Report for Long Island Sound

The rains returned to our area after a short-lived day or two of sunshine. And it's still pretty cold! Ed Cosinski and his friend, Dr. Steve Bender--both from New York City--had a fine day Thursday bringing in striped bass and keeper fluke, all caught on worms. On Friday Marc Pfefferle of Westport brought three of his colleagues for an afternoon charter; the skies looked very threatening as we started out, but the sun managed to break through the clouds for most of the trip. While fishing around the Norwalk Islands they did well with schoolie bass and large fluke. When we moved to 11B they jigged up striped bass up to 33" and bluefish up to 9 pounds. Then they brought in a few more bass at the OB, with a grand total of 20 nice fish.
