FISH REPORT - Sept 19, 2018
INSHORE
Stripers
Striper Fishing seems best from the shore the past couple of weeks, a few stretches of good fishing on the SW Ledge have occasional. Live eels during the night or parachutes on wire during the day. Narragansett, Pt Judith, Matunuck, Green Hill and the Breachways all having decent schoolie to keeper size fish quite regularly.
Seabass
Weather causing seabass to move farther offshore, still decent sized fish at Wind Mills and East Grounds but quite a few smaller ones in the mix. Jigging working well. Anglers fishing the Mountains seem to have the largest fish. Unfortunately not many cod in the mix.
Tautog
South Shore taugin was picking up in 30ft water off Charlestown. Should be getting better around Pt Judith and Scarborough, cooler water temps will only help.
Bonita
Fishing alittle inconsistent on the bonita front, mostly boat anglers finding schools on the surface with pretty good luck. Some also moved in recently with lice so this is promising. Try trolling deep off Charlestown for Greenies.
Fluke
Occasional fluke landings from East Grounds but much more difficult to target.
OFFSHORE
Shark
Not many recent shark reports due to weather, however there were may makos Mud Hole and Coxes, heard of a hammer head too.
TUNA
Unfortunately no tuna reports with the weather.
Canyons - no reports
