The week of Oct. 19th proved to be a week of change not only has the weather become cooler but the fish have gone on more of a feed. on the blackfish front Danny Brown aka Mr. Softie had 10 keepers blackfish to 7 1/2 pounds off the shorelines of Stanford Conn. He was fishing with green crabs and fiddler crabs and also Asian crabs in about 20 to 35 feet of water. He also tried in 50 feet of water and produced some blackfish as well. Locally Pea Island Huckleberry Island Hen and Chicken Mammaroneck Rye are also starting to produce nice blackfish as the water temperature begins to drop.
Also the next three weeks will be the best fishing for blackfish locally as these north northeast winds continue to blow cooler waters our way. right now the water temp. is 61 degrees and as we approach the 50's the bite will be on.
On the striped bass and bluefish front they continue to do very well with fresh bunker and mackeral anchored up off buoy 42 buoy 32A Throgs Neck and Stepping Stone Lighthouse. Three gentlemen on Sat Oct 18th on Jack's rental boats landed 10 jumbo blues to 12 pounds. As we approach the end of Oct. we must take advantage of any nice day before the really cold winds of November are upon us. Our hours still remain 5am to 8pm 7 days a week.
For those live eel enthusiasts we are stocking live eels for the big striped bass bite down the river. Also a note blackfish from the shoreline off the East River along the wall has been excellent.
Looking forward to see you all here at Jack's Bait and Tackle here in The Bronx.
