Striped bass have inundated south shore beaches from east to west, albies blitz in the eastern Sound and tautog fishing is good off the north fork and the west end.

Towards the end of the fall run, as temperatures drop and bass grow scarce, the fishermen tend to quit before the fish do.

The fall run finds a smorgasbord of bait, from bay anchovies to bunker, cruising the surf for stripers to enjoy on their long journey south.

Surfcasters across the Northeast share the staple striper lures that never leave their plug bags during the fall run of striped bass.

Fluke fishing shows an improvement from the past few weeks, and bottom fishing the Long Island Sound yields limits of sea bass and more.
