The Benmar Fishing Report

A nice group from Syracuse who have been out on the BENMAR before, came down for the weekend for trips today and tomorrow out to the reefs for bass.  Today’s trip involved some heavy fog in the morning so Capt. George made his first stop at a spot near Mystic harbor.  The group bagged a couple of nice keeper bass plus a decent sized blackfish.  As the tide started to turn, the group changed locations to a rockpile out by Watch Hill.  The fishing was a bit spotty but three more nice keeper bass were added to the cooler along with some fat porgies.  The blues weren’t around like yesterday but there were a couple of “cutoffs” that were probably the work of the “choppers”.  They plan to get an early start tomorrow to fish the incoming tide from the start.
