All trips going forward through winter 25/26’ we will be targeting, Blackfish (tautog) & Striped Bass on the Housatonic River!
Report 11/20/2025
Blackfishing is still firing in shallow and especially on our deeper pieces of structure in Long Island Sound. The quantity seems to have waned a tad, but the quality of the tog and even Black Sea Bass has been excellent! Blackfish/Sea Bass trips will continue through at least Christmas!
The migratory Striped Bass are making their way back down south for winter and just about all of the surface activity out in the sound is basically over, until spring. Indeed, it is sad to see them go in the salt but luckily for us here in Connecticut, we have several river systems that provide very healthy and robust “winter holdover striped bass” populations. Instead, of making their way down to the Chesapeake, these resident fish spend their winters, locally in our river systems letting us catch striped bass in every month of the calendar year, here in CT! If you are like me and won’t let old man winter, keep you from bending a rod - this fishery is for you! We are already seeing most of the larger resident fish stage in the brackish sections, up river. These fish will continue to push up river over the coming weeks, while densely schooling together for winter. Thanksgiving week looks mild, and perfect weather for fishing the river, by boat. Give me a ring for more info! Hope to see you aboard, soon.
