Long Island Sound - Saltwater Fishing Report
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN
I would just like to say hello to everyone and I hope
you all had a great winter. Spring is here
and I am very excited about the upcoming fishing
season. The boat is in the water and I
just finished tying the last of my killer fluke rigs.
We will be making our first trip to Montauk for those
big doormat fluke that show up the first week of May.
The bigger fluke are the fist to show from offshore
and their first stop along the migration route is
Montaulk, and they are extremely hungry from the
journey. They work their way along the Montauk
shoreline and travel around Block Island and towards
the Rhode Island shoreline where they then move
towards the Connecticut Coast which heats up in June.
Your best chance at a trophy fluke is to meet them at
Montaulk the first two or three weeks in May. Anyone
interested in non-stop action with these big tasty
fish should call now to book a trip because these
precious dates fill up quick.
As for striped bass, they also show in The Race and
Montauk in early May. Last year on May 7th we hit a
huge school of stripers in the 15 to 20 pound range at
the race. I could not believe there were no other
boats around to take part in the action. A typical
full day trip with Kingfisher Charters will put you on
both fluke and stripers in the same day.
Anyone interested in booking a charter give us a call at 860-573-3614. Tight
Lines to all.
