It like the good ole days here in RI with some of the best October fishing for stripers and blues I have ever experienced. Let's call it a great ending for a dismal year. I have been into blitz after blitz of bass and blues for the last month with the daytime fishing for schoolies and even small keepers being excellent and nighttime fishing for big fish going real well. The rocky shoreline from Bonnet Shores all the way to Galilee has been very hot and is giving up the most fish. Less consistent fishing is being reported along the south shore where rough weather has taken its toll on the sandy beachfront. In the last four outings I have taken well over 100 stripers from schoolies of 24 inches to keepers of 38 inches.
