Capt lou and the captree pride

[Bassmaster]

Me and my father went fishing on the pride and the capt lou we both combined for over 200 fluke on those two trips and not one keeper at all. On the pride I had over 50 fluke on the diamond jig last keeper I had was on miss montauk that giant sea bass. Lots of fish just no size. The pride had over 1000 fish on the boat and maybe 10 keepers. Going to combine two trips in one report for magnolia pier going tomorrow. Tight lines

Scup fishing is way off mojo. Roundhouse and tin can grounds are empty. Very few fish. Even the boiler wreck only had a few and that spot is reliable drop and stick fishing. Not the last 2 seasons.........sad

MoJo,
Just got back from my Second Peconic Bay Porgy fishing trip and I caught a small number of porgies and one seabass. They say it's great Porgy Fishing out there, I didn't see anybody fishing for Porgies inside the Bay. Everybody was drifting for Fluke and I didn't see one fish caught. What an awful year I'm having , I read the Ocean Fluking was excellent , that's what I'm doing next. Next time I go out there I'm following the party boats.It's too big a bay for somebody like me to pinpoint where the fish are. So frustrating, got out there when it was a very strong outgoing tide. Years past I always had excellent Porgy fishing out there, tried the Greenlawns and outside Dering Harbor . The AI fishing reports said Dering Harbor had really good Porgy fishing. Plenty of Porgy Bites but the tide was too strong.

Panga, your last sentence is a very important clue. People who are unfamiliar with the area think that because they are fishing in the bay, they do not have to pay close attention to the tidal stage or moon phase. Until you understand that the current in the Peconics can run just as fast as it does out in the eastern LI Sound you will probably still be frustrated with your results. And following the party boats alone will not cure that. BTW, experience will also show you where you can actually fish during the strength of the tide and still catch well.

Obviously, it is your choice, but if you can get 2 or 3 friends together and book me for a charter, I can teach you a lot about how, when and where to go to maximize your efforts on Scup.
