Default The year in review in photos

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:





Dan Powell on the beaches

Jake "ChiefLinesider"



Skishing for schoolies. Water temp = 48 degrees

Springtime fog

Uncle Geoff

Captain Crunch

"that's not good for anybody..."

JD out on the water in early May

Dan Smith





Bob with a nice striper

Earl with a fly pole striper

June begins...









Moving into July





Tuna Trip of a lifetime (videos are in our Pictures and Videos Forum)





Early August, hot water. Baby Mako 3 miles off Newport







Record numbers of bonito invade Rhode Island

Karen with one of these tasty fish





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



One of Rob's many 30's



Rob about to go for a flume ride

Max with a racer that should have been 40 pounds





Earl with one of the last bigger fish


Happy Holidays to all, and think spring!

Default Thanks

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

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".
