Striped bass keeping fishermen busy

• Bluefish — They're here in decent numbers, but are in full force in The Race and Plum Gut. Chunks and live lining is the best choice, but jigs are taking them, too.
• Striped bass — Many schoolies still in the Housatonic and Saugatuck rivers. Bigger fish are starting to show up off the beaches. Large Danny-type plug are taking some keepers.
• Flounder — Fading fast. Fluke — Consistent catches reported at Charles Island bar and the Housatonic breakwater.(Charles Walsh, Connecticut Post).
