As we approach the middle of November Blackfishing is still very good in 25-50ft of water from Rye east to Connecticut Anthony Bucci landed 8 black fish to 8 pounds keeping his limit of 4 fishing with green crabs off of Rye.
On the bluefish front believe it or not there are still a lot of bluefish being caught up to 14 pounds out in the middle of Long Island Sound behind Execution Lighthouse. These fish are taking anything such as frozen bunker and frozen mackerel because they are very very hungry. As the water temperature continues to drop this week with cold air filtering in these bluefish should be gone by Thanksgiving.
On the striped bass front since the bunker have disappeared these striped bass are eating live eels, sandworms and bloodworms some of the smaller fish will eat the fresh clam the bigger ones will go after the eels and the worms. Most of these fish are being caught under the Throgs Neck Bridge and down the river towards the Triboro Bridge.
We will be renting boats on nice days until November 23rd. That will end it for the season and we will restart the season on April 1, 2009 for boat rentals. The party boats will continue to go out until Nov. 30th with some boats continuing to sail until at least the first week in December.
There isn't much time left so if you can get out in the next couple of weeks do so before the winter season of 2009 blows in.
Be sure to stop by for a gift or gift certificate for the fishermen/women on your Holiday List. Jack's Bait and Tackle will be open until December 19th. You can call us and give your credit card info for gift certificates and we will mail it to you or the person the gift for.
See you soon!
