Sea Bass Opener

Who's gonna be the first to take the ride south and come back with some BSB? When does it usually turn on?

Is NY open?

Trying to find out that myself Jon.

Best early bite in CT is at the Mattituck Sill

NY Opens 6/27.

So...what's the strategy? If you get boarded in NY, claim that you're porgy fishing, and that the seabass in the cooler were caught in CT? Last year, there was a fleet of boats in NY waters in May.

6/27 was last year's reg.

Everywhere I look on-line, it says 6/27.

Look at the date. It says 2016

I agree, but that's what shows under the 2017 Regulations, and I can't find anything different anywhere else. Let us know if you find something different.

Hoping to get t tomorrow for some early bsb. Missed the entire short black fish season boat just went in Monday morning. I'm thinking about south of fishers ot Bartlett or hatchet going out of old saybrook any advice would be great thanks!

I'd head west towards Clinton/Westbrook . West has been best during May lately .

Ended up at the rocks between Kelsey point and six mile reef. Gorgeous day water was beautiful outside the ct river one little sea robin to show for out there. Water is still 48 degrees!!! Got a little schoolie in the river and a little bugger catfish on some worms. Super windy out still though all in all fun though!
