    Blackfish?

    I was hoping to find some reports of Blackfish from the South Shore. I heard the Long Island Sound was lacking perhaps due to the cold water temperatures? Today and tomorrow look like fair weather days on the water, maybe there will be something posted soon. This nice weather has my juices...

    Any Bass on Bunker?

    I haven't seen any reports of fishing Bass on bunker schools? I mean it's the last week of June and for decades that meant catching big bass in the ocean on bunker schools on the south shore! I'd love to know if anyone doing this kind of fishing is able to catch anything other than big sharks...

    Question about Massachusetts Bays

    Can anyone knowledgeable with fishing Massachusetts bays answer me a question regarding winter flounder? Several of my buddies have expressed interest in heading north from NY to fish for winter flounder. I remember the stories of catching big fish in Quincy during it's hay day (before the water...

    Smithtown Bay Fluke

    I was fortunate to be invited on a buddy's boat Sunday to try and catch some fluke. We gave buoy 11 (Pt. Jeff) a shot (even jigged for bass a little) however, though marking plenty of bait the fishing was sub par. Our Capt. Adam made the choice to head west and we soon rounded Cranes Neck and...

    Flounder/Blackfish

    Really? No one has given NY Flounder or Blackfish a shot? Even if you tried and failed to harvest anything that's a valuable report. We were supposed to give it a shot today but wind against tide along with a forecast full of rain pushed it till next weekend. I hope someone has gotten out there...

    Circle hooks on Striped Bass

    Got out last Thursday, instead of going right for the tog we decided to try the bunker schools for bass. We found over -slots more than willing to slurp down live bunker on circle hooks. I do have a question for those of you fishing live bait for Striped Bass. What is the best way to remove a...

    Measuring a Seabass

    16 1/2" is a lot of fish just to be able to take a Seabass home for dinner, but dang if I don't hear different opinions on how to measure them. I believe the DEC says head to tail but there-in lies the rub. It's that darn filament a Seabass has streaming off it's tail. Some say that's part of...

    Win a party boat pool

    Didn't exactly know where to post this question so I chose here. While fishing on a party boat if you are fortunate enough to be in the pool and catch the largest fish what percentage of your winnings are the mates expecting. I believe there is no exact amount written in stone but I'm also...

    Blowfish?

    Curious if anyone giving fluke a shot in Moriches Bay has found those telltale chunks ripped out of their gulp baits? I would love to get the grandkids out for some blowfish but they get bored pretty quick if there's nothing happening. A few years ago May was a great month to spank those tasty...

    Last Hurrah

    Got out today (Sunday) with my grandson Evan and buddy Dan. Launched out of Pt. Jeff and made our way west to Cranes neck. Had high hopes for one last shot a Blackfish. Weather certainly cooperated, water and wind laid down and it was an absolutely beautiful day. Wish the fish were as...

    Port Jeff, Saturday

    So NOAA said wind was going to blow saturday afternoon and they weren't lying. Early morning launch from Pt Jeff ramp, weather was absolutely beautiful. Sun, no wind and the Sound was flat calm. Found some structure, dropped the hook, dunked some crabs and caught some fish. Couldn't seem to...

    Bent the rod

    Got out Monday, fished Moriches bay. We were in the water by 7a m, caught the end of the incoming. Overcast skies with a bit of wind out of the east sure made for comfortable fishing (should have brought a long sleeve tee). Loads of action with short fluke (not too many robins either), till the...

    Waters still to cold

    Got out yesterday, managed only a few short fluke. Boats running good and the sun was shining so not much to complain about. I have a question for all you seasoned flukers out there. The few reports I've been reading often mention how the water is 'still to cold'. In your opinions, now that the...

    Blowfish?

    Last year around this time there were sooooo many blowfish in the narrows at Moriches Bay you just couldn't drop a jig with gulp without it getting annihilated immediately. I haven't read any reports of anyone fishing for fluke in Moriches? I was curious if there's any talk of action in the area...

    Any Blacks left?

    Wrapped the guppy up today, large hopes for next season. Was curious if anyone has boarded any vessels headed towards 17 fathoms? Water temps are still unseasonably warm, wondered if there are any Blacks left in those 102' depths?

    One last time

    I was fortunate to be able to get out one last time for fluke. I had heard there were some fish being caught around the bridge in Fire Island inlet area. Started the morning fishing the West Channel for some Weakfish at the end of the incoming, small fish but loads of fun. Once the outgoing...

    Last hurrah

    So last weekend of the 2020 Fluke season, where to fish after a week of strong NE winds and high seas? Rolled the dice and headed out of Jones inlet where we hit them before the blow. Crapped out, where ever those fish were I know where they weren't. Lol Had a few shorts but nothing to bring...

    Wind is not my friend

    So Fall is right around the corner but looks like the wind is leading the way. Really looking to get out for the last gasps of the fluke season but mother nature seems hell bent on squashing any of those dreams. Looks like this weekend is a bust both days. Hope for better luck next week.

    Bottom of the 9th

    With only a couple weeks left for 2020 fluke we decided to push the envelope a bit. Sundays ocean forecast said 5 - 10 knt wind with 4-5 footers but the interval was enough that we figured we would give it a shot. Fished S/W of Jones and managed several keepers for the table. Wind picked up...

    Fun day

    Wish I knew were Lep was fishing but we had a fun day S/W of Jones inlet by Mcallister reef. 1st drift this morning put 2 5#ers in the box and thought we were in for an epic day. Unfortunately that didn't happen, it turned into a slow grind. However we did catch plenty of 18+ " fish which were...
