The fish have had the opportunity to pick and choose, as there is a lot of bait in the water. The school that was moving north last week seems to be around and are believed to be closer to shore. Fishing from shore has been difficult for the past week. Block Island and the Montuck Rips are hot. Anglers continue to have luck using bucktails on wire line sweetened with Mario's squid strips and umbrella rigs . . .
Blues remain scarce with some near the Watch Hill reefs and on the south side of Block Island . . .
Fluke fishing is as good as it gets presently with fish coming in up to nine pounds, and the most successful bait being jig and squid combinations . . . The sharking scene has been slowed. There are still some macos, a few blues south and southeast of Block Island. The tuna season is on the verge of breaking open with very good numbers taken roughly 60 miles offshore. There was a 90-pound yellow fin caught this week.
