I dunno, the boat guys at a few locations are hammering some big fish according to some intel from last nite - may be taking a boat ride with the King of Clams to check it out

Monday nite I was out til 3 and it's starting to feel like somebody finally flipped the switch - it didn't have that summer feel although both air and water temps are still high for this time of year - just waiting for bigger baits - but it was definitely more active, which is why I was keeping burglar's hours

Autopsied the fish I kept for the grill and the stomach contents were nada even thought she had that plus-size shape......

Hey, nothing wrong with a little junk in the trunk...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

It's been worse than slow for me fishing the Westport area.

Even Big Fish plugs are failing me. Just kidding Larry!

Went out this morning... some "choppy".

Hit the canal a few early mornings this week. Each day progressively saw more bait and top water action. I even got rid of the jinx and caught a couple small keepers and big bluefish.

Amount of bait I'm seeing is amazing. Small herring, pogies and macks, all in the 4-6" range. Tuna don't prowl the canal unless bait is prevalent.

With all the N/NW/NE winds, we'll start seeing some more consistent action (topwater too I hope) in the coming week. Lets hope it starts tonite because I'm heading out for an all nighter.

Nice fish guys!

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
