Dave at Ocean State Tackle in Providence reported that the water temperatures and oxygen levels are better in the Upper Bay and in the rivers, and that has started to bode well for striped bass fishing. A fresh push of pogies have made their way into the rivers, and there should be a good slug of striped bass right behind them. Anglers are also still finding plenty of quality bass out in front of Newport, and along South County. Bottom fishermen are reporting a few nice fluke catches before they move out, and sea bass and scup fishing is consistent, while tautog reports continue to improve each week. Mixed sizes of tuna can be found in good numbers to the east and west of Block Island. Most of the usual haunts are holding fish, but for the best action try to avoid the fleets. The heavy traffic at spots like The Gully this week have greatly hampered the action.

Bonito fishing hits a slight lull while fishing improves for stripers and blues, sea bass transition to deeper water, and bluefin are taken on jigs and on the troll.

Good Morning
I want to thank all my friends for the birthday greetings. I have friends from Bishop Hendricken and from my teenage years. My business has introduced me to so many people over the last few decades. Being part of the urban tribe in Providence connects me with a lot of people. My travels have also created some close friendships.
I must say my world has only expanded as I grew older. To feel supported and welcomed by so many people is humbling and amazing.

Sincere thanks to all and have a safe and happy New Year

Namaste
