Update 9-16-07


Last night spent the lat 2 hours of high tide and the first 6 of the outgoing tide on the end of the breachway again. The fishing was a little more sporatic but I noticed the abundance of peanut bunker and silversides throughout the waterway. Caught 3 striped bass (all under 28 inches unfortunately) and 2 nice bluefish. It was a good night, a little cold, but no moon to speak of. It won't be long and the stripers will be making the run from Maine to the southern US, so hopefully the fishing report will get a little better.

September 29

Caught the last 2 hours of incoming tide, and stayed for the duration of the outgoing tide, The fish were there, primarily small schoolie stripers and 12-16 inch bluefish. We fished 14 eeels throughout the night. Water was a beautiful sheet of glass (wind off land) When the incoming tide started to slow down to go to slack tide, I was fishing the beach side of the point (rock wall basically lining the breachway) and the drag started peeling off. I set back and let him run about 20 yards and yanked back setting the hook. After about a 10 minute fight, I was awarded with a beautiful 34" Striped bass. Overall it weighed about 22 pounds give or take a pound. Nice fat fish that yielded 2 beautiful filets for enjoyment on a later date. Hopefully with the lower air temperatures, and water temperatures the fall run will begin soon and the monsters will start coming in more solidly.
