Captain Gary Corsetti was fishing the Race in NY today while being filmed by Trevor Gowdy. The first fish was 58 pounds and that was followed by a fish that pegged the 60 pound scale. Last week another one of his sports took a 57. The big fish are obviously around, but in select locations.
Interestingly enough they're not only in the deep, swift water of the race. I filmed 40's, 50's and a BIG SOW at Cuttyhunk last week...in little current, in 8 feet of water. The biggest fish was in under 6 feet of water only a few yards from shore.
Now if weather will only be kind enough to let us fish, I think we'll see some big fish being taken right through November and perhaps December.
Don't get me wrong, I think there are problems in Paradise and we need to be very involved in legislation that protects menhaden, herring and other key prey items.
