Fisher’s Island Sound Blackfish and a trip to the race for bluefish and striped bass Yesterday Brian and I joined Greg, a lifetime saltwater fisherman in Mystic for a shot at the sounds triple crown, blackfish, bluefish and stripers.

CT fall fishing is upon us and largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing has been slow at best lately. I have seen reports of people working hard for every bass they catch, with most success being found using spider jigs, tubes, and jig and pig around structure in 5-8ft of water.
