).

strictly catch & release in that area!

Years ago we use to fish off the docks at the Conrail power plant, but I'm guessing with all the homeland security stuff these days that you probably can't get in there anymore.

If you can get out to the Jetty I would fish it with chunks based on the amount of Bunker and nice arcs I marked on my way out to the sound the other day. They won't be there for long this time of year.

I assume you are talking about the jetty with the Red light tower on it. That is a treacherous jetty. Wouldn't recommend waslking out on that. Probably not allowed anyway. RYE PD, PCPD & Greenwich all patrol that harbor and would probably give you an earful in no time. There was a big article on all the structure on the east side of that jetty by the other weekly local fishing magazine a long time ago. There were bunker close to the jetty there 2 nights ago. A good spot for blues, stripers and fluke later in the season. There is probably no difference casting from the surf off Byram vs. the jetty.

As for the poo plant. YEah, it can stink some days. Never thought it was that that was marking up the water line on my boat. I simply attributed it to the muddy water. Funny how you can tell when a boat comes from Byram river from the dirty waterline on the hull. Makes me wonder why I spend so much time in the spring to clean the **** hull when it just turns brown in a week.
