Report from Rivers End Tackle - gdn443 - 05-05-2006
UPDATED BY PAT ON FRIDAY, May 5th,
2006
STRIPED BASS- Its still mainly schoolies with a hint of larger bass in
the lower River. There are some 24" plus bass congregating mid-river
from South Cove in Old Saybrook. Essex also has some nicer bass near
Haydens Point (marker 25). The tides are running slower for the next few
days and the River is running clear and a bit lower. That seems to make
the bass less likely to hit.The good news is that they're hitting on the
surface when they hit.
The first bass has been caught at Southwest Reef and we should start
hearing from Plum Gut this weekend.
FLOUNDER- The Niantic River is still getting fair action with a few
limit catches reported last week. We also had reports of a few caught at
the Breakwater but nowhere near a limit.
FLUKE- Tomorrow is opening day in NY. We have heard some catch and
release reports from Montauk and they were scant, however they had some
better news from Greenport. Rhode Island had a few small fish reported
near the South Shore Beaches. We haven't heard anything from Connecticut
waters. Theres a lot of squid and optimism out there. The Flat Out
Fluke Contest has started.
BLACKFISH- The season end had a grand finale. Season is closed until
June 15th.
SEMINARS-
May 6th- 11am to 2pm-The Butterfly Jigging Technique with the Shimano
Pro Staff. This is a relatively new system promoted by Shimano that has
done very well in the South and West Coasts. It will be an ongoing
seminar so drop in anytime for some good info to be used this season on
bass, blues, tuna and maybe fluke.
HOURS- We'll be open this Saturday and Sunday from 5am to 5pm. Next
Monday through Friday we'll be open from 7am to 7pm.
