Salt ponds perking

Flounder fishing season opens Saturday on the salt ponds, and fish must be 12 inches long to keep.

Al Conti of Snug Harbor Marina recommends fishing slopes at the head of Point Judith Pond. Ron Mouchon of Breachway Bait & Tackle suggests fishing the narrows in both Point Judith and Ninigret ponds. In Connecticut, there have been scattered reports of flounder biting near Enders Island, the Mystic River, and some of the coves around Stonington, said Don Michaud of King Cove Outfitters.

A slug of small stripers has moved into Ninigret Pond, said Mouchon. Schoolies are also biting in Cemetery Cove on the Pawcatuck River, according to Michaud. Conti reports that the bite at the West Wall hasn’t been consistent.

We took a trip to go squiddin near Goat Island in Newport last night with Zero action. We took the boat and set up in line with the middle of the bridge while everyone else hung at the of the bridges. We relocated thinking that maybe the end of the bridge is where we needed to be again zero action. We never heard of any catches in the 3 hours we worked the area.
