Rhode Island Fishing Report – January 7, 2021
With steady weather for the next few days, there are opportunities for trout, holdover stripers, and bottom fish on the party boats.
Cory, of the
Frances Fleet in Point Judith, says the boat has not been fishing recently due to the weather conditions, but the next few days are promising. In late December, anglers on their party boat were catching a mixed bag of bottom fish, with cod to 15-pounds, 4-pound black sea bass, porgies, ling, and weakfish. Clams and diamond jigs were working best when the weather cooperated. Visit the Frances Fleet website to book a trip.
Connecticut Fishing Report – January 7, 2021
Trout, panfish, and tidal holdover stripers to 40-inches continue to keep anglers busy during the winter months.
Ted, at
Three Belles Outfitters in Niantic, says anglers are finding holdover stripers in some of the holes around the Connecticut River. There have been some reports further up river of crappie, yellow perch, and white perch. Ted says the action north has been in the coves around the Hartford area. Blade baits and hair jigs are working well. He has not heard of any ice fishing reports.
Rich, at
Fisherman’s World in Norwalk, says some of the local anglers are catching Atlantic Herring in the harbors on Sabiki rigs. He anticipates the action will be picking up, as the fishing is not in full swing yet. Most anglers are sticking to the tidal river winter striper holdover fishery. Rich says there have been fish into the 40-inch range because the weather has been on the milder side, making the bass more active. Albie Snax
