Any Action from the fairway buoy area?
Anything going on in this area lately? I'll be in Newport for the weekend and looking to give it a try, but don't want to go for a boat ride... if you know what mean! Any help is appreciated!

My log book tells me it was hot this time last year. Was out last Monday and it was loaded with HUGE blues
 They do a great job of chewing up the bars  Good luck, post up how you do....... |

The most recent reports I have heard was very few fish anywhere around BI. This was a few days ago. A lot could have changed since then. If it is going to happen, it ought to be soon. Planning on going this weekend, may end up doing a bottom trip if reports are still the same.
Good Luck, VC |

Just read a report From Snug Harbor that better numbers of Bluefin have been showing just south of BI. If these are the same size fish we had a few weeks ago, about 25-30lbs. was the norm.

We were out last week and there were some BIG marks on the FF in the schools of blues & bait. I would have to guess that there are some big fish out there somewhere........

Thanks
Keep the reports coming! Hopefully someone will give good news for this area before the weekend! I'm still looking at Sunday and Monday.
Tight lines! Kevin |

Did a short unplanned troll Wed. afternoon with the wife. Was supposed to be a beach day by boat.
 Couple miles south of the island came across a few pods of Bluefin. Trolled a small spread for a couple hours basically fishing solo while wifey is reading a book, no takers. Dropped a jig for a while for the same. Marked plenty of fish as well but didn't hook up. Frustrating when you can see them up and down but no bites.  TD 553/856 roughly. Will be back out there Sunday/Monday. |

Tons of sand eels there. Bass we caught last w/e were all spitting up sand eels. Same with the bft a few weeks ago.
Was hoping the draggers would set in at the Mudhole by now and concentrate things a little |
