This summer I put together a few articles (CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR ORIGINAL STORY) about the “Montauk Monster”, a speculative creature that supposedly washed up on the beach in Montauk, only to become a highly viral email flooding inboxes world wide.  Now that the hype and excitement has subsided, the question begs to be answered… What was the final verdict on the so called Montauk Monster?  Where there are any definitive answers? Did anyone ever find the remains and allow scientists to exam it? Was it a viral marketing ad for a movie? If so what movie?

A search around the internet reveals that nothing final has come of this whole ordeal. It seems that it has just been swept under the rug.  I would like to see some closure, and I am sure you would too.  If anyone has any further information about what happened to this story, please feel free to comment below with an update…

Yesterday Brian and I joined Greg, a lifetime saltwater fisherman in Mystic for a shot at the sounds triple crown, blackfish, bluefish and stripers. We got on the water around 7am and headed out of Mystic on Greg’s 26 foot fishing machine looking for early morning stripers and blues on topwater. Before we even made it past the boats in the marinas we saw some birds working and a few splashes under them. As we got there the birds flew off and the action stopped, but we still threw some plugs and poppers, which didn’t produce a single hit.

Not seeing anything else working the surface we fished a reef near Watch Hill using umbrella rigs, tube and worm, and topwater plugs with not even a single hit. Greg assured us this was on of his top spots for catching big bass and blues, and that the fish should be here at some point in the day. After a few passes trolling we decided to reel up and head to the deeper water out at the Race. On our way out we saw hundreds of birds working so we shot over to try some more topwater, but just couldn’t get a hit, no matter what we threw at them, or what we trolled by them. Frustrated we continued on to the Race.

We trolled around Valiant Rock with umbrella rigs, and finally got a hit (a 5lb bluefish). Trolling some more resulted in nothing despite a large flock of birds working the entire area. Watching the depth finder I noticed a few fish holding tight to the bottom and no visible bait balls anywhere on the screen, so we decided to discontinue the futile trolling effort and start three-waying some bucktails.

I tied one on and dropped it down and as soon as it hit the bottom I had a fish on. Greg saw me hook up and switched to a bucktail and almost immediately hooked up too. We had a double on our first drop. Brian was using a diamond jig with no luck, so we hooked him up with a bucktail, and he hooked up with a nice blue shortly after we released ours. We bucktailed for another 30 minutes and landed a few more blues before the slack went tide and our drift turned into a crawl.

Deciding fishing would be slow for a bit we moved into Fisher’s Island Sound to try our hand at some blackfishing. We anchored up in 20 ft of water on the edge of a small submerged rock pile, and rigged up some halved green crabs. I started out using a lighter spinning rod that I had used previously blackfishing, and Greg says to me “You sure that pole is meaty enough for blackfish?” Just as I am saying yeah I have fished with it before with no problems, I get a hit and the drag goes screaming. Before I could tighten it up the fish had me in the rocks. It came out once and immediately found another hiding spot and broke me off. I switched to a heavy duty rod after that!

We were fishing off the back of the boat and Brian and I were nailing fish after fish including a few porgies and cunners, with the blackfish mixed in. Greg tried everything but just couldn’t land one that day. We even let him switch spots with Brian and still nothing… Brian did catch a few Tautogs in his spot though

We only had 3 dozen green crabs with us and the fish were biting so we ran out of bait quick. In total we landed about 10 blackfish and 5 were keepers with the biggest being around 4 lbs. When we ran out of crabs Brian and I tried some of the Berkeley Gulp sandworms and actually caught a few blackfish and porgies on them to my surprise.

After Blackfishing we decided to troll around Greg’s favorite reef by Watch Hill again, but unfortunately the swells were still ripping and the fish were no where to be found. Bucktailing that area also produced nothing but a small black sea bass.

Wanting to find that elusive striped bass to complete our triple crown, we thought about heading back out to the Race, but since we wouldn’t have much time to fish once we got out there we decided to save the gas for another time, and headed in to clean our blackfish and get on the road.

Overall we had a great time and it was really nice fishing with Greg, he really knows those fishing grounds… even though he couldn’t land a blackfish ;)… He did invite us back out on Sunday to try again, but maybe we turn down the offer so he can catch a few this time.

I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a late October day, I even got a little bit of a tan since it was mid 60’s with bright sunshine.

I got on the water around 1:30 and fished some black and blue fleck hula grubs on a 1/4 ounce jighead on the East side of the lake, with no luck in the first 30 minutes. I then decided to switch gears and hit the West shoreline since I figured the water would be a few degrees warmer from the strong morning sun.  On the way over I hit some of the submerged rock piles with no luck.

Once on the other side of the lake I started throwing watermelon cabin creek spider jigs and texas rigged senkos around my favorite deeper water docks (which aren’t so deep anymore now that the lake is down over 2 feet).  I got a strike on my third cast and landed a 2 lb largemouth bass on a jig. Hoping I had found a pattern I kept fishing the sunny side of docks on the West shore.  20 minutes went by and finally another hit, again off a deep water dock, and another 2lb largemouth.

I didn’t find any other fish on the West side, but did catch a couple smallmouth on the North shore fishing some submerged rock piles in 6 feet of water.  Senkos produced nothing no matter what color, size or presentation I threw… One of the smallmouth I caught was so dark it look black.  As I was reeling it in I actually thought it was the first freshwater tautog (a.k.a. blackfish for those who don’t know what a tautog is).

I fished for another 45 minutes on the East shore with not as much as a hit, and then I called it a day around 4:30… It wasn’t a great day but with a cold front coming through this week, lowered water levels, and cold fall water, at least I caught something.

Hopefully I will be able to get out at least one more time this year on the lake, but it may not happen if the weather continues to get colder and the lake gets more shallow.

As an angler that has fished with senkos and other soft jerk baits for almost 10 years now, I can tell you that I have tried almost every kind of imitation and knockoff lure out there in hopes of finding one that outperforms the original senko made by the yamamoto bait company. After all this “research” I can honestly tell you that not all stick baits are created equal.

First lets list a few of the senko imitators, and then we will go through the some the advantages and disadvantages of each. The list below is by no means a complete list of the generic / imitation senkos available on the market today, but merely a collection of some of the most popular brands.

Net Bait Salt Lick Worm
Strike King Ocho Soft Baits
Bass Pro Shops Tournament Series Stik-O
Berkley Gulp Sinking Minnow
Chompers Salty Sinker Worms
Kinami Flash
Luck “E” Strike Salty Elite Series Jogger Worm
Yum Dinger Worms
Strike King 3x Plastic Zero
Berkley Gulp Alive Jerk Shad

Now that we have a nice list lets go through some of the general advantages and disadvantages of the original yamamoto senko versus the list. The first advantage that we see with the yamamoto senko is its weight. Right out of the package you will feel that the senko is heavier than all of the baits in the list above. This heaviness gives the bait greater castability and lets it sink fast for fish in deeper water. The yamamoto senko also comes loaded with salt which some of the knockoffs do not have. As far as color and size selection is concerned yamamoto baits by far has the edge.

Now for some of the downfalls of the original senko. Even though these baits feel heavier and more rugged than some of the other baits, it has been my experience that they are easily torn and usually only last two or three fish. Some of the other baits like the Stick-O from Bass Pro and and the Berkley Gulp Sinking Minnow tend to hold up much better. I have caught 15 bass on a single Stick-O Lure. A second negative to the original senko is the cost. At roughly $6.99 for a bag of 10 baits, senkos are by far the most costly, giving you less bait for the buck. For a cheap alternative try the Kinami Flash which is also made by Yamamoto baits, but it is labeled under the Kinami name. For an even better value the Stick-O is about half the price for double the baits, and has a great selection of colors and sizes. I highly recommend giving them a try if you have a bass pro shops close by, or you can order them online.

One differentiating feature of some imitators versus the original senko is smell. This can be a positive or a negative depending on the situation. Obviously when the fish are feeding they can be triggered to strike solely on movement, vibration and sight, but when the fish are fickle an attractant may improve you chances of hooking up. If you aren’t catching fish with a scented bait you still get stink hand for your efforts, especially with the berkley baits.

The moral of the story is that with all of the baits listed in this article you will catch fish, but under certain circumstances one will work better than the other. I still feel that the original senko reigns supreme, but, if you want an all around good soft jerk bait without the price tag on the yamamoto baits, the Stick-O by bass pro shops is my number one choice. If you can’t get your hands on a package of Stick-O’s the Kinami flash is your next best option since they are sold locally at almost every sporting good store and walmart.

We got out on the water around 7:30am and started fishing shallow structure with everything from texas rigged senkos to spinnerbaits with no luck. After finding nothing in the shallows we went across the lake to fish deeper water and structure. Brian stuck with a senko and I switched over to a black and blue spider grub (technically it was the chompers hula grub). We both fished around the docks and pontoon boats (the ones that are still in the water) with minimal luck.

We both persevered with our respective baits and fished for about an hour with nothing more than a couple nibbles, until we got to some deeper docks on the north west shore of the lake. Just as I was commenting that I should be getting fish on spider grubs this time of year, I hooked up with a 2 pound largemouth. The next cast resulted in a 2.5lb largemouth. Having thought I found a pattern we continued fishing the deep water docks, and managed to find another 6 or seven fish including 2 smallmouth. Brian ended up landing only a smallmouth and 1 largemouth on the senko, despite his 5 hours of hard work casting and skipping his bait under the docks.

Largest fish of the day was only about 3lbs, and they were few and far between, but hopefully once our weather pattern settles down and the rain stops we will see some better fall fishing. If anyone is having success with other baits this time of the year let me know via the comments section below!

CT DEP Freshwater and Marine Fishing Reports for September 25th 2008

INLAND REPORT

TROUT

Fall Trout Stocking update- This week, DEP stocked the Shetucket River, Salmon River (including the TMA), Natchaug River, Scantic River, Hammonasset River (including the TMA), Mashapaug Lake, and the Chatfield Hollow, Mohegan Park Pond and Day Pond Trout Parks with a total of 6,000 brown trout (these fish are in the 11-14” range). The Valley Falls Park Pond Trout Park was stocked with 200 standard-size rainbow trout.

Rivers & streams – Conditions (moderate temperatures and flows) have been good for late summer/early fall trout fishing, with good reports from the West Branch Farmington, Farmington, Mill (Fairfield), Norwalk, Naugatuck and Shetucket Rivers. Fishing should continue to improve as we move deeper into autumn. As water temperatures cool, anglers can expect aggressive pre-spawn trout taking streamers with heavy hits. Try white, yellow and brown colors. Nymphing also picks up in October, and patterns to try include Midge Pupa/Larva, Brassie, Zebra Midge, Micro Mayfly, Serendipity & Copper John. Several days of rain are in the forecast, so anglers venturing out this weekend are reminded that flows in smaller tributaries typically rise quickest, but also drop back to fishable levels quickest. Anglers are also reminded that Real time stream flow data from 51 USGS gauging stations can be found at the following USGS web page: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ct/nwis/current/?type=flow

FARMINGTON RIVER - West Branch flows are currently clear and low, but will increase following completion of DEP’s annual electrofishing survey on Thursday. At that time flows at Riverton are expected to increase to 300-400 cfs. As several days of rain are expected, flows, especially below the confluence with the Still River could increase significantly this weekend. Patterns/hatches include Tricos (Trycorythodes stygiatus, #22-28, 7:00am-10:00am, Riverton Area), Isonychia bicolor (major hatch, #10-14, fast water, afternoon/evening), Blue Wing Olives (Drunella & Baetis sps., #22-28, mid-late afternoon), Cahills/Summer (Stenonema ithaca (#18-22), Sulfurs duns (Heptagenia sps., #16-20, below the dam due to low temperatures, morning; afternoon to early evening for spinners), Caddis (tan #14-18, all day; green #22-26, evening; summer pupa #18-20 morning), Midges (#22-32, morning), Black Ants (#16-18, mid day in fast water), Black Beetles (#16-18, mid day), Flying Ants (#18-22, mid day, when windy/humid) and Stone Hopper (#10-12, mid day).

Housatonic River – Conditions have been very good for early fall trout fishing, with dropping temperatures (currently in the upper 50’s°F, mornings) and clear, moderate and quite fishable flows, currently at 450 cfs in Falls Village and 690 cfs in Gaylordsville. With a significant rain event possible, flows may increase to more difficult-to-fish levels this weekend. For updated flow information, anglers can call FirstLight Power toll-free at 1-888-417-4837. Insect hatches/patterns include Blue Wing Olive (#18-26, early morning; spinner fall in evening), Leadwing Coachman (#10-12 evening), Cahills/Summer (#12-14), and Black caddis (#16, early morning & evening). Golden stonefly nymphs hatch at first light and adults egg-lay after dark, trout will ignore everything else when they are on the water. Try Black/Cinnamon Ants (#14-18, mid day in fast water), Sulfurs (#16-18), Black Beetles (#14-18, mid day), Stone Hopper (#8-10, mid day) and Flying Ants (#16-18, mid day, when windy/humid). Try nymphing the pockets, deeper riffles and pool heads.

Lakes & Ponds – Trout fishing is variable, with good reports from East Twin Lake, Wononskopomuc Lake and Crystal Lake (Ellington), fair reports from Beach Pond and Mashapaug Lake, and slow at Hogback Reservoir (West Branch Reservoir). Mixed reports from Highland Lake and West Hill Pond.

LARGEMOUTH BASS fishing is improving, but remains variable, with good reports from Aspinook Pond, Pattagansett Lake (including a 5.3 lb bass), Highland Lake (recent catches included several 5 lb pluslargemouth), Lower Bolton Lake, Mashapaug Lake, Great Hollow Pond, Winchester Lake and East Twin Lake. Fishing is reported as fair at Bashan Lake, Gardner Lake, Powers Lake, Howells Pond, Tyler Lake, Coventry Lake, Rainbow Reservoir, Mansfield Hollow Reservoir and Hatch Pond, and slow at Long Pond, Pachaug Pond, Bantam Lake, Rogers Lake (although catches do include a 5 lb bass) and Beseck Lake.

SMALLMOUTH BASS fishing is variable, with the best reports from Candlewood Lake and the Quinebaug River (upper Aspinook Pond, recent catches included a 3.1 lb smallie), fair reports from Highland Lake, West Branch Reservoir, Mashapaug Lake and Rainbow Reservoir, and slow fishing reported from Bashan Lake, Gardner Lake and Coventry Lake.

NORTHERN PIKE – Limited reports in for pike, areas to try include Bantam Lake, Winchester Lake, Mansfield Hollow Reservoir, Quaddick Reservoir and Pachaug Pond.

Fall WALLEYE action is fair. Catches reported from Saugatuck Reservoir, Gardner Lake, Mashapaug Lake, Beach Pond and Squantz Pond.

Good YELLOW PERCH action reported from Lake Hayward, Stillwater Pond, Winchester Lake, Gardner Lake, Candlewood Lake (11-14” perch), Tyler Lake and Batterson Park Pond.

CONNECTICUT RIVER – STRIPED BASS action remains good in the lower river. NORTHERN PIKE fishing is fair, with some catches reported from the Haddam Meadows/Salmon River Cove area and Wrights Cove. CARP are providing a lot of excitement for those willing to give them a try, with catches up to 15 lbs reported this week. Both LARGEMOUTH BASS and SMALLMOUTH BASS fishing have been slow. BLACK CRAPPIE are providing anglers some nice action in the coves, small shiners are favorite bait.

FISHING ACCESS & BOAT LAUNCH INFORMATION

A three-foot draw down of LAKE HOUSATONIC is currently scheduled for this weekend (9/27-9/28).

FirstLight Power is currently drawing down LAKE LILLINONAH to 3.5 feet below the normal operating range as a flood control measure in response to the potential of the Housatonic River watershed to receive 2-4 inches of rain in the next four days.

DEP has been informed that public access to ALEXANDER LAKE is no longer available.

Boat rental operations at LAKE SALTONSTALL have closed for the year. Since July, the lake has been drawn down over 5 feet to facilitate planned work includes construction of a new concrete spillway, inlets and earth embankment, and the low water levels have made boat launching and retrieval difficult and at times, hazardous. Also due to the draw down, shore fishing access is restricted to the fishing dock.

• The “seawall” area extending from the handicap-accessible fishing pier to the permitted swim area at SQUANTZ POND is currently open to fishing. Anyone with a fishing pole can now access the fence through the several gates. Anglers can also enter the water in that area (except for the one area posted “no trespassing”).

• The LAKE WARAMAUG Town Boat Launch in Washington remains open for use by the general public through the last Sunday in October. The launch will be open 3 days a week (Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays) for morning (6 am to 11 am) and late afternoon/evening (4 pm to sunset) periods of operation. Seven parking spaces are available on a first come first served basis at the launch. Additionally, up to 13 trailered boats from the Lake Waramaug State Park campground will be allowed to access the lake from the Town launch. The Town charges a $25 annual fee to launch and all boats will be inspected for invasive plants ($5 per launch inspection fee). All town fees can be paid at the boat launch.

MARINE FISHING REPORT

Water temperatures in Long Island Sound (LIS) are in the upper 60’s °F. Check out the following web sites for more detailed water temperatures and marine boating conditions:

• http://www.mysound.uconn.edu/stationstat.html
• http://marine.rutgers.edu/mrs/sat_data/?nothumbs=1
• http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/
• http://www.wunderground.com/MAR/AN/330.html

Remember to check the 2008 Connecticut Angler’s Guide for tidal information (page 52) and pages 49-51 for saltwater trophy fish award information.

BUNKER (Atlantic menhaden) remain very abundant in harbors and tidal rivers along the coastline. Bluefish have been chasing menhaden into confined areas often creating fish kills due to the lack of oxygen because of the excess number of fish.

BLUEFISH and STRIPED BASS fishing remains good off the Watch Hill reefs, Napatree Point to Sandy Point (Stonington), Mystic River, Ram Island Reef (Fishers Island Sound), Thames River, the Race, Sluiceway, Pigeon Rip, Plum Gut, Bartlett Reef, Black Point, outer humps off Hatchett Reef, lower Connecticut River, Long Sand Shoal, Cornfield Point, Southwest Reef, Duck Island area, Sixmile Reef, Falkner Island area, the reefs off Branford, New Haven Harbor, Charles Island to Milford Point, Buoys 18 and 20 off Stratford/Bridgeport, Bridgeport Harbor, Stratford Shoal/Middle Ground, the reefs off Norwalk, Cable and Anchor Reef, the Cows off Stamford, and Greenwich Harbor.

SNAPPER BLUES are still around with a JACK CREVALLE or two in the mix.

HICKORY SHAD fishing is good in the Niantic River and the Connecticut River (DEP Marine Headquarters fishing pier)

SCUP (porgy) fishing remains good to excellent on the local reefs. Remember, the last day for scup fishing is September 26 (closed September 27-May 23).

Reports of little tunny (false albacore) have been coming in from the Montauk Point, NY to Watch Hill, RI.

This year the fair is not only offering the usual funnel cakes, fried dough, corn dogs, candy apples, and cotton candy, but also providing fair goers the opportunity to feast on delicacies like lobster rolls, buffalo steak sandwiches, pad thai noodles, and jambalaya… This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg though, a complete lineup of all that the stands offer can be found here http://www.durhamfair.org/content/580/default.aspx.

Along with the food, they have numerous livestock shows and competitions, carnival rides, baking contests, concerts, tractor pulls, and even pig races some years. There are plenty of things to do to keep you occupied!

The only problem this year is that it is supposed to raining all weekend long. This still won’t keep me and my buddies from visiting the fair grounds and dawning our ponchos and umbrellas, afterall the Durham Fair only comes around once a year…

****UPDATE****

The Durham fair will definitely be held rain or shine this weekend and will NOT be cancelled because of the rain and wind according to a press released statement by Michelle LaPointe who is the Durham Fair Marketing Director.  Here a quote from her recent statement:

“Really not much changes for us. We still encourage people to come because we still have indoor events for them to attend,” LaPointe said.

LaPointe said the midway, entertainment and some offsite parking lots at the Durham Fair could be affected by the rain. She encourages people to stop out despite the rain. Umbrellas and other Durham Fair rain gear will be available for purchase at the event.

The way I see it, the rain will give a great chance for attendees to experience shorter lines at the fair!
