New England - New England Surf Fishing Reports

Bonito are far less likely to be caught in Connecticut waters at this time, but if you really want to try, I’d stick with Avery Point for now. Bass fishers are going to have their best success in the western sound where chunking has been producing some solid fish on night tides.

The best spot to hunt an early bonito from the Rhode Island shoreline is definitely the West Wall, but the breachway jetties also provide a great platform for summer success. Striper fishing has been tough in Rhody by most surfcaster accounts this week, fish deep, fish dark and think irresistible: deep rips with live eels is going to be your best bet.

For those looking for bones, I’d consider some place like Nobska Point or heading over to the Vineyard to fish Menemsha or one of the other prominent hotspots there. If you want stripers I’d fish the Canal this week, and I’d keep a light rod rigged and ready, because the bones have been there too.
