Mako sharks appear in Mud Hole; BI bass are biting

Joe Fagan, fishing aboard Big Daddy, caught three mako sharks in the Mud Hole this weekend, a good sign for the Snug Harbor Marina Shark Tournament, scheduled for July 6 & 7 in Wakefield, RI. Fagan’s largest shark was 8 feet long, said Elisa Jackman of Snug Harbor Marina.

Striped bass fishing continues to be very good off Block Island where more 50-pounders have been taken at night, said Jackman. During the day, anglers trolling umbrella rigs have been catching stripers in the 30-pound class, Jackman said.
