Report from Rivers End Tackle - gdn443 - 04-29-2006
UPDATED BY PAT ON FRIDAY, APRIL 28th,
2006
STRIPED BASS- The Connecticut River is having its maybe a little better
than usual spring run of schoolies. Its a toss up whether its the mild
weather thats bringing out more fishermen or theres just more fish.
There's action at all the usual spots, the Woodlot, Marker 25, Lieutenant
River etc. Most of the bass are in the 15 - 20" range with an
occaisional two footer thrown in. The most effective lures have been leadheaded
soft plastic lures such as the Storm Shad types of jigs. We have been
hearing of more Slugo-go action this week, thats usually a sign that
theres bigger baits and bass around.
From the local shore the Causeway is still on the list of producers
with the inside doing better. Leadheads are best here, while at the DEP
Piers bait is better. New Haven Harbor has a mess of schoolies.
Upriver theres been some larger schoolies in the Windsor area and some
2 to 3 foot bass in the Cromwell to Portland area of the River.
FLOUNDER- Theres some activity in the Niantic River but even there its
dwindling. The rumors of flats at the breakwater still persists but I
have yet to get a firsthand report.
FLUKE- No it hasn't started yet but NY has finally set its
regulations. The season for NY will be May 6th thru September 12th with a 4 fish
18" limit. In Connecticut its April 30th thru December 31st with a 6
fish limit at 18". Rhode Island is May 1st to December 31st with a 7 fish
limit at 17.5 ".
BLACKFISH- It seems like they had a very good run at the Clinton
Breakwater last week. Sunday April 30th is the last day of the spring season.
