Rhode Island Fishing Report
Captain Frank, of
The Frances Fleet in Point Judith, reports that they were glad to finally get back out on the fluke grounds. They sailed with a nice group of anglers who weren’t worried about the rain, and they were able to manage some nice catches. It’s still a bit early and wasn’t a red-hot start, but they picked up a handful of nice keepers and a decent pile of shorts. They will continue to sail whenever the forecast cooperates.

The New Bedford Fire Department Is in Sad Shape [OPINION]
The New Bedford Fire Department s new quint apparatus is in the shop for unspecified reasons and is not ready to be pressed into service any time soon, according to New Bedford Firefighters IAFF Local 841 President Billy Sylvia. The $250,000 truck is supposed to replace Engine 8 when it is eventually taken out of service. The Mitchell Administration has delayed the mothballing of Engine 8 several times and has even asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency for a SAFER grant to keep the piece operational.
Sylvia told me the 15-year-old quint, purchased by the city earlier this year, must still have a radio system installed once it leaves the shop. He said the firefighters who will eventually operate the quint have yet to be trained on it. At best, the quint is weeks away from replacing Engine 8.
