The Providence and the Seekonk Rivers are still holding a good amount of bait and fish - even with water temps in the rivers pushing 70 degrees. The Striped Bass fishing has been pretty good of late if you cover some ground and work the tides.
This weeks fishing consisted mostly within the Providence River - since the majority of the Menhaden have let the safer confines of the old Apex/ Pawtucket area, and headed for cooler deeper waters in the Providence River Channels and Lower Narragansett Bay.
Still plenty of bait at Fields Point with not many keeper stripers around the bait school. I tried all my Prov. river hot spots, with no hook-ups. I ran into the Seekonk river and tried the Henderson and Old Red Bridge with no fish. I made the run to Pawtucket where I was rewarded with a double hook-up and four fish for the day - all were released unharmed to fight again.
Go figure, water tempos are on the rise and the fish were up in Pawtucket. With summer upon us and the warmer temps around, look for the fish to start moving into other parts of Narragansett Bay.
This year is not panning out to be as good as past years and there seems to be less boats around the inshore river systems. Maybe more guys are heading to Prudence Island, Bristol, or the Ocean. There were a few boats out today and I would like to hear how your day on the water went?
