Fishing Report - October 17, 2014 Striped Bass - It seems the fishing in Rhode Island has slowed down considerably this past week while Montauk has been hot again. Locally, we heard from several customers of a huge blitz of schoolie bass last week that stretched for nearly a half mile toward Essex. Fish were in the 18" to 24" range. The local reefs seem to be fishing tough, while action in the Race and Plum Gut has picked up over the last few days.
Bluefish - The CT river is still holding large bluefish to date. We've heard of them in Essex all the way down to the mouth. Yesterday there were fish chasing the bunker right at the Causeway. The river is still holding bunker but expect to see them leave the river shortly.
Sea Bass -Continues to be very good. Go deep. Look for structure.
Porgies - Solid reports this week from the usual spots. Good sizes being reported too.
Bonito - False Albacore - We've heard of continuing good reports this week from the Watch Hill area as well as in eastern Ct especially near New London. We even heard of some racing around the mouth of the Housatonic River. Bonito have been mixing in recently. Someone reportedly caught 10 from shore this week in eastern CT.
Blackfish - It's been a good season so far. Nearly everyone has been reporting good to excellent fishing this past week. The Blackfish contest has opened with a bang. Tom Lemire is already leading with a 12.25 lb. fish.
Please note, we are changing hours again. We will be closing at 6:00 pm during the week beginning Monday the 20th.
