Gator blues hit everything from diamond jigs to topwater plugs, scup dominate the bottom fishing scene, and stripers take bunker chunks and live eels around New London.
Gator blues gorge on peanut bunker throughout the Sound, scup and sea bass fishing remains fantastic, and big bass take bunker chunks in deep water at night.
Stripers enjoy a baitfish buffet in the eastern Sound, scup and sea bass fill coolers for bottom fishermen, and double-digit bluefish take diamond jigs in deep water.
Striper fishing quieted a bit in some locations, but in others, where schools of bass are staging as they wait for the big full moon tides to aid their migration north, this fishing continues to be excellent.
