[center]Best Bites[/center]
Striped Bass - The bunker are on the move this week, getting out of the rivers and running along the shoreline. From Guilford to Old Saybrook the past couple of days you can see several schools at on time. That's good, what isn't is that they are swimming unmolested by bass or blues. Some good bass have been taken at Hatchetts and Bartletts, good but not lots. The mouth of the Connecticut River is still giving up some nice sized bass both on bait and surface plugs, schoolies are at the Breakwaters and the Causeway.
Montauk was good the last two days for surfcasters as bay anchovies closed in on the Southside. Watch Hill has schoolies while the Breachways has larger fish and crowds.
Bluefish - The Race and Plum Gut have stepped up and a few more schools have been on the surface at Hatchetts and Black Point. The lower Connecticut River has some large ones and they've spilled over to to Long Sand Shoal and Cornfield
Fluke - One of the staff at Hillyers caught a couple this week. You've got to be dedicated.
Porgies - Good catches this week of big porgies and small sea bass on most rockpiles and the big reefs.
Bonito, False Albacore - There was a good albie bite last Friday at Montauk, but it was dead the next day. More reports of bonito from Newport and east. Maybe next year.
Blackfish - Season opened yesterday and a few souls braved the weather, actually the Sound on our side was pretty good but breezy. We weighed in a few today with no spots disclosed but they were all in shallow water.
The Tri-Shop Blackfish Contest is underway with $1000 first prize. You can register and weigh in at Hillyers, Fish Connection or Rivers End.
