Rivers End Tackle Report
#13
Fishing Report -- May 23, 2014
Striped Bass - Finally we're getting some consistent reports of bass on the local reefs. They've been in Plum Gut for a few days and on the Westbrook/ Clinton Reefs just a couple of days, this morning they showed up on Bartletts Reef. A few boats are trying the Race today and they should find them there also, we'll have confirmation tomorrow.
Even though there's bunker around you'll do a lot better with bucktails either cast, drifted or trolled now. Bunker are in the Connecticut and Housatonic Rivers, Westbrook and New Haven Harbors.
The schoolie action in the lower Connecticut River is slowing down in numbers with more keepers in the mix. Top water lures are now the best producers, unfortunately we can expect another week of muddy waters and floating debris.
Word from Long Island is lower numbers of bass along the South Shore.
Bluefish - We still haven't had a confirmed report of bluefish in the Connecticut River. Usually we see the around May 12th. I can't believe that no one has got "bit off". Long Island has had bluefish bonanza since mid month.
Winter Flounder - The season is now open til the end of the year. There's a few along the Waterford beaches.
Fluke - Still on the slow side for this date but I think that lack of effort due to weather is a factor since the season opened. Best reports we've heard are coming from the south side of Fishers Island. Montauk and Block have fish with smaller fluke dominating the catches.
We've heard of a few incidental catches off the Old Lyme to Waterford shoreline, my guess is that it's worthwhile trying near home.
Our Flat Out Fluke Contest is open call us or stop in for details. Will Strausser is leading with a 5.65 pounder.
Blackfish - Closed in CT until July but open in RI.
Porgies - Open season but no reports also.
Weakfish - More reports than we've had in at least 10 years. Most of the action is in the Milford to Guilford area. We haven't had a lot of specifics for locations.

Hours - We're changing to early Summer hours.
Mon - Fri 5am -- 7pm
Saturday 5am -- 6pm
Sunday 5am -- 5pm
Memorial Day, May 26th we'll be open from 5am to 3pm
