    PB fluking MTK

    Jumped on my go to party boat in MTK for fluke on Sunday. Had my hopes up as they seemed to hit them pretty good on Wednesday. got up at 3, hit the road at about 3:20. A bit earlier than I normally leave. Turned out to be a good thing. As I turned the corner near my house I hear...

    South of the Point fluke

    Headed to MTK in hopes of getting a PB fluke and maybe joinging the DD club. This year has proven challenging for me. managed to catch a few nice ones early in the year in the LIS on my own boat but 3rd time at MTK this year and it has not been producing for me. Making me question my...

    Captree fluking

    Headed over to Captree to see if I could cash in on the great fluke bit that seems to be going on. Got on a morning half day boat (Jib) and was greeted by mate/freind Dennis. Son said there was no rain in the forecast so left rain gear at home. Got drenched from the start but forrunately...

    North Shore Fluking

    Fished from Oyster Bay to Lloyds Neck and Northport Stacks for fluke. Nothing but shorts. Only measurable fish was 17" but looked quite large after pulling mostly 10-12 inche fluke. Fished the entire incoming tide on Sunday. Not much of a drift and not many signs of life out...

    Block Island Sea Bass opener / fluke

    Headed to BI yesterday for a full day fluke/seabass trip. First drop the tide was ripping. Losing lots of rigs to the bottom. Captain headed closer to the island and we lost the drift completely. Lots of boats but not much net swinging going on. Most all sea bass were shorts...

    Late afternoon fluking

    Headed over to Ashroken area off the lighthouse. Managed about 6 fluke. Most all not worth measuring, 15-17" fish. Then when I was about to call it quits nailed a nice 24" 5lb fluke. I probably should have switched my rigs to smaller baits. Was using a ball jib with 4" gulp...

    Blackfish

    Headed back to Playland area yesterday. Got beat up crossing the sound in my 13' Whaler. Any sane person probably wouldn't have dared to cross. The North wind forecast of 7mph was more like Easterly 10's. Fished the same general area as last week but the bites were real subtle. Lots...

    Playland

    Finally managed my first blackfish trip of the year on my 1969 13' Boston Whaler. Wanted to go last weekend but had a wedding. Sailed Sunday from Oyster Bay. Wind in my face with a small chop is all it takes for a bouncy ride. Had to slow it down to keep from getting drenched...

    Fluke Fluke Fluke

    If you want to get in on a great fluke bite now is the time. Perfect weather, perfect conditions. The fish are there hungry and biting. Full boat limit on the Star yesterday for all. Lots of big quality fish. I know this sounds like a plug for the boat but it isn't. Just putting...

    Sunday High Tide

    Got out about 10am on the water. Took my neighbors kid. Battery acted up, kid got a bit seasick... I think mostly from the hot sun as it was pretty flat water out. Fished the Cold Spring Harbor area. While waiting for assistance from SeaTow, managed two sandsharks. 1 was the biggest...

    Sitka AK

    Got to fish AK for the first time. Always been a dream of mine. My daughter is fortunate enough to land a 4 week job there for the 2nd year in a row. Arrived Saturday and had a boat chartered on Sunday. Landed our limit of king salmon (Chinook) within a few short hours. The tide shut...

    Fluking

    Gave fluking another try on my 2nd trip out this year on my BW13. Made the run from OB to Eatons Neck. Took a while to find them but eventually found them. A small fleet was there. Saw most everyone pick away at fish with a few hootin and hollering. I was probably fishing with...

    Oyster Bay area.

    Took my 13 whaler out for the first trip of the year. Water was suprisingly flat considering the east wind. Fished near the entrance to the bay. Wind was providing for a nice drift as I caught the end of the outgoing from about 12-3. Managed to hook 2 fluke, 1 shook the hook at...

    Blackfish

    Armed with 4 dozen greens and 2 tubs of clam from Duffys B&T, sailed with a new friend who fishes with me on the Montauk Star. Sailed from Oyster Bay to Rye Playland area on Saturday in my 69 13' Boston Whaler. In a 1' chop coming straight from the west made for a bit of a tough ride for my...

    Huntington - Memorial Day

    Hit the JJ on Monday. Harbor was flat. Started off of The CG station near the rip there. Slow but steady pick of fish. After about an hour, someone hit the switch on the fan. Captain took us off Ashroken and then eventually inside near Sand City. Fish bit throughout the day...

    Fluke in OC

    Saw a report from an Ocean City MD site and they mentioned someone actually tried for fluke this past week and caught 2 in 51degree bay water. I'm not familiar with fluking in the Chesapeake or Ocean City area but think that this is a good sign for our upcoming season. I've always targeted...

    Kayak Flipped

    So, I am somewhat new to kayak fishing having only been out approximately 10 times in the LIS this year on my recently purchased Hobie Quest. Don't know why or what I did but I leaned a bit to my right to look at something approximately 1/2 mile off of Centre Island this past weekend. My...

    Tried one last shot for fluke on Saturday. Arrived into Star Island Marina and the flags were not moving at all. Sailed around the point and was greeted by a beautiful sunrise. Had high hopes. Started fishing during a total slack tide with some fish coming over the rails...
