Northbar Bottledarters ($17.99 from Causewaybaitandtackle.com) have recently been added to our online fishing catalog. These extremely popular plugs have landed some nice fish as we’ve been hearing. Often referred to as a “darter on steroids,” these plugs have been making splashes all over the area. Keep reading for details on this gem. Read the rest of this entry »
Some pretty decent reports have been coming in from the south shore beaches this morning. Sounds like from first light, on, there were mostly Bass with some Bluefish mixed in along the beaches anywhere from West End 2 to Tobay.
In case you didn’t know, us New Yorker’s will be required to have a Saltwater Fishing License starting October 1st, 2009.

With the strong easterly and westerly winds felt on the waters last week, the once hot fishing grounds of the Long Island South Shore went belly up. That is unless you put some time in working the bottoms. Read the rest of this entry »
This Black Drum weighed in at a wopping 63.84 pounds!
Recently caught by Gary Kaminksy and Mike Catalano, this black drum was caught while trolling between Debs and Jones Inlet. Gary and Mike were using a Clark Spoon. This monster weighed in at 63.84 pounds and is one of the largest fish we’ve weighed in this year!
Right now with the early fluke closure and the bass fishing not quite at full swing, the time is right for some fast jigging action in the inlet and bay. I was out the last few days and the action has been great. The blue fish are chasing spearing and herring from the 3rd Wantagh Bridge out to Jones Inlet. Look for the birds and keep your boat about a cast away from the activity and hang on. I have been using medium freshwater gear, 10 or 12 pound test line with a 30 or 40 pound leader with a snap on one end and a swivel on the other. 007’s, Deadly Dicks, small poppers will all work… at times it wont matter what you use!
An added bonus to this fishing is the appearance of Green Bonita and False Albacore, which seem to be concentrated from the mouth of Swift Creek across to the construction dock and south to the mouth of the inlet. The key to catching these speedsters is a super fast retrieve, a slender tin such as a Deadly Dick and being in the right place at the right time…the later requires some luck. These fish move extremely fast chasing baitfish so they can be elusive. If there were one *key factor* I would say getting out as early as possible and staying around the greatest concentration of baitfish and clean water. Personally I fish for these fish for the fun of it, however the Green Bonita are very good to eat if bled and iced. Greg
As expected, the striped bass fishing has remained slow. The dog days of summer still have a tight grip on the stripers but there have been signs of life. Read the rest of this entry »
The reports from the bay and ocean bottoms have been indicating that the action is getting better. Fishing the bottoms will yield porgy, sea bass and triggerfish in most cases in the bay and mostly porgies and sea bass for the ocean. Find out what bait they are biting on and more by reading the rest of this report. Read the rest of this entry »
