Long Island - Saltwater Fishing Report
Ya Shudda Been there TODAY!
More on that later. Dr. Seth Eichner and Captain Robin Calitri, of LongIslandFlyFishing.com had a beautiful evening on Thursday. Seth is a renowned psychotherapist but novice fisherman. He shows great promise at this new sport. On 8/29 Stu Hochron and Jim DelGrosso boarded C Sic Again for a Montauk exploratory. It was the beginning of the action for the fall. Blues and Bass began their yearly boils and we took many of both. Stu did a great job on the spinning while Jim and I used the fly. It was almost ‘epic'.
Labor Day found my wife Caren and me enjoying a beautiful morning on Northport Bay. Small bass and blues cooperated for me while a good book entertained Caren. I had another giant bass come up and attempt to eat a smaller bass that I had on the fly. But I learned something from the canabalism.
Joel Weiss and Dana Thompson joined be for a quick after work trip on Tuesday evening. I went out early and scouted but found the Sound like the Dead Sea. Captain Ken Kuhner gave me a tip and we found wonderful, surface feeding blues off Stamford. Great job and thanks to you Captain Ken, Joel and Dan ripped it up.
Today. Wednesday September 3, 2008 might have been the finest of all fishing days for Captain Robin Calitri, Captain Vinny Catelano and Jim DelGrosso. We took C Sic Again out of Montauk and immediately hit bass and blues on the fly on the north side. We played in these blitzes for an hour or so and then saw even more action to the east. We caught bass to 32 inches and tons of 4-10 pounds blues until we got itchy. So we went searching the South side for Albies. We saw a few likely Albie type busts and then we hit the mother load. We took bass after bass with a few blues in between for the next 4 or 5 hours. It was non-stop. Dixon, Ted Williams, Blinken and Reagan were up to their smiling ears in bass and blues. Jim DelGrosso took a bass of about 13 pounds. Skinny Vinny hit the 18 pound mark on the fly. I remembered the canabalism of big bass and tied on a large clouser which was red-tan oveer white. It was tied to imitate a Pollack but it was close to looking likd a baby bass. I let it sink under the surface madness and bam, Capain Robin Calitri had a personal, fly best of 40 inches and 29 pounds. Eventually we were so worn out that we just sat and watched the blitzes and boils which were so thick that the bass and blues were bouncing off the boat. And Captain Paul Dixon in his new, trim 23 Sea Craft yelled to us. "Wait until Montauk gets really good!' Don't miss out. I still have a very few open dates.
