Yes!!! the stripers are back. Great pics.
RI Dept of Environmental Management has stocked the ponds with trout. It is nice to bend the rod again and catch some fish. It has been a long 4 months. Something to do until the stripers show up. Tight lines all
From shore. From Narragansett beach up towards camp Cronin.
Nice haul. Great eating fish.
Been on good size blues and stripers for the past 3 weeks. Rain and big surfs are holding some good fish in Narragansett. Caught nice 31” blue and 38” striper. Good amount of under slot and a few slot stripers. Good release on all the stripers. Tight lines everyone.
Anybody catching stripers in RI? Got a few schoolies but tough to come by. The blues were hot for a while last week.
Bites been good on the west bay side for the past few days with the wind. Saw guys catching gator blues and a few guys keeping over slot stripers ~36-37”.
Great job with the keeper. Heard guys were catching some pretty big blues too last week.
FYI
Just learned from the local fishing club that the the RI striper slot size has been adjusted to 28”-31”. Good luck and tight lines
The stripers are back!!! It’s been a long winter and the stripers age finally back. Caught my first striper of the season on 4/18/23 and 5 slots stripers on 4/27/23 from 29.5” to 36”. Bait fish are all over the place from Narragansett to Providence. Hoping for a great spring run. Tight lines everyone.
Great to hear that someone is honoring their warranty (above and beyond). Will definitely take a look at Fenwick rods.
Wonderful and welcomed news. Still catching stragglers here and there in Narragansett. Heading out again tomorrow. Might have to expand to Newport
Nice fish. Here in RI it’s 28-35” and we don’t have a bonus tag option. They should keep it standard all along the east coast. These fish do migrate. Stay safe in the kayak and fish as long as u can. It’s a long cold winter on the east coast with only fishing memories to
keep us warm.
Braved the cold weather this past weekend and caught a few stragglers. Hands were frozen but was worth it. 30” and put up a good fight. Caught on a teaser and SP minnow rig. Bait was small
