STRIPED BASS- Wheres the bunker? The bunker at the Mouth of the River
have thinned out considerably the last two mornings. Theres still some
bunker way to the west around New Haven. I've heard from Westbrook or
Clinton today, they have the same news.The hickory shad are still at the
Mouth of the River. On the eel side theres been a good night bite at
both the Race and Plum Gut if you can get through the blues. Earlier in
the week also saw some night eel action at Hatchetts and Bartletts.
Schoolies have been on the surface at Bartletts and the Gulls mixed in
with the blues.
BLUEFISH- They're thick at both the Race and Plum Gut with diamond
jigging bringing the best results. At times they're on the surface at both
those spots plus Hatchetts, Bartletts and the Gulls. Drifting at the
Mouth of the River or Long Sand Shoal has produced consistent results.
SNAPPER BLUES- They're in solid now at the DEP Piers, the Causeway,
Blackhall and Lieutenant Rivers.
FLUKE- Despite the lousy start its a good mid-season run. The River
actually is running about 50% keepers. Misquamicut to Point Judith is
still the most consistent producer with sizes and numbers. Isabella is on
and off, Black Point has some good sizes with low numbers. To the west
some good reports have come off Hammonasset.
PORGIES- Same report as last week.Some big ones at Hatchetts, Cranes
and Bartletts. Still no big numbers.
Bonito- They're in as solid as they get. Catches have been reported
from Bartletts, Watch Hill, Weekapaug and the Race.
BLUE CRABS- They're at the DEP Piers, Oyster River, Behind Great
Island
HOURS- This week we'll be open Monday through Friday from 5am to 7pm.
Weekends from 4am to 6pm.
