June spectacular!!!!

July Fishing Report – Stripers Slow Down, The Reefs Heat Up July has brought a change of pace to the **Long Island Sound fishing scene**. The striped bass bite in our area has started to slow down, but the fishing certainly hasn’t slowed down with it. If anything, the **reef fishing has gotten a whole lot more interesting.** The **black sea bass are showing up strong**, and we’re seeing some absolute knuckleheads coming over the rail. These are quality fish that put a serious bend in the light-tackle rods and give anglers plenty of reason to keep fishing the deeper structure. Then there are the **big porgies**. We’re finding some real **hubcap-sized porgies, or golden sea bream**, showing up on the shallower reefs. They hit hard, pull surprisingly well, and make for some great light-tackle action. And we’re also getting into some **quality fluke**. The summer flounder bite has been producing some nice fish mixed into the reef action, adding another quality species to the list and keeping everyone guessing about what’s coming over the rail next. That’s what makes **July fishing out of Cedar Island Marine in Clinton, Connecticut** so much fun. Conditions change, fish move, and we adjust. Instead of spending the day waiting for a trolling rod to go off, our anglers are **holding the rod, working the structure and actually fighting the fish.** **Stripers slowing? Maybe. Fishing slowing? Not even close.** Right now, the **Long Island Sound reefs are producing big black sea bass, large porgies, quality fluke and opportunities for striped bass**, depending on the conditions. July is shaping up to be a great month for **light-tackle fishing, reef fishing and multiple species out of Clinton, CT.** **One More Drift Charters** Long Island Sound Fishing Cedar Island Marine – Clinton, Connecticut **Striped Bass • Black Sea Bass • Porgy • Fluke • Light-Tackle Reef Fishing**

June Fishing Report – One More Drift Charters June was an **epic month for striped bass** on Long Island Sound. The bigger fish really started showing up on the deeper reefs, and when the tide and conditions lined up, the striper action was hard to beat. We spent a lot of time working **deeper structure and reefs**, targeting striped bass with light tackle and putting the rods in our customers’ hands. There were some quality fish around, with plenty of hard-fighting bass keeping everyone busy. As June progressed, **black sea bass numbers really started picking up** as well. Mixed in with the stripers, the sea bass provided plenty of action and kept the rods bent when we moved around looking for the bigger bass. The best part of June was seeing anglers get to experience these fish the way they should be caught — **casting, jigging and working the structure instead of sitting around waiting for a trolling rod to go off.** The deeper reefs are producing, the black sea bass are getting more active, and summer fishing is officially underway. **June was a good one. July should be even better.** — Captain Joe **One More Drift Charters** Long Island Sound Fishing | Cedar Island Marine, Clinton, CT
