May 1, 2017 Newport RI Spearfishing Report - Dave Gleeson

Date: May 1, 2017
Dive location: Newport
Report Contributor: Dave Gleeson


After a successful trip just a few days earlier, I decided to try my luck again. My dad and I scooted out after work for what would prove to be a short mission, as the fog was rolling in heavy off newport. Water temperature was 50 and visibility was about 8ft. We ran into some big tog right away, and in no time put a few on the stringer. With dark approaching, getting our limit took a little more patience because of the reduced visibility/lack of daylight. Again with the aid of the dive light, we found some more tog holed up in shallow caves and got our limit. We also noticed more free swimming fish, a sure sign of warming weather. 

Get out there, and dive safe!

Weather is not looking so good for Saturday with rain coming so let's hope the storms do not effect the visibility for those looking to get their fish on Sunday.
