FISHING REPORT --- October 29, 2010
STRIPED BASS --- Its still the Shoal for the most local reliability and that's normal for this time of year. Long Sand Shoal has held bass, mostly schoolies until Christmas some years. Most of the action there has been on drifted eels or trolled bucktails. Hatchetts had some bass this week on the surface and with drifted eels.
School bass are being taken along the Harkness to New London shoreline, a few from shore, most from boats trolling. No word from the Race or Plum Gut.
Some schoolies have been in the Connecticut River under the Causeway Bridges.
The schoolie run on the Southside of Montauk has slowed with most of those fish heading west along the sand beaches.

BLUEFISH --- The Race has a good pick of mixed sizes of blues, but Long Sand Shoal still has the monsters. A few bigger blues are being caught from the mouth of the Connecticut River.

BLACKFISH --- We've seen a slowing down of good reports this week. It seems that the shallow breakwaters have been pretty picked over. The best reports are still coming in from Fishers Island Sound.
