North Shore - Saltwater Fishing Report
Each morning on the Sound, Captain Robin Calitri of LongIslandFlyFishing.com checks various spots to see if the Bonito have arrived. There is a little fished, but wonderful, fly and light tackle fishery for these tunoids on long Island Sound. They are taken with small flies, Deadly dicks and 4 inch Fin-S-Fish. They are not easy to get to bite but a 50 yard run and a wonderful fight will follow a wrenching strike. It is best to fish a rip where the Bonito set up and wait for them rather than running and gunning which makes the fish even more wary. Light, fluoro carbon leaders work for most of the guides. No Bonito as of 7-10-08, but they will be here soon.
For now, the blues are thick along the whole North Shore. Laurie Moldower had an eye popping experience with many blues to 4 pounds on light tackle on Friday abord C Sic Again. The area hot was from Eatons Neck to the Nissequoge River. On Wednesday, Kathy and Erick Feildstadt, of Long Island Bassmaster fame, slew the blues on the sluggoes left over from the pre senko days of bass fishing. One schoolie striper was in the mix. The sluggoes are fished on a 5/0 hook with no weight. Each sluggoes is good for about 20 seconds but they are fun and effective. Why wouldn't you enjoy this fishing. Captain Robin has some North Shore and Montauk dates available. Contact him at [email protected]
