Newport, Ri - 2008 Squid Season

[busterblue]

Uptech, The fish are moving thru and into Buzzards bay now. Folks have been getting keepers in Ri for a couple weeks now. Some of them will have moved thru the canal and be moving up thru Cape cod bay and northward. During the migration they move about 15 miles a day with the tide, so if you go to a place that has alot of current and you set up outside of the heaviest flow and down current of it you will often find stripers waiting for the tide to turn so they can swim with it. ANother method is to set up in an area of heavy current and fish the slack thru the northbound current. The point is, stripers will move with the current or the slack and seldom against the curent so if they come up upon an area of heavy current they will wait for it to turn before proceeding.



So, watch the reports for fish that are 15 miles South of your desired spot and go to your spot the next day in time for the slack tide and fish thru the northbound change.



good luck, tight lines. Oh yeah, Storm wildeye shads direct tied were the lure of the day.
