As we approach the end of October fall fishing is at its best! The water temperature has dropped considerably with all the rain and wind we have had these past few days. We do have some rain and wind coming on Tuesday Oct. 28th but from Wed. Oct. 29th through the entire week and weekend into the first week of November looks to be cool and dry.
With these conditions blackfish continue to bite in 20-30 to even 40ft of water around the local rock piles and jetties from the south shore of long island all the way up the north shore of long island into Connecticut. Best spots are Pea Island, Huckleberry Island, Hens and Chicken, Rye Playland is real hot right now and all the way up the Conn. shoreline to the Norwalk Islands. Best bait fiddler crabs, green crabs, Asian crabs and fresh clams. Remember the next 30 days are probably the best 30 days for fall blackfish in the Long Island Sound.
On the bluefish front there are still a few blues being caught out in the middle of Long Island Sound behind Execution Lighthouse on both the Rye and Hempstead sides of the sound. Just chunks of bunker and mackeral to the bottom in 20-50ft of water are producing bluefish between 10-12 pounds with an occasional striped bass mixed in for good measure. Over this past weekend we had fishermen weighing in blackfish from 7-9 pounds with many smaller fish and plenty of action all were caught from the shore on the rental, private and party boats. I can't emphasize enough that time is limited so come on out, get your fresh bait, your fresh crabs, your fresh bunker from Jack's and get out and take advantage of the last month or so of the 2008 fall season!
See you soon!
