Rhode Island was the destination this past weekend. Saturday we worked the waters from Pt. Jude - north to the mouth of the Narrow River. Finding the waters somewhat vacant we managed to find a cloud of Anchovy's. The Anchovy's were being attacked by small blues and there were some Green Bonita mixed in. As soon as our spoons hit the water we were hooked up to a blue and unfortunately we never caught a Bonita. Never finding any Stripers we shot across to Block. Working the eastern edge, we managed to catch 4 Stripers to 32 #. Sunday was a wash out, canceling that trip to a later date. Monday we headed back out to the Block, or at least that is where we thought we were going. Only to find whitewater coming over the center wall. We decided to pull the boat and head for some calmer waters in Cape Cod Bay. Heading out the east end of the Canal we saw School Tuna breaking, trying to intercept them for a half hour we were frustrated. Over to Scorton Ledge we motored for some Tube and worm action. Our first pass we landed a 20 # fish, followed up by a small Blue. For the next hour we searched the area and came up with nothing. We headed over to Sandy neck for some more tube and worm action. Landing several shorts and a couple of Blues, one of our lines took off. After 10 minute battle for a 16yr old he boated a 43.5 # Striper. A short time later the same rod took off, now it was a experienced angler's turn on a large Bass. The fish took out 350' of line on the initial run, and did the same 3 more times until he decided to charge the boat. Unfortunately the line went slack and the fish was lost. Never seeing the fish, we could only imagine it was the LARGEST Striper we had hooked all season.

Had 4 triathlonist out on Sept 12 for a good morning on Scorton. The group from Western Mass compeated in a small triathlon in Centerville in the morning,and headed to Sandwich for a afternoon trip. I had fished the ledge in the morning for a limit of Bass in the 12-18# range. On the incoming tide we found that bigger bass followed. Most of their Stripers were in the 15- 29# catagory. One cool thing that we saw happen was a 10 # blue come flying out of the water with a giant tuna in persuit. Immediatly following were 60-100 # tuna busting everywhere. We pulled in our tube and worm setups and persued. Unfortunatly we never caught up to them., and chased them around the bay for a hour and a half. Headed out tunain tommorow and then to RI for 3 trips. Just a few more weeks till huntin season ! Best fishin is to come. <'////><

Scorton Ledge was the destination we had headed for last Tues (Sept 1). Brett and his group limited out on Stripers (before 8:30AM), on the tube and worm. Most of the fish caught were in the 20-25# range. The party wanted to try to find some breaking fish to cast to, so our tactic had changed. Searching the bay, we could not find any breaking fish or working birds. Back to the ledge we headed for some more fun on the tube and worm. Thursday afternoon Dan, and a couple of his bud's wanted in on the action. The ledge was very different upon arrival, 3 dozen boats and the Lowrance screen was almost blank. We worked the area for a couple of hours, and caught dozens of bass on the 6-10# range, many of these fish we were "Doubled Up". Although we boated 3-15 # + bass, we lost several bigger fish. Cruising about 8 miles north, we went into the Tuna search mode. We chased several pods of breaking fish around, but unfortunately we never hooked up. The guys really enjoyed this stalking action, and commented it was like fishing and hunting combined. Lake Ontario was the last destination that I had returned from. Fishing was very slow this weekend, most of the Salmon were in 70-100' of water. Most fish caught were on or near the bottom, with Spin Doctors and flies. Green was our hottest color, followed by white glow and silver. I had taken a ride to the Salmon River on Sat afternoon (sept 5) and found that the run had begun. The concentration offish were in the estuary and some were in the upper fly zone. Back out this weekend - Hopefully in search of some more Tuna !
