Saturday we fished SWR and Cranes. didn't do anything at SWR but found a few fish at Cranes. drifted live eels for a few hits but not nearly as good as the guys with live bunker or shad. ended up with 1 at 40" and 1 at 32". Lost 3 to the couple of novice anglers that let the bass break off by going under the boat and around the motor.  . Very frustrating as I wanted so see them get the fish.Sunday I worked my ass off covered around 50 miles in the rough water and hit every sopt I know from the mouth of the CT river to 6 mile and back. Could not find fish. Tried dragging wire in a bunch of places but most of the water was void of bait or signs of life. I have never seen such a lack of bait in the Westbrook area. lately I have to go over to Old Saybrook or all the way west to Falkners before I see any life on the FF. | ||

| Bruce, I had noticed a couple weeks ago that the bait was moving off LSS. I have seen bait in close in the harbors during this past week.

| You are lucky you see bait in Guilford, up until Saturday I hadn't seen any, but it's starting to look up. I saw some decent bunker schools Saturday morning. | ||

| Stripy, we found bunker schools right on top of North Rip on Friday. Lots of big blues under them. Faulkners area always seams to have fish for me. | ||

| Bruce, I'm def doing something wrong. I work north rip all the time, i live 10 minutes from the guilford docks and I've gotten less than 5 blues this year in the sound!!!!!!!! I'm actually trying to catch blues! I go to RI, whole different story. I may try the rip tonight, or I may go blue crabbing, or both! | ||

| Frank, I don't see any difference at the town dock. Usable but be careful of the edge.
