RBO FISHING REPORTS NOVEMBER 15th 2019
The arctic blast this week reminded me of what is to come. The days I did get out, give me some success. I was able to land a few Stripers in the surf. I did make a trip to the Mianus River in CT this past Monday with a few good friends. I didn’t have any luck but Kenny the hat and the TU boys, Pete and Joe, were able to bring a few trout to the net. I took a walk over at MacDonald’s Pond and there I found trout close to shore trying to make redds. They will not be able to spawn but it was good to see them there and if the pond stays ice free, we might have action all winter long. In the surf, reports are of large schools of Stripers in the mid 20-inch range, feeding on sand eels. A call from Salty Joe reporting the north Nassau bays are loaded with schoolie bass but all the action is during the daylight hours. Once it becomes dark the bite stops. Most Captain have put the boats away for the season, but Capt. Dave Flanagan has switch over to bottom fishing and has been posting photos of his clients limiting out on Blackfish and Seabass. To the west, Captain John McMurray is finding large bass not to far from shore and the action could last past Thanksgiving. We are heading north to the Salmon River, looking for the Steelhead. The reports are mixed, but you have to be there because it can change daily. Success or not, it is always better to be outside then sitting on the couch.
