It's mid-June, and the Sound is coming alive.... - Larger striped bass have been caught on bunker chunks--with the average keeper 31-38; bluefish of all sizes are coming in--using topwater poppers--in 60-80 ft. depths. Fluke are being caught, but most of them are shorts. We haven't seen porgies on more...

The Sound is starting to wake up. - After a slow start this week the fishing started to come around. There were small schools of bass chasing squid on top. The problem was that the fish would come up grab a squid and head right back to the bottom. There were some fish on small herring more...

It's finally starting.... - We've had our boat in the water for about ten days now, and we've done some scouting, but there's nothing exciting to report. Some local fishermen tell of getting decent-sized stripers in the early morning hours--using fresh bunker chunks. Others h more...

Stripers are on the move - We put the boat in the water this past week and took a quick exploratory ride inshore looking for some stripers. We found them quickly and had fun with fish from six to sixteen pounds. We started at 11:00 AM and were finished at 1:00 PM. Not the best more...

The fish are in! - This weekend we brought the boat back to Noank and fished the Race cathing a limit of bass within a couple hours. Three-wayed tsunmi shads and diamond jigs produced bass during the flood tide on Sat. and the ebb on Sun. Sunday's trip started slow but more...

An Early Snowfall and an Early End to the Fishing Season - We had planned on pulling MY BONNIE out of the water on November 12, but we'll be doing it a bit sooner because of the very cold weather and high winds we've been experiencing here for the past two weeks, including a heavy snowfall last Saturday. No more...

The season is definitely waning... - On Columbus Day the weather was again perfect, and we had Mike Moriarty and Mike Jr. from Kent. We had a great day starting at 7:30 in the middle of the Sound, jigging bluefish until 10am, after which we went looking for porgies inshore, where the ac more...
