Keepers Now Hitting
Yes, the fish are getting larger. I landed my first keeper of May today (sorry, no picture) while fishing a mid day dropping tide in Narragansett Bay. The fish went just 28 inches. I had many other nice fish also in the 20-27 inch range. Got them all on Zoom flukes mounted onto jigheads. I'm getting reports of small keepers in the 28-30 inch range being landed throughout the Bay as May fishing is heating up. Strangely, there are also occasional decent sized bluefish in the mix.
