season / area fished
 Our
season begins the latter part of April, fishing the Iower
Connecticut river for striped bass. Most of this fishing
is shallow water and is done out of my 19' skiff. As
the end of May rolls around I shift my attention to the
Watch Hill area for the annual squid migration. It can
be a truly awesome fishing experience. Bass Iove squid!
The mid-summer months of July and August typically find
us with good numbers of both bass and blues, as well
as bonito towards the end of August.
As for the false albacore, decent numbers usually show in early September and
strengthen as we go into the fall. For those of you who are interested in attempting
a "grand slam", September and October are prime time. Our fall fishery is unsurpassed
with usually all four species found in good numbers.
Our season ends the first part of November as the fall migration slows.
AREAS FISHED
We fish some of the most diverse and productive waters found anywhere. Eastern Long Island Sound's scenic ledges, rips, islands, and shallows are home to large numbers of game fish. We fish as far east as Watch Hill, as far west as the Connecticut River, and as far south as Montauk Point.
We have a wide variety of ever-changing bait fish throughout
our season. Here is a list of the most common: Squid, butterfish,
herring, finger mullet, silverside shiners,
bay anchovies and Bunker.
