Bonito have arrived!

Reports from Block Island, Charlestown, Watch Hill and Madison (CT) all are saying bonito have arrived in the area. Best bet for these speedsters at the moment is Block Island in the Coast Guard Channel, though Plum Gut and The Sluiceway are generating good reports as well. Frequent sightings along the Watch Hill area suggest the fish have just arrived and should become more common through the weekend. No reports of Little Tunny anywhere in the region.

Dave at River & Rip Tide Angler in Coventry reports a bit of a slow down in the action on the Wood River over the past week, no doubt due to the intense heat we have been experiencing. Early or late in the day is best. Expect limited insect hatches so your focus should be on terrestrial patterns. Seek out the shaded, deeper pools.
