Fish Spreading Out, Getting Bigger

I am now getting reports from all over the Bay and oceanfront about stripers being caught from Westerly to Providence. I have also been testing the waters in both the Bay and the oceanfront. From my own observations, there seem to be less fish, but the average fish is much bigger. There are also good numbers of small keepers around, fish from 28-30 inches. I was out yesterday and landed 7 fish, one of which was a keeper. With the warm weather coming over the next week I suspect we will see increasing numbers of keeper bass as well as the first bluefish.
