Fished the mid day hours at a few locations in RI, then back out in the evening hoping to find my first non-holdover bass of the year. This was coming after skunking a few times locally in RI, going out for an hour here or there, looking for the that first louse covered Bass, and generally not finding anything... It wasn't until this day that I found it. My first keeper of the season was actually Jan 11th but we won't count holdovers for the sake of this title. By now there are plenty of areas with fish, and hopefully plenty of good fishing ahead.

    Jigging World gotta sponsor you forreal.. been binge watching all your videos with the Onyx rod and getting one tomorrow! One question though, how long do you tie your leader?

    First time viewer, just starting to think about getting out to the Block for some surf strippers.

    Love your videos Chris, been watching for a while. Because of you, I've tried getting into throwing artificials (always been a bait fisherman my whole life) for some reason I don't have faith in artificials, I'll do a ton of casts and change up lures and eventually always go back to bait- I guess I just don't have patience with lures. Also, I found jiggingworld because of your channel and I absolutely love all of their products from Tog/seabass rods to surf fishing. Keep putting out content!

    Good to see you getting rewarded for following your instincts. Things are starting to get interesting down here in Jersey. Cheers!

    Just a transporting tip, if you put a bungie cord on the oh sh** handles it gives you a shelf to put the rods up and out of the way

    The warmer backwaters have been the ticket here in southwestern CT for the past 2 weeks. I've been nailing big schoolies and short slots with swimmers. Darker colors and a steady retrieve with occasional jerks have been getting their attention.

    Great vid Chris. Nice to see you back in RI. Hope to run into you again on the beach chasing albies.

    Great video, cant wait to get out on my yak here in CT. Been hearing of some solid fresh fish pushing in. Just gotta get some decent weather.
