THE HEAT IS ON..... - On Thursday we fished with David Kent, a British Columbian native, currently living in Dubai. It was windy, so he couldn't use a fly rod, which he prefers, but–he boated 12 striped bass and one bluefish on light tackle with bucktail lures.

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...

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...

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.

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...

Post-Labor Day Slowdown has Begun... - It seems folks don't care too much about fishing once Labor Day comes and goes. And the weather hasn't been too cooperative over the past ten days either.
But we sailed on Saturday morning, Sept 10, with My Bonnie regular, Frank Chieffalo of Da more...
