The year in review in photos

[Pete_G]

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!

SWE Thanks for such a great season, and for all of the posting on this website. I was driving around to on ocean drive, and was amazed to see the birds boiling once again. It seems there is always something out there to catch, but it is to cold for my blood. Thanks again

Great job on the site reports this year. Always look forward to them each month.

Fish are blitzing within casting distance right now (Sunday, Nov. 25th, 3:15pm) off Newport. Probably they'll be gone tomorrow, but it shows you never know...

Great job guys, the photos you take definitely make this the best report on the web. I always look forward to it. Having them set up in a year in review format makes you realize how short the season really is, schoolies-pogies-big fish-albies-big fish-done. Although I can't complain, I'm in the third year of the "Never Ending Season".
