Well to say things were slow (for Bass, Albies and Bonito) the past few days would be an understatement. Fly fishing and light tackle plugs did not fair well the past few days. The upcoming storm definitely did not help as boaters were all running around trying to get out of the water causing all sorts of surface commotion. We found lots of bait, some Turns working, but just no fish chasing them. This is the time when the funny fish start to show so maybe the hurricane will spark a nice feed next week.
On the bright side, fluke fishing continues to do well as with the sea bass. Bottom fishing does not change dramatically with various weather patterns in this area. Remember, this was in one specific location so don't take this report as a given for all locations. I know Cape Cod is still producing Bass with Tubing worms and Bonito and tuna are still being caught in numerous locations (Cape Cod), just not in Newport. I am actually looking forward to getting out next week when things get tossed around a bit. I will keep you posted as we make our way into one of my favorite times of the year! Tuna, Bonito, Albies and the Fall Striper run. Oh yeah, don't forget about that hard fighting Tautog!
Until then, be safe and let us all hope the storm passes with no injuries to anyone!
Sincerely,
Capt. Brian Patterson
