Rhode Island Fishing Report – May 6, 2021 Tautog and striper action continues to get better in Rhody. Capt. Roy Taylor from Newport Sportfishing Charters with a big early-season tautog. Tautog action continues to pick-up for Rhode Island anglers as we wait for fluke and sea bass to get going. Striped bass activity is intensifying across the area, in both the tidal rivers and with fresh arrivals across the beaches. 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.
