Sports Port

We spoke with an upbeat Chris from the Sports Port who told us about the great albie and bonito fishing off Craigville along with stripers dumping out of the rivers and harbors and moving down the Sound coastline. Quite a few of their customers were taking advantage of the great bite in the canal where loads of schoolies, a few slots and some oversized bass were being taken via a variety of methods. There were many customers coming in for green crabs and heading for their favorite rockpiles. A few of them have honey holes inside the numerous cracks and tunnels inside the canal. Freshwater fishing has been excellent with baits and lures taking some big largies and pickerel in nearby ponds. By the way most of the local waters have been stocked with trout. They are open seven days a week.

The word from Chris from the Sports Port was of numerous customers heading for the canal as the word was out early on the great bite that was taking place from the east to west end. While many of the stripers were schoolies some of them were well over the legal size. There were bones and schoolies making their way along the south bays and being caught along those shorelines. The freshwater fishing has been very good in most ponds and with this drop in temperatures he believes both fresh and saltwater fishing will catch fire in the next few weeks.
