The good news is that there are still stripers and bluefish along the RI south shore. The bad news is that there are a lot less of them compared to a week ago. But, hey, it's Dec. 4 and normally things are over by now.I got out today and fished all afternoon along the south shore. I ended up landing 2 schoolies and 1 bluefish on Cocahoes (see pics). It was a strange afternoon in which there were spurts of fish along the beach, but never lots of fish. For instance, in about a half hour stretch, I saw about 10 blues landed and then no more bluefish for the rest of the day. Same deal with stripers. At one point six fish were landed in a ten minute period, then nothing. Clearly there were small pods of fish moving along, but there were no big numbers. So, our fantastic fall fishing is winding down, but there are still a few fish to be had if you want to put in the time. Hey, it's Dec. 4. I have no complaints.
