The MSSA is working to provide a unified voice to preserve and protect the rights, traditions and the future of recreational fishing. NO UNITY – NO VOICE – NO FISH! The newsletter usually starts with a fishing report and will this month. However, it will be a short report because of all the activities that are taking place between now and our meeting in October. Fish are starting to school up real good and Rockfish and Bluefish are everywhere. Also, in the mid and lower Bay there are reports of Trout being caught under these breaking fish. Just look for feeding gulls and work that area, but don’t run your boat through the birds. If you can’t find any gulls working, check out areas that have drop offs and keep a sharp eye on your fish finder. Looks like we might have good fall fishery.
