UPDATED BY PAT ON FRIDAY, June
8th, 2007

STRIPED BASS- The bass action is shifting outside the Connecticut
River. Long Sand Shoal and other local reefs are holding bass of mixed
sizes. There are still some good sized bass in the mouth of the River
hitting surface lures but its a low light game. Theres bunker in the lower
River, not easy to find with regularity. Live and fresh chunked baits
are scoring best in daylight hours.
The Race and Plum Gut picked up again this week with live bait scoring
best but with bucktailers and diamond jiggers also scoring. Southwest
Reef had good action for jiggers with a mix of bass and blues.

BLUEFISH- Theres a mix of small to medium blues at Southwest Reef and
medium sizes at the Race, Gut and Pigeon Rip. Theres some schools of
small blues running along the shoreline on both sides of the River. In the
River theres a scattering of medium sized blues near Great Island.

FLUKE- Its off to a pretty good start with the keeper to short ratio
running about 1 in 10 locally. The Connecticut River has some fluke from
the Mouth of North Cove to the Breakwater and Soundview and Long Sand
Shoal have had some decent sizes but not too many limit catches. Two
Tree Channel also has a bunch. Good reports are also coming from the RI
South Shore and the south side of Fishers Island.

BLACKFISH- Season closed until June 15th.

PORGIES- Last week we reported that the NY season opened on 7/1, it
actually opened on June 1st. No reports came in this week locally but its
fair to say they're out there.

HOURS- Monday to Friday 5am-7pm----- Saturday and Sunday 4am -5pm
