NEWPORT RHODE ISLAND FISHING REPORT ANNUAL BLACKFISH FESTIVAL BEGINS
THE WATER TEMPERATURE HIT THE MAGIC NUMBER OF 56 DEGREES ON FRI THE 16TH. IT IS AT THIS TEMPERATURE THAT BLACKFISH BEGIN THEIR ANNUAL MIGRATION OFFSHORE WHERE THEY WILL WINTER OVER. ON THE WAY, THEY WILL FORM LARGE SCHOOLS AND FEED VORACIOUSLY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER.THIS TEMPERATURE DROP MARKS THE AVENT OF THE ANNUAL BLACKFISH-BLITZ. OLD TIMERS CALLED IT THE “BLACKFISH FESTIVAL”.TAUTOG ANGLERS WAIT ALL SEASON IN ANTICIPATION FOR THIS FEEDING FRENZY TO BEGIN. WELL,IT HAS BEGUN. THE “TAUTOGERS” APPEARED IN FORCE AT THE REEFS AND WRECKS. ON TUESDAY, THERE WERE A DOZEN OF BOATS ANCHORED AT THE HUMPS NEAR R-2 BOUY, A FAVORATE HAUNT OF FEEDING BLACKFISH. LAST WEEKEND, SHORE ANGLERS FILLED THE PARKING AREAS AT BEAVERTAIL LIGHTHOUSE AS WELL AS SACHUEST WILDLIFE REFUGE TO TAKE PART IN THIS EVENT. MANY LOCAL ANGLERS PLAN THEIR ANNUAL VACATION AROUND THIS DATE. SO ANGLERS, CHANGE THE LINE ON YOUR REELS AND BREAK OUT THE STIFFEST ROD YOU OWN AND JOIN IN “BLACKFISH FESTIVAL”FOR “WHITE CHINNERS” AWAIT YOU.
LAST THURSDAY SOME OF THE CLAN ASSEMBLED AT THE DOCK FOR THE ANNUAL BLACKFISH FESTIVAL CELEBRATION. MY SON, JED FLAHERTY, HIS DAUGHTER ALEXIS AND HER MOM JANET AND FRIEND ROBYN WERE EAGER TO DEPART. GRAMMY DI WAVED US OFF FROM OUR DOCK AS WE HEADED SEAWARD WITH WEATHER CONDITIONS PERFECT FOR THE OCCASION. LOADED DOWN WITH GALLONS OF GREEN CRABS FOR BAIT THIS AUGUST CREW HEADED TO OUR FAVORITE BLACKFISH HOLE. AS WE NEARED OUR SPOT, MUCH TO OUR DISMAY, OUR BLACKFISH HOLE WAS OCCUPIED. WE MOVED TO ANOTHER HOLE AND DROPPED ANCHOR. THERE,WE HAD NO LUCK.THEN QUITE UNEXPECTEDLY THE SPOT WAS VACATED. WE DID NOT DELAY AND MOVED INTO OUR SPOT AND DROPPED ACHOR. AS SOON AS JED SET THE ANCHOR, ALEXIS DROPPED HER CRAB TO THE BOTTOM. IN SECONDS, HER ROD TIP MADE A SUDDEN DIP AND SHE SWIFTLY LIFTED THE TIP TO SET THE HOOK. HER ROD TIP WAS NOW INTO THE WATER AS SHE BEGAN HER STRUGGLE TO LIFT THE BLACKFISH OFF THE BOTTOM. AT TEN YEARS OLD, ALEXIS IS ALREADY AN ACCOMPLISHED ANGLER SHOWING MORE SKILLS THAN MOST ADULT ANGLERS I KNOW.AFTER FIVE MINUTES, ALEXIS WAS REWARDED WITH AN 8 POUND WHITECHIN WHICH JED QUICKLY NETTED. JANET’S ROD WAS NEXT. WITH A YELP FROM JANET HER BATTLE BEGAN. SOON ATER, JED HAD HOOKED UP AS WELL AS ROBYN. THE FRENZY HAD BEGUN. THE BITE CONTINUED FOR OVER TWO HOURS AS JED AND I SKURRIED AROUNG THE BOAT BAITING HOOKS AND DEPOSITING BLACKFISH IN THE FISHBOX.WITH OUR LIMIT SOON REACHED WE HEADED BACK TO THE DOCK.ALEXIS WAS AGAIN THE HIGHLINER FOR THE DAY WITH OVER 10 BLACKFISH INCLUDING THREE “WHITECHINS” WEIGHING IN AT OVER EIGHT POUNDS EACH. WE THEN HEADED TO EASTON’S POINT RESTAURANT WHERE GOOD FRIEND AND CHEF KEN LACEY PROMISED TO COOK OUR CATCH. HE PREPARED A SUMPTUOUS FEAST FOR OUR CREW INCLUDING PANKO.COCONUT ENCRUSTED BLACKFISH WITH FRESH COLD SLAW AND FINE BROWN SPICED RICE AND CLAMS CASINO.THANKS FOR THAT KEN.
BASS FISHING AT SOUHWEST LEDGE CONTINUES TO BE HOT. ON TUESDAY, STEVE STANDISH AND FRIEND RANDY HAD A FINE TIME DRIFTING EELS. THEIR EFFORTS WERE REWARDED WITH THREE BASS IN THE THIRTIES. LATER, A FORTY POUNDER WAS LOST AT THE SIDE OF THE BOAT BECAUSE THE OPENING OF THE NET WAS TOO SMALL; BLAME THE CAPTAIN. ON WEDNESDAY, ROCKY FROM FRANKLIN SPA AND A FRIEND CAME HOME WITH BASS OVER FORTY INCHES. GREAT JOB, LADS. CAPT. TIM FLAHERTY FLAHERTYCHARTERS.COM 401 848 5554
