UPDATED BY PAT ON FRIDAY, October
26th, 2007
We will be skipping next weeks report- I'll be chasing bonefish. We'll
update the report on November 9th.
STRIPED BASS- Theres been more and smaller bass around this week. The
usual late fall school bass are gathering along the shoreline with some
good reports coming from Fishers Island Sound to the Connecticut
River. Small bass have been near the mouths of North and South Coves in the
River and running east from Griswold Point to Black Point. The Causeway
has had a mix of bass, blues and shad. The larger bass along the shore
have been hot on the bunker leaving the estuaries, find some adult
bunkers and the cows won't be too far away. The mouth of the Niantic River
has had some pushes on bunker and hickory shad. We have had a few
reports of larger bass on Long Sand Shoal hitting drifted whole or chunked
bunker. The action at both Montauk and the Rhode Island beaches has
picked up the last few days and the wind forecast the next couple of days
should even be better.
BLUEFISH- Good to overwhelming! Blues from 2 to 12 pounds are abundant
from the Westbrook to Westerly Beaches and near shore waters. The Old
Saybrook Town Beach has had some fairly consistent blitzes at dusk and
dawn. Anglers throwing chunks from the DEP Piers and Saybrook Point are
getting mixed sizes. They have also been along the Fenwood shore. The
usual choppers are at the Race and Plum Gut.
BLACKFISH- Still good with the most consistent catches coming from 20'
and under. Hatchetts, Bartletts, Black Point and Seaside have all been
good but its apparent that fishing pressure is taking its toll as the
fish are getting smaller.
PORGIES- Also real good at Southwest and Hatchetts - Remember the
season closes on October 31st.
BONITO, FALSE ALBACORE - The only recent sightings have been at
Millstone.
BLUE CRABS- In spite of my denial they still caught good numbers in
the River this week.
BONEFISH- No they're not in the River but we're expecting them south
this winter. We have a group trip to Los Roques, Venezuela in February.
For more detail call Pat 860-388-2283.
HOURS- Monday to Friday 7am-6pm----- Saturday 6am-5pm------Sunday 6am
