Snug Harbor Marina

Elisa at Snug Harbor Marina said that fishing for tautog has been very good especially up in the bay where anglers are finding fish on structure in 20- to 50-feet of water. Tautog to around 11 pounds have been reported along with some nice sized black sea bass and scup. They have plenty of green crabs in stock along with everything else you need to get in on tautog fishing. Striped bass continue to move through the area and there have been reports of some nice fish out around Block and along the south county beaches. The bass are on the move this time of year, so it pays to stay mobile and not get tied to one spot. There were reports of some mackerel off of Charlestown during the week along with talk of some false albacore off of Narragansett.

Elisa at Snug Harbor Marina has been hearing reports of some very good tautog fishing locally and up around Newport and Jamestown. The bite has been getting better and should continue to improve over the next couple of weeks. Many limit catches have been reporting fish up to around 9 pounds. Tautog anglers are also reporting some keeper black sea bass and scup mixed in with the tautog. Fishing for striped bass along the beaches is still producing well and there have been some bluefish and green bonito around as well. Several boats were running out to the canyons or inshore grounds in search of tuna over the weekend but unfortunately none had reported back when we spoke. Hopefully more to report on the offshore scene next week!
