River's End Tackle, 4/10/09

STRIPED BASS-- Schoolie action in the Connecticut River is still in the beginning stages with the exception of Hamburg Cove. Worms are producing smallish bass at Saybrook Point and the DEP Piers. It looks like we are going to have a few days of rain over the next week and that won't help the flooding and mudding of the River. Next week is the traditional starting of migrating bass in the Connecticut River and I don't think that the weather is going to stop that trip. I think it'll be worth a shot to try along Great Island. If that don't produce you can head up to Hamburg, just watch for logs.
WINTER FLOUNDER-- Nada first hand reports this week. Some third hand reports of a few flats in the Niantic River.
BLACKFISH-- Same thing, even spoke to some divers who didn't see any. They could show up any day though.
