Waiting for the wind and swell to become more manageable I’ve been fishing some of my springtime spots up inside the Narragansett Bay. These include little inlets and rivers between tidal estuaries and bays. The peanuts are amassing in numbers I don’t think I’ve ever seen before and are not remaining unmolested either. There are more than blues pushing them around (contrary to popular belief) and all day but mostly dusk till dawn there are school bass up to 12lbs (maybe even bigger) pushing them around, popping on them, and hiding in holes in channels waiting for a meal to swim there way. I’ve had luck with soft plastics with different weight heads drifted and bounced sloooooowly as well as with small
redfins twitched and drifted along the top.
The swell has softened a little today out front, but not much, so if your looking for something to do before the heading out there again try some of the little cuts an channels that litter the upper bay. And when these peanuts drop out in large numbers starting by the next moon you can be sure that complete mayhem will ensue at the mouth of the bay and all points east and west!
