Rhode Island 2023

[folkcafe]

We went again last Thursday night and managed a dozen.  People were catching scup before it got dark but it became dogfish city after dark.  Noticed a return of bait fish vs small Blues up at the surface with the light shining.  Weather looks good for the next few days.  Thinking about Thursday night again but low tide is just after 10.  Rather the bottom of the tide than the top at null but was hoping to fish till about 11 to get home at a reasonable time.  I got a two hour drive.

 

Been squid fishing all summer, so I get it.  It's just the return of the Bluefish along with Albies and next will be Stripers.  I threw a few plugs and nothing stirred up.  One way to know if no one else is.

 

All the squid groups have been really quiet.  RI FB group hasn't had a post in 5 weeks or so.  Pretty quiet here too.  In the past, it would get quiet here during the peaks but as soon as it slowed down, people got chatty.

 

For us, catch anything or not, it is a beautiful night out on the water.  Hate the drive though.
