluke this past week and weekend. The 18" - 18 1/2" Fluke population is thriving, as the quote of the week was "Would have been a kepper last year..." lol
Tons of small striped bass with some keepers mixed in with a ton of Blues and some nice sea bass as well. Big Game Sport Fishing is running daily, with 3 boats to choose from. Call Brian 401-243-7046 to book today or visit our website at www.biggamefishingri.com

5/23 Fishing Report

The Fluke Bite was decent this past week with lots of shorts but we were still able to bring home boat limits on the trips we had last week with fish up to 7 pounds, we just had to work a little harder to get those keeper fish. Decent Sea Bass were mixed in to the catch.
The striped bass bite is just starting to pick up at the North end of the Island with keeper size fish mixed in with 20-30 inch fish on diamond jigs and trolling umbrella rigs. Tons of bait on the south side of Block Island.
