Nice work. Are they resident river fish or the Hudson fish coming through the Sound after the spawn?

Nice work. Are they resident river fish or the Hudson fish coming through the Sound after the spawn?
only a few have had sea lice this year so,most are local fish that have stayed around in the harbors or rivers or both.
most resident fish stay in the Housatonic but,lots of the small rivers also have resident fish in them.

ECP design,my build\paint\eoxy.
came out perfect!

[Rip-Plugger]

http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=21538&stc=1
top-custom collaboration plug,had to modify the lip since it dug too deep and caught the mud,trimmed off 1\4 inch and it swims perfect for what I built it for.
middle-one of my custom designs[roundnoser],dug in but,waggled like a light fart.
gave the lip a slight bend down and now it waggles great and digs down some,maybe to 12 feet on a long drift,perfect for LDP fishing.
bottom-an ECP design it wanted to swim but only dug in some and would lean to one side then the other.
I drilled out the lead keel and then gave the lip a slight band down and it now has a swim not unlike a bottle swimmer,has a sort of shimmy along with a zig-zag,love it's waggle now and hope to get one on it this fall using the LDP method.

Is this in the Sound? Wow awesome. what are the water temperatures where you are catching them?
not exactly,I fish rivers only,not the beaches.
the many tribs of the larger rivers have fish in them all winter.
in this particular area I am about 6 miles from the sound.
water temp right now is 49f.
when it hits 42f that's it,they don't bite.
