Long Island Sound - Saltwater Fishing Report

Brett Torrey came down with his son Matt, Bruce Lemieux and his son Tim, and a friend Leo to try their luck catching a big striper on live bait. The bait didn't quite cooperate but the group still managed to fill the live well after some work

getting them. They soon found out how important is was to spend the time getting live hickory shad. After our third stop with no luck the fourth stop proved to be the ticket. On his first drift Brett set up on a very big fish that gave him all of his moneys worth. I knew right away this was a special fish and when it finally came aboard Brett's dreams came true with a 55 pound 33 inch cow bass. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy being a seasoned fisherman on many sought after species of fish in the world. I love when customers catch the biggest striped bass of their lives not to mention the biggest of the year for the Kingfisher. Bruce, Tim, and Leo also happen to catch the biggest stripers of their lives. All in all, a great day with a great group.
