4/25/25 Dancing Worms!
While the start to the fishing season has been a bit slower compared to recent years, we're starting to see some encouraging reports. The water temperature has risen noticeably over the past few days, and anglers are landing striped bass ranging from smaller sizes up to 28 inches. The Breachways' and the West Wall have produced a few catches. We anticipate that fishing will pick up significantly very soon, with larger numbers of fish moving into our coastal waters. Sometimes, the best way to get a report is to head out and experience it yourself!
I've spent some time in the salt pond this week and have observed a lot of bait activity, including silversides, small rain bait, and schools of mummichogs. With the recent warm weather, we've already seen two cinder worm hatches in the innermost coves of Ninigret and Greenhill. Although there haven't been reports of fish feeding on them yet, it's likely just a matter of time. We have a diverse selection of unique cinder worm imitations available, so please feel free to stop by and take a look.
Regarding lures for this time of year, we recommend using single hooks rather than treble hooks, primarily due to the presence of many juvenile fish. White and bone-colored lures have traditionally been very effective in the spring. Popular choices include bucktails, Al Gags Whip-Its, Storm Shads, and topwater spooks and poppers like Atoms and Jumpin' Minnows. When fishing with bucktails, using a teaser can be advantageous given the abundance of small baitfish.
With the weather warming and dandelions blooming tautog will start moving close to shore in preparation for spawning. They can be caught from various rocky shorelines. They are happy to take crabs, clam, and sandworms this time of year.
