OK. Here's the shoreline report for 8/3/2011. On the water for the "magic hour" before sunrise with a few quick hookups right out the gate in Niantic. Lot's of schoolies feeding on small bait. Hung out at the top of Niantic Bay until the tide began to slack, and then headed over to Goshen Beach/Harkness. Tide was just beginning to turn and I quickly hooked a small schoolie followed by a 32" striper on tube and worm. That seems to be the ticket as far as artificials go right now. Overall, I had a half dozen stripers in Niantic and Goshen, but only the one keeper. By 7:30, the stripers had disappeared and some blues were starting to show off of Little Goshen Reef. As the tide and rip was building, I stayed in. Outer Bartlett's was filled with birds and bait as the tide got going, but again, I was left on the sidelines in my little boat. Ran back to the outflow and hooked a few blues, and tried Black Point before heading in. Day was pretty much over for me by 10:00am. Not a bad morning!

Thanks for the update redneck. I've been reading the reports lately, on Long Island Sound and RI fishing. Looking forward to my upcoming trip back to the USA. I live on the island of Cebu, Philippines, but think everyday about my home State of CT., and it's great fishing. Enjoyed your video and one thing please, do you have a link to that song? My sister would just love it, she's a great fisherwoman, and one of my favorite fishing partners. Thanks, Ned

Thanks Ned. I usually post here and redneckangler.blogspot.com at least once a week. The song is Craig Campbell/Fish followed by Trace Adkins/Just Fishin. Just google 'em!

Tight Lines,
