The Spot, RI Fishing Report

Opening Day RI

So I rushed like a psycho to get my RI license before Benny's closed Friday night. There were 3 people in line!

We started out on the water at 4:30am with a buddy of mine in his canoe (Dan) and my other friend (Carl) with his Jon Boat. I was in the Jon Boat and we were just so souped to be fishing again. It was about 39 degrees. They usually stock pretty decent sized rainbows (always rainbows for some reason). We didn't they were going to bite very well because around 5:30am there were very few jumps and fish going to the top of the water. BOY , we were WRONG. Immediately, Carl who was in the boat with me caught the first one exactly when fishing started at 6am. It brought a good amount of attention to us from boats and shoreline anglers. I was hoping I would get one soon too. Dan started killing it with the Fly Rod (wish I had one) Like 10 minutes later I landed the largest of the 8 trout I caught which looked about 1.5 pounds. The other seven were about 1 pounds each. Carl however got 21 (TWENTY ONE) trout in the 2 and a half hours in which we fished. People actually got pissed at us and we heard comments like "Just go home!", "Are you kidding me" and "Another one" because of Carl catching so many. We had a good time and I was glad the winter was over because I am a fair weather fisherman. Hope you enjoyed the trip!
