Tautog and striper action continues to get better in Rhody.

Spring tautog action is starting to pick up in the salt, while trout and largemouth bass action is holding down the fort in the freshwater.

Spring tautog action is starting to pick up in the salt, while trout and largemouth bass action is holding down the fort in the freshwater.

Holdover striped bass action continues to intensify, while trout anglers continue to report excellent catches in CT and RI.

Largemouth bass are beginning to push up into shallow flats on sunny days, making them an easy target from shore.

Until the water temperatures climb into the mid to upper 40s, largemouth, white perch, and other freshwater species are the best option.

Trout season doesn't begin until the second Saturday in April, but you can still fish non-stocked waters for a variety of species.

The ponds and lakes north and west of Providence are the best bet for the weekend.

Despite the recent reports of safe ice in Rhode Island, the upcoming days could be the last opportunity to hit the hardwater.

There is lots of good ice in the Ocean State and the hardwater bite should be steady for the next week.
