    Nighttime Stripers in Shinnecock

    Been landing nice slot bass in Shinnecock. Using trolling plugs - low and slow.

    Montauk Moonlight Bass

    I just got my beloved FJ Cruiser back after two months without it (another story). It has all my stickers. Without my 4x4 permits there was no ocean kayak launching, especially at the Point, until Thursday night. I drove from the mechanic's, to my house (to get my kayak), then to the Point, just...

    Kayak Flipped

    Couldn't agree more. Frankly, the fact that they were in camouflage kayaks would seem to indicate that they were more accustomed to inshore or freshwater fishing than plying the waters off the Point. I spent years learning the Point simply by looking at it every day at different tides and...

    Kayak Flipped

    I had an experience off Montauk Point a few weeks back that I described in a report entitled "Swimming off Montauk Point." It includes my estimations of what I did right and wrong. I had my paddle and my mirage drive leashed. The one for my paddle wasn't strong enough and snapped when it could...

    I'm sorry I missed him. Next gig?

    Swimming off Montauk

    I know this is not a fishing report, but when I tried to post it in the Kayak Forum, it required "questions" and "comments," I have neither. This is a simply a cautionary tale. Last night I did most things right. Those things made a big difference. But I went against my gut. That was wrong...

    Montauk Kayak Blues

    Looking for bigger bass, I ran out to the Point for some night fishing. Had calm seas and the last of an incoming tide. Got only bluefish, but steady action all night. Below is what a cable leader looks like after a night of Montauk bluefish.

    Shinnecock Bay Bass

    Yes. I fished the end of incoming and there was a bite, bit the fish were smaller.

    Shinnecock Bay Bass

    Fished in the rain last night and had a steady pick of about a dozen stripers - only one blue - over about two hours. Got mine on swimming plugs in about 12 feet of water during outgoing.

    Shinnecock Stripers

    The 25+ mph winds this afternoon kept Ponquogue Bridge traffic-free through the flood this afternoon. I siezed the day and caught 7 bass in a little over an hour through the top of the tide. Typical; 24-27 inches, with bigger ones eluding me. I was trolling silver and white swimming plugs...

    Moriches Bay

    Too many fishermen discount the effect that engine noise has on a bite. I can tell you that an older, smarter fish knows the sound.

    Shinnecock Kayak Night Bassing

    Fished the top of the tide at Ponquogue Bridge and it did not disappoint. I had 7 bass in about 90 minutes, two of them keepers. I'm using swimming plugs and finding the bigger bass in the shallows right after the flood. I might get out for the morning flood tide as well. It's go time. Catch...

    Shinnecock Kayak Bass

    I had a feeling I'd find some bass in Shinnecock, so I hit the water at 2am to get a 3:30 high tide. I had fish immediately. None were much bigger than the one pictured, about 26 inches. I worked the last 90 minutes of the incoming and first 60 of the out. Five of the seven fish I got were...

    More Jamaica Bay Kayak Bass

    My buddy Junior and I fished Jamaica Bay again Thursday, after a successful outing a few days earlier. This time we launched from Canarsie, in order to better use the tides to our advantage. Though Junior caught some stripers jigging a bucktail, it was a shallow swimming plug (Crystal Minnow)...

    "New York" Stripers

    First, the short report: We caught a lot of schoolies in JBay during the outgoing in the Patch, mostly on swimming lures, but also on bucktails. The fish story: Our first trip for "New York" (versus CT river) stripers. The Misfit Kayak Fishing Team was champing at the bit to get everyone...

    Spring Stripers and Kayak Fishing

    Misfit Kayak Fishing was up before dawn in pursuit of some stripers this weekend. Pete got to Shelton CT first and launched just before dawn. The first ferry wouldn't have me there for another two hours, so Pete had the early bite to himself. He also had a parking ticket! - something neither of...
