Dave MontiSpecial to the Providence JournalLarge striped bass are being caught in the Providence River and upper Narragansett Bay, often by using Atlantic menhaden as bait.

The striped bass are here on their annual migration north. Before relating where to catch them and how it is important to note that they are in tough shape as a species. Striped bass continue to be overfished and subject to overfishing so great care should be taken to catch and release fish safely to reduce fish mortality. Using one single hook rather than multiple treble hooks on lures helps. Keep the fight short and try to keep the fish in the water when dehooking and releasing.
