10/19/2009 Fishing was good today. I had 10 fish on plugs o 25 pounds, none less than 14. Good action. The next two days should be real good and then when the weather turns nasty on Friday into Saturday it should be great. Starting to kick butt..... Captain Al Lorenzetti
Date Caught: 10-17-2009 Location: Fire Island I was able to sneak out for an hour here and there and landed some nice fish. First trip had 3 fish to 39lbs on Shad. Second trip had fish to 35lbs on Shad and then last night had fish to 34lbs on Eels. Weather and wind is difficult but fish are on the move. ---Gary Arnold
I fished today with Captain Dave Zarrello. We had a beautiful day and did OK with the bass. We had fish on plugs and bait. Here is a plugged fish taken with a Gary Soldati "Pearl" giant pike plug. These plugs really work great in fast water. A few shad have begun to appear and I think that is why the white plugs are working best now. When they are around white is always hot. When the bunker are around yellow is best. When they are all around then anything you throw in the water works best. This Northeaster is really going to turn things on. The bait is going to pour out of the bay. It has already started. The next four weeks should be excellent fishing. Now is when the big fish will turn to live bait and big plugs. The clams will mostly catch the schoolie fish. Now is the time for a trohpy. Another good day on the water. Captain Al Lorenzetti
