Captain Keith from the Fin Chaser reported excellent bottom fishing around the Block Island grounds despite some less-than-ideal weather conditions. On Friday, October 30, anglers stuck it out through the nautical conditions and were rewarded with limits of jumbo sea bass and plenty of quality porgies. Walter Hynson earned top honors for the day with an impressive jumbo sea bass. The action continued into Saturday, October 31, when another group of anglers worked through rough conditions to put together limits of jumbo sea bass and a strong catch of large porgies. Bonnie McGuire stole the spotlight on Saturday, landing a super-sized sea bass that earned her the day's bragging rights. Captain Keith noted that the fish have been cooperating well, and the Block Island grounds continue to offer some excellent opportunities for anglers looking to fill the cooler with quality bottom fish.

Captain Keith from the Fin Chaser reported outstanding bottom fishing on the Block Island grounds over the weekend. On Saturday, October 24, the boat returned to the fishing grounds following the recent stretch of rough weather and found the sea bass and porgies hungry and cooperative. The action was nearly nonstop, with anglers putting together limits of jumbo sea bass and plenty of quality porgies. Sunday's trip on October 25 was equally productive, with another round of sea bass limits and large porgies coming over the rails. The crew also encountered their first showing of green bonito, while several cod weighing up to 15 pounds were caught and released. Thomas Lenna took top honors for the day with his impressive sea bass catch. With the fishing remaining strong, Captain Keith is looking forward to more productive trips as the fall season continues.
