Last Saturday, my wife and I trolled tube and worm rigs in Long Island Sound, more specifically around Fishers Island. It's normally a very leisurely way to connect with a lot of stripers this time of year. Only landed and released one, 32" if I stretch the truth a little. Lost two others. People were diving nearby and said there were a lot of bass around. I dunno.
After the tide tuned outgoing, the scup would steal your worm as soon as you let out line, sometimes 20' behind the boat. We weren't there to feed the scup! PITA to keep checking lines and exhausting an expensive supply of bait.
Might go out later today for fluke and stay until dark to fish live eels for bass.
