Projo Fishing: HotBytes |
"The false albacore are running thick between Watch Hill and Fishers Island," says Robin Nash of Quonny Bait & Tackle. "A father-and-son team from New York hooked on to a couple Tuesday while trolling with Deadly Dicks." Fly fishermen have been doing better than conventional anglers when it come to catching false albacore, said Al Conti of Snug Harbor Marina. David Henault said the albies stretch from the East Wall to Watch Hill. Robin also said, "Surf casting finally seems to be picking up, too. From Misquamicut Beach, anglers have been bringing in sea bass, stripers and some nice bluefish. East Beach has some harbor blues hanging out. Clams seem to be doing the trick there. Weekapaug had more action this week. Scup are being caught, but also the end of the jetty fishermen landed blues and a couple keeper bass this week. Quonny Pond is still seeing a fair share of scup along with snappers. Tons of silversides are keeping the stripers in the back of the pond. Tube and worm rigs are still hooking big fish."

sept 18 09 windy big waves, Sakonot point jetty, fished all this week producing lots of big Scup, in you are a shore fisherman, also saw albacore or bonito's caught off the jetty, also saw 1 large striper around 30/40 lbs being dragged off the jetty, early in the week,I strickly fish for stripers with clam worms, but the upper bay died off, water is to warm, so I decided to try Sakonot Pt, for a change, now I have plenty of scup filets to last a while,Havent seen any blues out their,just skip jack in the cove, and tinker mackerel, alot of guys kayak fishing, just off the jetty, and guys in boats fly fishing for bonito, I guess.But if you like scup, its pretty hot right now out their.check out my photos at kjosr@live.com
