big bull bass caught on ri charter boat old salt

 

All up and down the east coast the government has taken the Big Bass away from us, all Big Bass this year are catch and release, you are only allowed to keep one small fish per man under 31 inches which is about 10 pounds.

New for 2022/23 Fall Blackfish still 5 fish per man but the largest fish per man can only be 21 inches. The remaining 4 fish have to be under 21 inches. So the days of meat fishing is drawing to a close.

Now if you can handle this new change

LET'S GO FISHIN.

bass caught on ri old salt

07/07/22 Today was the annual Pat Hobin / Billy the Cop live bait tournament for the largest catch and release Big Bull and Cow bass. Today a 30 year record was broken that neither Pat nor Billy the Cop won it but the new champion is Jeff the Cop winning 1st 2nd 3rd biggest bass taking all 3 with a clean sweep.

07/03/22 Due to a high demand to fish using live bait we are taking select experience fishermen. 99.85% of the Striped Bass you will catch have to be released because they are too big, today we had them up to 50 pounds call for details.

6/18/22 Block Island at this time is playing host to a good amount of slot stripe bass and the sea bass is now open and getting better every day with fluke in the mix. Let's Go Fishin!

LIFE IS GOOD!
