Our season begins the first part of May, fishing the local rivers, bays and estuaries for striped bass. Around Memorial Day we begin to see the bluefish population increase, and the congregation of some large stripers. Our prime time for trophy bass is June and again in the fall.

The mid-summer months of July and August typically find us with good numbers of bass and blues, as well as bonito toward mid-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.

We wind up our season as the fall migration slows down in November.

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, tinker mackerel, finger mullet, silverside shiners, bay anchovies, and Bunker.
