STRIPED BASS- Its all about the bunker, and they're all around. Schools
of adult bunker are along the shoreline from Clinton to the Connecticut
River. Most of the bass aren't too far away. Long Sand Shoal, Hatchetts
and Black Point are giving up quite a few cows. Schoolies have been on
the surface at Bartletts and at times Hatchetts. The Race and Plum Gut
have slowed up some since last week.
BLUEFISH- The Race and Plum Gut are yielding the usual suspects, a few
larger blues are coming from Pigeon Rip. The River has some blues,
mostly on chunk bait.
SNAPPER BLUES- A few reports of 3-4" snappers.
FLUKE- A slow but steady improvement this week with the short to keeper
ratio improving to around 10 to 1. The River is yielding some keepers
from North Cove to the mouth. You don't have to run too far to find some
doormats. Some nice sizes have come from the deeper waters from
Hatchetts to Waterford. A good report also came in from Mattituck.
PORGIES- A bit better this week with big sizes, but they're elusive.
They are definitely down in numbers. Hatchetts, Bartletts and Black Point
are yielding some.
Bonito- Some third hand reports of sightings this week. Its getting to
be the time.
BLUE CRABS- Good reports from North Cove and Oyster River again this
week.
HOURS- This week we'll be open Monday through Friday from 6am to 7pm.
Weekends from 4am to 6pm.
