STRIPED BASS- Its been a moderate week with an increase in medium
sized bass on the local reefs. The Race and Plum Gut also had more medium
sized bass if you can get through the blues. Schoolies have been along
the shoreline at low light and dark conditions.Theres even more peanut
bunker along the shore and we had more reports of adult bunker in the
River this week. Hatchetts and Southwest reefs have had bass on morning
tides for eel drifters.
BLUEFISH- They have been getting thicker and bigger this week. Blues
up to mid-teens in size have been pretty common, even from the docks
this week. The Race, Plum Gut and Pigeon Rip have been good to very good
this week and fairly poor last weekend. The River has some good and
sporadic blitzes even at mid day near the bridges.
SNAPPERS- Theres hasn't been any let up yet as some of the snappers
are 8 inches and a few longer. The best bets are still in some moving
water near the Causeway and DEP piers.
FLUKE- Closed in Connecticut, open in RI and NY through September 16th.
You can catch Fluke in NY and RI but you cannot bring them into CT
waters.
BLACKFISH- Season closed, will reopen on the 22nd.
PORGIES- Good to very good at Hatchetts, Bartletts and Cranes.
BONITO, FALSE ALBACORE - Bonito reports were better than the albies
this week around Watch Hill and Fishers Island. Some albies were caught
outside West Harbor on Fishers. Word from Montauk was a good yesterday at
the point and west. Some albies have been on the north side of Plum
Island, but they are sporadic and tough. Best reports are coming from
Charlestown and east.
BLUE CRABS- Some very excellent catches from both North and South Coves
on the River as well as the DEP Piers and Oyster River.
BONEFISH- Not too good locally but we're expecting them south this
winter. We have a trip to Acklins Island in the Bahamas in November and one
in Los Roques, Venezeula in February. For more detail call Pat
860-388-2283.
HOURS- Monday to Friday 5am-7pm----- Saturday 4am-6pm------Sunday 4am
-5pm
