Watch for the many Ice Fishing Tournaments that are growing throughout New England. If your group needs a PSA, just e-mail us at waynewnri@yahoo.com

Try Carp fishing with Marshmallow and Maise you could be surprised with a 30lb. fresh water fish ! Freshen up with new fishing line and please use circle hooks to eliminate a injury. If you are going to fill a void and try for one of the big carp remember, ( NO) lip lock tool or lifting from their delicate gill plates which may be fatal. Use the Carp nets that will save the fish for another fisher.

Head boats out of Point Judith, Galilee Cod Trips produce.

New England wild turkey hunting is producing longer beards this year with the lack of last years snow cover.

Black Bear sightings are on the rise in Connecticut and Rhode Island and with a mild winter and no hunting season in either State the sightings will increase. Do not attract them to your property is the best defense.
