O'sullivan's 4/29 night fish
Message:
I went out to the mouth of the Housy tonight after I got out of work. Got there at around 8pm to fish the 1030pm low tide. There were a handful of people there at the time dunkin' some bait. There were PLENTY of baitfish swimming around and breaking water. I threw a FLR-10 silver shad, SXR-10 silver ghost, and Storm 5" bunker swim bait. I only managed a few light hits on the FLR-10 which were probably the shad. I saw two guys on the Naugy side land one keeper each. That was the only action I saw for the 2 1/2 hrs I was out there. I'm not sure where the fish were since I was literally standing in schools of baitfish. I'm going to try to get back out there tomorrow and see if I can get my 1st striper of the year. I may even try dunkin' some bait while I cast my lures.

I been fishing that area frequently and worms are taking almost 100% of the fish from what I'm seeing.

I was on the Housy last night, as well, just upstream a bit in Derby. I landed one 26 incher. I was using something that I rigged up a few years ago. I use a white bucktail (which is a leap of faith on the Housatonic River bottom) topped off with a fluke-style Storm. Damn fish was completely still while I walked him uip the river bank, then when I went to remove the hook he went all sorts of crazy, causing me to drop my pole. The ceramic guide at the tip of my pole broke, effectively ending my evening of fishing. I tend to find that worms are more productive early in the season from shore, especially as you go downstream from the dam.
