 SWE Fishing Report 10.26.07 As a good friend of mine says “Fall is promised to no one”. I completely agree. The later it gets, the more you have to want it. Ignoring the cold and fighting on to find a few more quality bass isn’t for everyone, but it can certainly be rewarding.  The Canal is still producing large and has been for weeks although a big slug of small schoolies has joined the fray. While the fish could of course go out to sea along the Elizabeth Islands it’s a good bet somewhere along the Rhode Island coast determined anglers will find and catch some of these nice fish. Many thirty pound fish and several forties were taken as this school has moved along. These next couple of weeks are realistically the last stretch of fishing if catching truly big fish is your goal. While there are always the stories of big fish caught in late November and early December, and some are even true, those are not common fish. But they are possible, so never discount them entirely. It just depends on how determined you are to catch in the very latest parts of the season. Block Island is a classic November spot and many surf anglers will be making the trek to this storied late season fishing spot in the next few weeks. Locally around Newport, the past week has been fairly quiet, although mornings and evenings often feature bluefish and schoolie bass blitzing some spots. Larger fish have been tough to come by, but this might change if the schools to the East of us hug the coastline. For those looking for school sized bass and blues, beaches all along Rhode Island are often producing both morning and evening. This is basically parking lot fishing. Pull up, take a look around for bait and birds, and if no one is home move on. This isn’t a big fish strategy, but if you’re mainly looking for a tight line you can usually find some action somewhere during the late season by covering some ground. Have Pencil Poppers and tins such as Point Jude Lures or Crippled Herrings ready to go. Look for the coming weeks to feature some big bluefish blitzes, schoolie blitzes, and if you’re in the right spot at the right time maybe some bass blitzes with quality fish. Nocturnal anglers will definitely pull a few more big fish from the waters along the coast. Narragansett Bay is loaded with 4” bunker; blues will continue to harass this bumper crop of bait, and hopefully it will exit the Bay and be discovered by some large stripers. Catching quality fish deep into the fall is a choice. If you want it, they are out there waiting.  © Copyright 2007 The Saltwater Edge. All Rights Reserved.

| thanksgiving fish If you have a boat, I would go out of Shark river or Manasquan river. Start North of there at the Atlantic highlands and work your way south. If you are fishing from the beach, the jetties in Deal are a good bet. The most productive way is to cruise the beaches and look for birds. I think the season is going to be late this year, so I will be working the Northern Jersey area, and working my way South thru Avalon. Tight lines! |

| Man oh man, it's still going to be a few weeks before any nice fish show in the Atlantic City area. I have a charter scheduled for the day before Thanksgiving out of Oregon Inlet, NC, and I'm thinking that we're going to have to find some other fish to concentrate on, because the bass certainly won't be there. |
