I drove all over the sound and to Long Island just to burn off some old gas. I saw bunker schools mid sound, as well as a chain gang of boats trolling the reefs.
Later on, I jumped on my buddy James's--> norwalkislandsfishing.com boat after I can back to the dock and we fished till dark. We hit up many of the usually haunts in the rips with high hopes and got 1-2 small cookie cutter sized bass. It wasn't until we explored a mudflat that we really saw the most action. There were schoolies pushing bait against the grass, and egrets there to pick out the bait.
We had a consistant bite going on poppers and popper flies. It was a great time. We ended up with probably 10-15 fish in total all around the 20-23" size. Some were a little chunkier than others.
