Narragansett, RI Fishing Report 05.09.12

May 6, 2012 - SUNDAY We had a good morning on the water bottom fishing for Flounder off the beach - some really good bites, but water temperature still needs to come up a little bit more.

The Narrows Fishing Report 03.20.12

March 20, 2012 After a long winter, we can't wait to get back on the water and load the cockpit with some Stripers and Blues. But seasoned fishermen know that the water temperature has to cooperate in order to be able to do that. Earlier this week the bay was hovering around 45 degrees - so if the Spring weather conditions continue to rise, it won't be long before we're at that magic 50 degree water temperature - and the Stripers are running. We are also taking reservations...
