    Bucktail Bass

    I've decided to avoid bait as much as possible this season especially with the absurd prices these days. Left the dock with no bait and planned to target structure around Breezy Point with plain ol' bucktails. I try to stick with 1 oz or less to keep it low profile and crawl it slow over the...

    Back Bay Redux

    With consistent reports of Bass moving into my area, I decided to give it another shot. Looking at the tide and wind conditions, I knew it would be doable despite the intermittent rain. Working the sod banks and mudflats, I had my first bass of the season slowly crawling a Redfin. The action...

    Spring Blackfish

    Crabs with the shell off should work great

    Back Bay

    Took an hour before work to try my local back bay area. Last year I got my first bass the 3rd week of April in the same spot. Water temp around 49 degrees I employed small shads and a 1 oz super strike around sod banks and flats, for about 45 minutes without a hit. I tried to cover as much area...

    Rockaway Inlet Stripers

    With the season winding down to an end, I decided to make one last trip to fish live eels with the full moon. Myself and three others left the dock at slack tide and got there at the start of the outgoing. We had been doing very well with lots of short bass the previous couple of trips, so we...

    Night Tide

    Interestingly, the keeper bass had a red hake? Some kind of ling in its stomach. Didn't look digested so it must've been right before it was caught. Always interesting to see what these fish are eating.

    Night Tide

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to take advantage of the incredible weather the past couple of days, but I did sneak out with a couple of friends to fish some structure on a windless night. Headed to the spot at slack tide with 2 dozen eels ready to go. For the first hour of fishing we hardly had...

    Interesting Day

    So the fog in the last couple of days prevented me from hitting the ocean, so I decided to stick to the bay. I had some success last week plugging some back bay spots so I tried for an hour with no luck. The fog was still thick, so ocean was out of the question. I decided to hit up some local...

    Peanuts Galore

    Sometimes yes, sometimes no. When they're locked in on peanuts sometimes they won't touch anything else. I was still surprised though. A 5" blue talkin popper should've worked.

    Peanuts Galore

    Definitely lesson learned, i'll probably try again tomorrow. I have a floating sp minnow lying around the house i want to try out as well. I don't think it was albies or bonito/spanish but perhaps. Like you said always better to be prepared for anything.

    Peanuts Galore

    Boat is in the repair yard so i haven't been fishing, but decided i'd give it a go and try a surf spot I've always wanted to try. Started around 6pm at the first spot with a talkin popper and had no luck. At the next spot i found the bait, massive schools of peanut bunker with fish blowing up on...

    Jamaica Bay

    Went out yesterday to fish some intense structure, nailed some nice 14-15" porgies and was pleasantly surprised to catch a couple blackfish, one even being a keeper size fish, released of course. The earliest I've ever gotten them, but it makes sense that they'd be filtering in about now. Did a...

    Watch Out for Whales While Boating

    Seen a pod of dolphins last week by breezy point, shut down the bite but was a cool thing to witness. Always turn off the motor and turn off my fishfinder I think the sounder can interfere with their echolocation. I reported my sighting, thanks

    Where have all the fluke gone?

    Went out this morning with the express intent to tangle with some fluke and hopefully bag a doormat, sad to say i was disappointed. Felt like a desert out there, landed only 3 fluke in about 5 hours of fishing. Ran all around to the elbow by breezy, to manhattan beach, plumb beach, wherever. It...

    Rockaway Inlet

    Decided to run out at dawn today, made it to the jetty by 5:15. Lots of life out there, was greeted by a pod of dolphins which managed to scare a lot of the fish away. Ended up with a couple nice scup and some 3-5 lbs bluefish kept things interesting. Headed inshore towards the Coney Island...

    Breezy Point

    Headed out this morning for some porgy fishing as i heard they just showed up in my area. Once i got there, immediate signs of life. Saw a couple bass and blues busting on bunker. Searched around for some porgies, and was able to locate them. Decent bite, caught 6 which is enough for me and i...

    Coney Island

    Went out this afternoon to try and see if I could locate some fluke. Had some buddies out earlier in the day reporting poor fishing overall in the inlet, and after giving some local spots a try and not getting much I decided i'd check out the Coney island area. Found much better action there...
