After eating and drinking our way through Italy for two weeks Captain Robin Calitri is back on the fishing scene. The action on the north Shore is hot. Joe Spinela, with some coaching from veterans Mitch Bernstein and Emory Butts, was high hook with blues and bass. On Tuesday Joel, Karen and Charlie Weiss had a fine evening trip with blues and bass on light gear. Karen was the bass mistress. Most of the action was from Bayville west to Hempstead Harbor. My new Scout 235 makes long runs easy and safe. On Wednesday, I hosted Bill Herzig and his grandchildren; Allison, Ashley and Andrew out of Northport. It was a tough day but 6 year old Andrew came through with a nice fluke while Ashley took a nice blue. We found fish but we had many lost and some tackle buster blues who ate our line and lures. Jim Del Grosso reports that the back bays of the east end are holding keeper bass for the fly rodders. Mike, formally of Warren's Archery in Selden reports that buctailing in Plum Gut is yielding large stripers in good numbers.
Scot Calitri Reports that the Merrimack River in northern Mass is producing bass like crazy will tons of schoolies on the fly and some nice keepers on large clousers, olive over white stripped very fast. Ben Breiger was the spinning king on a recent trip with dad mike.
