Fishers Island opens up
Anglers fishing the back of Fishers Island are starting to catch both fluke and striped bass, says Don Michaud of King Cove Outfitters in Stonington. The waters off Isabella Beach had been disappointing until this weekend when the bite began to blossom.
Some very large bass have been taken on the reefs of Long Island Sound, he says.
That's where divers are spearing monster bass, according to Don.

Party boats score with fluke
Yesterday was the best fluke-fishing day this season for numbers and size of fish, according to the skippers of the Frances Fleet of party boats.
"The action was hot right out of the box and it stayed that way until the engines started signaling the end of the day." they said. Among the catch were several jumbo fluke.
Mike and Tony Tilleli each caught a limit of large fluke, including six jumbos.
The hot rig was a hi-lo set-up.
Sea bass and scup are also biting along the beaches.
