Fishing Report -- June 27, 2014
Striped Bass - The best reports this week have been from boats out at Block Island. Locally, the CT river has been giving up a few fish from the mouth up to the Essex area, but it's winding down fast in the river. There are some out at Long Sand Shoal now, and there have been some reports of bass in Plum Gut and the Race.
Bluefish - The lower Connecticut River still has some bigger fish hitting on surface lures as well as bunker chunks. The Clinton/ Westbrook Reefs also have them, but the best bet right now seems to be at Plum Gut and the Race.
Winter Flounder - No reports.
Sea Bass - Season is now open in CT, in NY on 7/15 and in RI on 6/29. We weighed in 3 sea bass last weekend in the 5+ lb. range. We've heard of excellent fishing all week from the Clinton area out to Black Point in Niantic and places further such as Block Island.
Fluke - Shorts dominate the reports we've been getting this week. There has been a slow pick at Block Island with an occasional doormat. Similarly, the south side of Fishers has been producing lots of shorts. We heard of a few good reports from west of Mattatuck and from the Ruins.
Our Flat Out Fluke Contest is open call us or stop in for details. Ray Koby is leading with an 8.10 pounder.
Blackfish - Closed in CT until July.
Porgies - We heard of some very good porgy fishing this week. They're at Bartletts, Hatchetts, Hens and Chickens and Cranes. I suspect they're on most rockpiles that haven't reported in. Sizes were better this week.
Summer hours.
Mon - Fri 5am -- 7pm
Saturday 4am -- 6pm
Sunday 4am -- 5pm
