May 2009 Fishing Report
May 2009 fishing reports are here and you view more 2009 fishing pictures in the Gallery. With the water warming up and squid in the bay we will see the fishing picking up. May is the time of year when a charter captain with local knowledge will find fish while someone with limited knowledge of the are go home without any action.
Give me a call 401-253-2924 or 401-559-2893 if you want to go out on a early morning charter trip.
I have a few openings on the "fish before work" trips.
Thank you,
Capt Billy Silvia

Capt. Bill took the big man and his crew of bass killers fishing today at the Mudflats where we landed a dozen nice bass. It got a little slow and finally, we saw the sun. It was a good and bright day.
May 29, 2009
Today Captian Bill took Wind Evans and his 2 children Sam and Mary fishing for striped bass where Mary landed a 34 pounder, her biggest fish yet and Wind landed a 38 pounder. Sam also landed some nice bass too. Too bad Wind didn't enter the Striper Marina Fishing Tournament because they probably would have fared well. With May closing we see larger Stripers in Narragansett Bay and June will be hot this year.
