Fishing Report - October 3, 2014
Striped Bass -. There were a few stripers caught in the river this week, as far north as Essex. Rhode Island had some nice size fish on night tides at the Breachways. The fall run has started at Montauk now, with a fair number of teen size fish.
Bluefish - The CT river is holding plenty of choppers. We've heard of them in Essex all the way down to the mouth. The river is still loaded with bunker and the bluefish are taking advantage. Both Saybrook Point and The Causeway have been good, while the DEP has been quiet. There have also been scattered schools on the surface from Branford to Rhode Island chopping up Super Flukes and stealing Deadly Dicks while taking advantage of the abundant bait supply.
Snapper Blues - Starting to thin out now. If you get em, they're gonna be big!
Sea Bass -The best year we've ever seen. Look for deep structure. The Bloody Grounds and Cerebrus Shoal are two good examples.
Blue Crabs - Very few reports.
Porgies -The Sea Bass fishermen report HUGE porgies mixed in with their quarry.
Bonito - False Albacore - We've heard some good reports again this week. Some of the areas to try might be the Watch Hill area, the West Wall, around Fishers Island/Race Rock as well as around Plum Island.
Blackfish - The CT Season will open on friday, October 10th. We'll be ready with LOADS of crabs, Jigs and Rigs, and dont forget to enter our annual Blackfish Contest.
WE'VE CHANGED TO FALL HOURS.
Mon - Fri 6am -- 7pm
Saturday 5am -- 6pm
Sunday 5am -- 5pm
