September Night Stripers on the Long Island Sound - 9-2-14

 Yesterday night after work, I targeted stripers for the first time since May withGeorge Terezakis in the western Long Island Sound. We fished the rocks near Mattinicock, NY from kayaks. One of the few benefits of living on Long Island is the quick access to good saltwater kayak fishing. Within a 20 minute drive, we access some really nice beaches within an easy paddle to the boulder fields of the Sound. We had good success and caught several schoolie stripers. The stripers will be transitioning soon to the harbors and a good bite on plastics and metal occurs for the next two months. With 92 degree temps during the day, it was really nice to be out on the Sound with a cool breeze on the water . . . . not too many nights like this left now. As always, good fishing with George. Below is a picture of typical stripers from last night.
