From 2/13 to 2/21 you can save at least 15% and up to 30% on all the gear you are going to need for the upcoming season and beyond. Of course there are some items that we are just not able to discount do to manufacturers terms and such but believe us, everything that is able to be discounted is!!

Codfish Report 2/2/2010

February 2nd, 2010

Codfishing in Montauk right now is RED HOT; fish are being caught on either bait or jigs. If you can bring two rods one rigged for bait and on rigged for jigging. For the bait rig, I prefer a single hook about belt high with enough lead to tend bottom, which will vary form day to day. On the jigging rod I’ll fish a Hammered Diamond or Vike Jig rigged with a dropper loop 12 to 16 inches from the jig for a teaser. Teasers can include pink, white, red, or chartreuse curly tail grubs as well as tied mylar and bucktail flies in blue flash, pink, and green. Don’t hesitate to try different colors and types of teasers…you never know when you may have the HOT color in you tackle bag and not know it.

On the local cod scene out of Jones and Fire Island, there seems to be enough fish around to make it worthwhile! The AB reef and Buoy 4 areas seem to be holding some fish as well as the 100 to 120 ft. wrecks.

As usual weather dictates this time of the year, any weather out of the South or East will effect the fishing negatively, especially if an ocean swell is created. Ideally winds from the West, North, and Northwest will provide better fishing conditions.  We are fully stocked with all your Codfishing needs and can provide a wealth of info, so either come by and say hello or shoot us an e-mail.

Herring & White Perch - Great Winter Choices around Long Island

This is the time of year that can really wear on a fisherman.  Bass and blackfish are closed and the water is not quite cold enough to fish for cod.  What’s left?  Herring or White perch.

The best place to try for herring is the Magnolia Pier in Long Beach.  This has been a very consistent producer in the past.  The Construction Dock in Jones Inlet can also be good.  You don’t need bait to catch herring.  A multi-hook “Sabiki Rig”  weighted with a sinker or small diamond jig will do the trick.

White Perch can be caught in local tidal creeks. Cammon’s Pond or the Levy Pier in Merrick will produce, as well as Santapogue Creek or Avon Lake in Babylon.  Use nitecrawlers fished on a float,  small plastic grubs on jig heads, or small lures such as Phoebes or Kastmasters.

We have not had any reports as of yet, but if you’re anxious to get out of the house, give these fish a try. Good luck, and we’ll keep you posted.

Today is the last day of striped bass season.  We have not heard  too much in that area lately, but there still might be a few schoolies around.  My recommendations are Gilgo, Tobay or West End 2 with A17’s or some other similar tin. Read the rest of this entry »

Some of the Causeway crew fished on the Rosie out of Montauk on Monday and Tuesday, 12/7 and 12/8.  On  Monday,  we fished for cod on the first drop, but the “endangered” dogs were ravenous, and chased us off the piece in short order.  We spent the rest of the day at…. Read the rest of this entry »
