FISH REPORT - May 4
INSHORE
Stripers
Many schoolies to keeper fish in many of our South Shore ponds, Pt Judith, Potters, Ninigret, Quonnie along
with some great fishing on the South shore beaches from the West Wall to Watch Hill. Numbers vary
but overall pretty great reports from all anglers. Small bucktail with RonZ, soft plastics like
a cocohoe minnow have been popular items. Remember new regulations are slot 1 fish per person 28-<35".
Seabass & Cod
Mother nature preventing any cod reports, however last report was positive for cod and mackerel.
Black Seabas will open June 24 - Aug 31 with a 3 per person limit, 15".
Fluke
Begininng of May is the usual start date, so thinking any day now once water clears up a bit. East Wall is a great first spot, Carpenters also another. Squid moving in from the Island, so this is also a good sign.
Fluke just opened with a 19" minimum, 6 fish per person.
Tautog
Few reports of fish just biting on south shore Charlestown. Water as of Monday is dirty. Hoping the
few days of sun will give us a few degress on water temp. More boats were able to
splash this weekend so hoping to get more reports.
Tautog will close May 31, 3 fish person, 16". Aug 1 to Oct 14, 16" 3 per person.
Then 5 fish per person starting Oct 15 to Dec 31.
