A Tough Shore Fishing Bite In Rhode Island

It's been a slow surfcasting year for striped bass for me here in RI, but here's a few sessions where I was able to find some stripers. Hoping the fall run will change my fortunes. Chunking bunker at night, and throwing plugs into rough water has yielded me the most success so far this season.

Gear I Use:

LOVE this vid brother, I'm 57 now and don't chunk fish like I did when I was younger. I used to drift live herring in the canal back in the day and used to surf chunk my dead ones in the spring in Westport, MA. As the season progressed it was chunk pogie and mackerel the same way you do. Nothing sounded SWEETER than my Shimano Baitrunner SCREAMIN' in the rod holder. Many COW Stripers and MONSTER blues credited to chunkin'. Keep doing what you do, it's AWESOME. Thank you for posting vids like this. It TRULY brings me back to my youthful years, I'm just glad to see youthful anglers such as yourself fishing the OLD SCHOOL WAYS!!! KUDOS MY BROTHER!!!

I was out yesterday launched out of Independence Park and nada! Took home some good sized scup for dinner but no stripers for me.

When I saw the title of this video, I thought this might be the first one I could watch and not be jealous. But you proved me wrong again. No sympathies from me brother. Just kidding I look forward to your videos. Keep them coming

Surf has been rough for me too down in New Haven, Ct. Spring was hot then it just died off, guys are getting 40” just off shore. I think the water temps rised too fast too soon and the fish pushed into deeper water

I striper fish in Rhode Island, all summer/spring I’ve had 2 stripers, both tiny tiny. I’m throwing everything at them, can’t seem to figure them out. High tide too

I’ve had an abysmal shore fishing season so far
