STRIPED BASS- Bass fishing picked up a bit this week or maybe the
blues slowed up some. Theres been some more schoolies and medium sized bass
in the River. The Causeway has a decent run of schoolies at the bridge
openings with leadheads catching the best. Long Sand Shoal and
Southwest Reef have had a good dawn bite on bait. The Race has also had some
large bass daytimes on bunker. The bunker has thinned out some more in
the River but theres still enough to net and even snag at times.
The fall run thus far has been slow in Rhode Island while at Montauk
its been red hot.
BLUEFISH- The bluefish action is slowing in the River. Theres still
some surface action and blitzing around the bunker schools at the mouth of
the River. The Race, Gut , Long Sand Shoal, Pigeon Rip and Long Sand
Shoal have had good action this week.
PORGIES- Thinning out a bit but still worthwhile at Hatchetts and
Bartletts.
BLACKFISH- Reports were a bit better this week moving up from slow to
fair action. A few good reports from Hatchetts and Niantic. The most
consistent action seems to be in shallower water.
FALSE ALBACORE- Slower than the last report. A few from Watch Hill, and
some from Pine Island mixed in with Bonito.
HOURS- The sun is rising later and so are we. Monday -Friday 6am
to 7pm
Saturday 5am to 6pm
Sunday 5am to 4pm
