RI Report: Teen-Sized Bass In Upper Bay Bunker
One theme among a great many of my sources, New York to Maine, is their insistence that while the striper fishing really hasnât come together in their respective territories, the "table is set."May 23rd, 2014
Weekly RI Fishing Report: 5/16/2014
It's mid-May, weâre fishing down the moon after a tumultuous week of smoking tides, silt, seaweed almost thick enough to constitute a sunken lawn, and the immediate climate of fishing opportunity is safely on the âyawnâ side of the lights-out-explosion-action-blitz-bonanza threshold.May 16th, 2014
Tackling Ten: 7 Tricks for Super-size Summer Flounder
The fact is, many would-be fluke fanatics fail to engage with that undertaking because itâs hard-wired in their minds that fluking is something you do only during lulls in the striper or tuna fishing. They make long drifts, content to pick through endless shorts, fish sloppy baits they never check, lose focus early and oftenâin short, fail to give the quest the time or energy it warrants. The following points are meant to be a quick crash course in targeting plus-size slabsâsomething you ought to try before you dismiss it as lesser sport.May 1st, 2014
Ocean State Blue Crab
Although many foodies and fishermen think blue crabs are synonymous with the Chesapeake Bay, Rhody anglers know the tasty crustacean is common to our waters. Starting with the first full moon in May, adult blue crabs start crawling out of their winter mud holes to molt--making them prime prey for birds and fish--as well as the crabbers who scoop them up for sale to restaurants where they are served fried, sauced and eaten whole as soft-shelled crabs.May 1st, 2014
Tautog Experts Share Tips
Tautog fishing is fun. I like to relax with friends and family, shoot the breeze and enjoy a great Rhode Island fishery all at the same time. Tautog (or Blackfish) is a great eating fish with a dense whitish meat. May 1st, 2014
Fish Focus: Fluke Futures Hang in the Balance
I realize it's May according to the issue date on the cover of this magazine, and that if I had even a small shred of decency left in my shriveled editorial heart, Iâd use the allotted space here to rejoice in all the wonders of the month that marks the beginning (in earnest) of the new season in salty waters. The weather is nice, Iâm thrilled weâve finally shaken off that interminable winter, and the fishing should get lights-out good for at least a species or two by late-month. But unfortunately, I squandered the last of my decency on Girl Scout cookies, and all I have left for the foreseeable future is a keyboard full of misery and pessimism and doubt.May 1st, 2014

Sea to Table: Sauteed Scallops
We may be nearing the end of our Long Island wild scallop season, so be sure to take advantage now before the weather gets too warm! North Atlantic sea scallops can be fished commercially by trawling or dredging year-round, but the gold standard on many menus these days are âdiver scallopsâ--hand picked by deep divers or harvested by scallop fishermen near sea grass in the shallower waters of bays and estuaries. Also called bay scallops, these scallops are smaller and generally sweeter than the meatier sea scallop, but then again, the larger sea scallops make great entrees, especially seared and quickly caramelized like a steak.Apr 1st, 2014
