We're definetly seeing some improvements in the Muscongus Bay area Striper fishery.
The fishing has been best near the bottom of the tides fishing along the edges of the mud flats in 1.5-3.5 feet of water. I've been spending a considerable amount of time in these area's...most of it spent poling the skinny after waking fish. We're not seeing huge numbers of fish, but we are seeing some nice slot size fish, some bigger than slot too!!! From what I have been finding the fish have been feeding on tiny grass shrimp, despite the large amount of herring available to them. Crab & shrimp type flies will work...weirdly enough...topwater baits have been producing violent strikes. It's time to bust out my secret shrimp gurgler fly that I originally designed for night time Snookin' in South Florida.
On the spin...rebel jumpin' minnows, zara spooks & chug bugs have been working well.
Reservations continue to come in for the 2008 season...ask for our "Early Bird" & "Evening" Blitz trips. Call today to set up a time!!!
