Nasty Weather Lights up Fishing




It was cold, rainy, and snowy. Nasty weather, but ideal for fishing for winter striped bass in the Providence River. The fishing just lit up today with good sized fish that ran from about 20 inches up to a keeper fish of 32 inches. My son, Matt, and I landed over 20 fish this afternoon. Zoom flukes (what else!) fished on light tackle did the trick once again. The fish, too, were spread out in the river system from the city to the Point Street Bridge. It was the best fishing I have seen thusfar in the river.
