While heading to a job on an Ocean Drive property, I noticed a large number of gulls actively "working" the water just off the shore between Price's Neck and Kings Beach in Newport. Curious, because it's pretty unusual at this time of year, I drove out to the end of the parking area at King's Beach to get a closer look. The birds were slamming the water amid massive splashes over an area of about 100 yds. square.
Having cleaned and secured my gear for winter storage weeks ago, I could only look on and drool. I don't know if it was big bluefish or bass, but for sure they were big, and there were lots of them. An unusual, but welcome sight in December.

Mike, thinking Blue Fin Tuna
Wonderful and welcomed news. Still catching stragglers here and there in Narragansett. Heading out again tomorrow. Might have to expand to Newport
