STRIPED BASS - Its been a transition week for bass. Generally the
reports have been slow since the weekend, except for Long Sand Shoal
which has been hot. The mouth of the Connecticut River has had a few
schoolies, down significantly from the previous week. The mouth of the
Thames River is shaping up for its usual late fall bash of school bass.
The Rhode Island shore is also on the downswing as baitfish seem to
be vacating. There were some third hand reports of herring on the
beaches, but no gannets. Montauk still has a lot of baitfish with small
to medium sized bass.
BLUEFISH - This week was the first sign that they were thinning out a
bit. Theres still some jumbos around the mouth on the Connecticut River
but the bunker are just about all gone giving the blues little to hang
around for.
BLACKFISH- Last weeks surge has lost its momentum this week. Reports
from Southwest and Black Point had fewer and smaller blacks towards the
end of the week. Looks like the reefs will get a few days off for bad
weather next week and that should improve things. The best reports are
still coming from the smaller rockpiles.
