October 13th, 2018 Blitzs, Bill, Brian, Blues, Burts, and Stripers too!

Bill with his first Albie

Started out fishing at 6:30.  We didn't even have to leave the slip to come across schoolie size bass and tailor blues attacking the huge school of peanut bunker.  We spent about an hour messing around with these little guys.  Then shot out to behind the islands to cast plugs for stripers, but we were not that successful, most likely due to the fact that it was almost dead low tide.
We then headed to Westport (thanks to a friend who called us) to look for albies.  We instantly came a cross multiple pods, and began chasing them around a bit.
Then the schools broke up a bit and spread out, which made getting a cast into them more difficult.  Once we did, we started hooking up.  The birds were hot on the tails of any albie action beginning to erupt, which is something I have not witnessed on the CT side locally up until now.  I did see it on the LI side, however prior.  The wind kicked up from the West, and so did the waves.  We headed in for 12 with 2 albies, multiple small blues and multiple small stripers under our belt for the day.

Didn't have to go far to find awesome action
