While there are still guys out there catching a few fish, many of us have called it a season. Figured it was time to take a look back. Many species had banner years out there; the stripers in Narragansett Bay in May and June, bluefins around Cape Cod, and a simply ridiculous run of albies and bonito off Rhode Island. Hopefully everyone got out there and took advantage of what took place this year, it could be a benchmark for some time to come.

Looking for the first schoolies:

And now the albies.

Nobody had ever seen anything like it before in RI, they were literally everywhere



More (small?) bluefins





Getting colder, but the albies were still here

Happy Holidays to all, and think spring!
