Fishing Report: Aug 15, 2010

Block Island has seen it's share of turbulent weather in the past few weeks. With Northerly and Easterly breezes putting a thorn into the side of a so far stellar season, it just reminds me of how excellent the weather has been up to this point. Well, I tell everyone I know that when it comes to fishing I believe it is quality over quantity every time. Thankfully the fish we are seeing have been quite large but just not the numbers that the fair weather summer southerlies bring. Bonito and even Skipjack tuna have made some appearances around the rock. They are there one day and gone the next. That's the hardtail way. I want to remind everyone that beginning in mid September I will be doing runs over to Montauk far the fall run. Albies, Bass and Blues will be hammering Bay Anchovies and Peanut Bunker on their way down south so don't miss out.
