Hey NY Anglers!

So we got the south winds i was hoping for, however things did not pan out as planned.The day out of the wind turned into a brutally hot day with no wind. It was frggin hot. There was little to no bait to be found and I picked away at a bunch of small ones. Nothing over 16 inches. I did what Iike to call “the fluke grind” for six hours with only a 15 inch porgy.

I sure hope a new body of fish arrives soon.

I was out yesterday as well. There were tons of cinderworms in the water off the Northport /Ft. Salonga area. There were bass everywhere gulping on them. A few big bass on bunker. I managed 2 shorts on 1 drift and then later managed another 2 off Ashroken lighthouse. When those cinderworms spawn, I am convinced the fish really won't eat anything else.

Try slow rolling a big metal lip swimmer, especially in low light conditions. You are not going to get many bites, but you might be pleasantly surprised.

My fly fishing buddies love those hatches!

Thanks for the update!
