Jeff Sullivan

Last week Jeff Sullivan in Bristol shore-fished Upper Melville Pond in Portsmouth and caught a number of rainbow trout including a trophy 26-incher on a Spybait early in the morning. He also hit Carbuncle Pond in Coventry for largemouth bass to 5 pounds, also on a Spybait, but in the afternoon. Jeff let us know that autumn trout stocking in Rhode Island ended October 8. Winter stocking should begin in December or January.
