Fish where traveling in small groups . The shallows were really dirty and the depths 30 and deeper were fair to good. Lots of scup in the area as well.

July 16 - Block island visibility fair deeper than 35 and terrible in the shallows. Layer of on in new harbor due to strong NE winds . Left the dock at noon and found the fish right away on the SW corner . Lots of fish in small and big groups . Traveled to the SE corner and found small groups of solid  25 to 30 pounders. We attempted the shallows but it was to dirty to hunt.

 July 17 - Visibility excellent by mid day. Headed back to the SE on a hunch and found lots of quality fish in 50 to 55 feet of water . Tons of blues and a fair amount of black sea bass as well. Vis in the deep was 25 feet plus. Ended with all 30s and 40 lbers .
