This is our last Fishing News of the 2016 season – but that doesn't mean the fishing season is over. Not by a long shot. Between now and the end of November, you can find plenty to keep your reel in action.

This week, Kevin Blinkoff of On The Water magazine serves up a menu of fishing options for fall weather, including:

  • Tail end of the fall run – stripers and blues continue through Halloween.
  • Bluefin tuna – it's all about weather windows.
  • Tautog season – heating up now, and runs through Thanksgiving.
  • Freshwater – fall trout stocking began this week.

We also round up the local fishing action for this week. It's all in the audio below – give it a listen.
Until spring 2017, happy fishing!
