The Saltwater Edge

Over at The Saltwater Edge they have been hearing reports of some very good fishing for striped bass around the islands. Both surf and boat anglers are doing well, and the fish have been feeding on bait in tight to structure. There have been reports of green bonito in the area but the false albacore seem to have moved off for now. Tautog reports are improving and will continue to get better as we get further into the month of October. There are good number of black sea bass around, a lot of them are short but some keepers are being caught.

Over at The Saltwater Edge they heard reports of some pretty good fishing for striped bass from the shore this past week. Surfcasters were able to find hungry bass along with some bluefish in protected areas that were sheltered from the wind and waves. Aside from that, it was a slow week fishing wise with boaters staying tied to the dock. With the storm expected to clear out early in the week, fall fishing should pick back up soon for striped bass, bluefish, tautog and black seabass. Hopefully we will also still have some false albacore and green bonito around.
