All I can say is this week has been wonderful for fishing with little boat traffic and some great conditions. The weather has been cooler then usual for early June but hey its still spring and to be honest I kind of like wearing a winter hat and gloves this time of year. The fishing has been top notch most days with a very nice push of fish that came in late last week and provided some great fishing this week in Narragansett Bay. The huge schools of bluefish earlier in the week feeding on all the small herring are much more dispersed making it easier to try and target bass in the deeper parts of the water column without getting cut off right away on bluefish or using wire which is great.
The fishing here in Buzzards Bay has also started to get really good again for bigger bass. I had Dave Gale for his first real trip of the season yesterday in the rain and the bass fishing was amazing. We worked hard to find some bigger fish but finally hit pay dirt with many of the fish hooked and landed being in the 15lb-30lb class. We we’re using big yak hair flys on an intermediate line which made for some great takes near the surface and helped us target the bigger fish in the group. Many of the bass following Dave’s fly to the boat on some of the drifts could have easily pushed 50″ and hey they didn’t get that big for nothing so getting them to commit to a fly or lure is very tough but if anyone will figure it out it will be Dave for sure. Well, the spring fishing is in full swing and if the weather holds and the reports of many huge bass south of us in Jersey and Long Island start moving this way it could make for another great few weeks of fishing here. O yeah and one quick side note….The tuna have arrived. I’m very busy with bass trips right thru June that getting out to chase them anytime soon may be tough but I’m starting to take some bookings now for tuna fishing off Cape Cod starting in July so if your thinking about it now’s the time to book these trips.
