Know where the fish are before getting on the water. Captain Sam Fekete is dedicated to providing clients with the most up-to-date and precise information regarding fish patterns and reports. Reports are written twice a week to ensure clients have enough information to plan their trip accordingly, as well as allow local fisherman to get a better understanding of the surrounding waters and learn about Migratory Striped Bass patterns. Striped bass specifically are very pattern-oriented fish. Every good bass fisherman carries a log with him or her, tracking the progression of the fish throughout the season to allow anglers the best chance at hooking into a monster striped bass.
As we reach the “peak” of the summer temperatures, the bass fishing around Old Saybrook has slowed down in the river drastically due to water temperature. It is hot as the past week we have seen temperatures well into the 80s and 90s. There is plenty of bait to be found in the river as…
The striped bass are still here and settled in to the sound for the summer. The “hot bite” has ended as the water temperatures continue to rise with this heat wave we have suffered through this past week. The bass bite in the river is still there but pretty slow. Water temperatures in the river…
This past week has shown another round of solid fishing. As the water temperature in the river continues to rise, the bite is definitely getting slower. Getting out early in the morning has made a difference in the number of bites we are getting compared to an afternoon trip. It seems that those river fish…
For this past week of fishing, we have been hitting the Striped Bass fishing hard in the river. The bite has exploded and we are starting to see some really nice-sized fish come out of warm water. Lots of the fish we are catching in the river are covered in sea lice, which is a…
The fishing report for this week contains similar information to last week. Striped Bass fishing in the river has been on fire this past week. We have been seeing some huge feeds on schools of bunker all throughout the river. Bunker is starting to become easier to find for those who know how to get…
What another fantastic week of fishing here in the Long Island Sound!! The bass fishing this year is the best it has been in years. In and out of the CT river, the Sound is absolutely stockpiled with Striped Bass all the way from Norwalk to Old Saybrook and beyond. We are catching fish of…
This past week of fishing has been excellent! The water temperature at the mouth of the CT river is sitting around 70-71 degrees and continues to rise. We are starting to see some bigger fish being caught out at the mouth of the river and on some local reefs. Most of the bigger fish have…
Welcome back to Twenty4Seven fishing reports for the 2022 fishing season! I am excited to be back running the boat again and getting back on the water. This week the fishing in the CT river has started to get consistent. Day after day the bite is getting better and the fish are getting bigger. The…
First of all, I would like to preface this report with a large THANK YOU to everyone who reads them! I slowed down on the reports because it wasn’t getting much attention. THANK YOU to you guys! A huge shoutout to everyone who made this season what it was. From all the great people I…
For late July, the bite all around has remained great for us. We have been crushing over slot size bass almost every morning locally which has been fantastic, and watching the acrobatic show of a striped bass destroying a bunker… nothing better. With the constant rain and fog that we have experienced the last week…
