WesternSound Albies














 





 







A pretty ideal mixed bag out there in the salty stuff.

Pictured in the spread are a collection of Freemasons hailing from the WesternSound: C. Lee, Dragon Slayer Bernstein, Pete Henderson and yours truly.

We've found decent counts of Striped fish holding on inshore rips. Obviously the East Wind can go kick rocks. Water temps have beeb high for much of September, making the tug a bit more elusive then ususal. But fish on - prime time these next two weeks.

The kids have been fishing west of BPT exclusively, but word on the street is Milford is primed for the striped fish and Tuna species.

 Inshore bait has been good for those wading. Sillversides, mullet, peanuts and an occasional school of adults. Tucking inside the Norwalk Islands has been the play when it's blowing for the boats, working Cockenoe, Sheffield and Sprite. Speaking of the Islands...

On the Tuna front it's been Albacore jamming out on mid day tides.

Sunday Style


This is why I don't wet wade.


Two misses pre dawn on slider, two to beach on gurgler.



Striper food


Gold star for getting up and giving it a go at low tide.




Tip of the cap to Pete V. for the spread.

Vaya Con Dios


Goodbye July.







Crabby aint shabby.







Cody & Kronic got it in throughout July.



Nightrider city is the tune of the month.




Captian Cody looking for bunky.














Love the ladder lifestyle. Keep you clowns posted. Stuff is no joke, light bottoms and serious spotting potential.

The worried looks of beachgoers as I pass carrying a 4-foot metal step ladder wearing a camo buff is to die for.






Montana sweetwater.

"Bonus" Fish Program

The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced the establishment of the Connecticut River Bonus Striped Bass Program to allow anglers to take "bonus" fish in a size range (at least 22 inches in length but shorter than 28 inches) outside the current recreational minimum length for stripers in Connecticut (28 inches). The program takes advantage of an unused commercial quota for striped bass and will allow anglers to take an additional 4,025 striped bass (stripers) from the Connecticut River.


Send these bonus fish to the West.
