The action continues to heat up for the Long Island Waters especially for your bottom feeders. There has been plenty of action but less keepers in the mix. Many of the reports we are receiving indicate that sea bass are the main catch along with some Read the rest of this entry »

Saltwater Fishing Reports - Bottom Fishing - 6/11/09

(No Ratings Yet)

June 11th, 2009

Ocean bottom fishing has still been good but there has been an influx of dogfish this week which makes things difficult. As the water warms, they should thin out.

Sea Bass have been the dominant fish being caught with some big porgies in the mix. Try fishing the reefs from 50′- 60′ of water.

Blackfish and Seabass Reports - Long Island South Shore - 11-15-08

November 15th, 2008

When the weather cooperates the local reefs and wrecks have been quite good with many limits of Blackfish being reported. Sounds like the bottom fishing in the bays has slowed but the fishing in the ocean is much improved. Any piece of bottom in 40 to 60 feet of water has been holding fish but considering the lack of action in the bays EVERYONE has been on the reefs and wrecks… making it a little hard to find a spot that hasn’t already been picked clean. Hempstead Reef, Atlantic Beach Reef and the Iberia wreck have probably been the most popular and most consistent areas lately. Green crabs have been the ticket for all the better action but we have had a few reports of Clams working well too.

For the Seabass, sounds like people fishing clams have been working the same areas as mentioned and putting a few nice ones in the box. The deeper wrecks and reefs seem to be holding the better fish though. Areas like Cholera, Middle Grounds and the wrecks in 80 to 100 feet of water have been better than the inshore pieces.

Seabass and Porgy Fishing Report - Long Island South Shore - 9-9-08

Considering that the Fluke season is over and the Bass fishing has been VERY slow, many people have been visiting the local bridges, wrecks and reefs… and the fishing has been consistently good.

In the bay, Jones Beach Pier has had plenty of fish and believe it or not, some keeper sized fish! Joe, from the shop stopped at the piers yesterday with clams and hammered the porgies, saying that he couldn’t believe Read the rest of this entry »

Porgy and Seabass Report - Long Island South Shore - 9-4-08

September 4th, 2008

With the Fluke season closed, there has been an expected increase in “effort” and we’ve had some great reports from in the bays and in the ocean with keeper sized Porgies and Seabass just about any where there is structure on the bottom.

In the ocean, 40 to 60 feet of water seems to be the honey hole… with reports coming from ALL the wrecks and reefs. Hempstead reef and Atlantic Beach Reef have been producing well and the local wrecks like the Stome Barge, the Iberia, the Steel wreck have been consistent too. The Seabass can be caught even deeper too, so don’t hesitate to hit places like the Cholera Banks, the McAllister area, the Yankee wreck or anything else in the area.

In the bays, just about every bridge has some fish on them, especially the bridges closest to the inlet like the Big Meadowbrook, the Loop Parkway Drawbridge and the Loop Parkway Bridge in Point Lookout.

Yesterday, one customer had a limit of keeper Porgies at the Big Meadowbrook with a few keeper sized Seabass as well… nice ones too… like 2 1/2 to 3 pounds!!!

Clams, cut Squid, Sandworms and even live Killies will get these fish to bite around the bridges and in the ocean the Clams, cut Squid and Killies will get them out there!

We have a number of customers experimenting with the 3″ Gulp Squid, Gulp Sandworms, Gulp strip Baits and even the Gulp Clams too…. and they ARE WORKING! People were afraid to try the Gulp products on the Fluke at first and look what happened…. it was the hottest selling product in the store this year! Give this stuff a try for bottom fishing too, you probably WON’T be dissapointed!!

Sea Bass Fishing Report - 5-27-08

Sounds like any bottom structure in 40 to 60 feet of water is holding LOADS of Sea Bass lately! Doesn’t sound like many real big ones, but plenty of keepers and simply tons of action! Any of the local reefs like the Atlantic Beach Reef and Hempstead Reef would be great places to start but the Cholera Banks and the McAllister wreck have been producing as well.

Glenn, from the shop, fished aboard his boat the “Kerri Lee” on Friday and they put the hurt on the Sea Bass. They fished in 50 feet of water, on a piece south west of our inlet and had action ALL DAY LONG. They had a few Porgies in the mix too!

Judging by the reports we’ve had, we would recommend using rigs like the Fin- Strike Hi-Low style rigs and it’s pretty hard to go wrong with clams for bait.

Long Island South Shore Fishing Report- Updated 4/14/08

Things are FINALLY LOOKING UP! Things are improving, except for the Flounder fishing in our area. Flounder action in these bays is still VERY slow… we’re telling people that if you spend the day targeting Flounder, and you get one… you had a GOOD DAY! We would still recommend looking in the creeks and canals on the North side of the bay, concentrating on the sticky mud bottoms and using LOTS of chum.

To the West, however, in Jamaica Bay and Raritan Bay, there has been some pretty consistent fishing. We don’t have many customers fishing those areas on their own, instead they’re hitting the party boats and catching their share!

Striped Bass haven’t made much of a showing in this bay yet, but we would expect to see this change ANY day now, especially with the nice weather we’re expecting this week. There are fish being caught in Jamaica Bay, Raritan Bay and in around Staten Island… typical of early spring. Sounds like mostly schoolie sized fish being caught on lures like the Tsunami Shads, small Bombers, Bucktails and assorted plastics. We have Fresh Bunker, Fresh / Frozen Clams and Live Eels in stock too!

Blackfish action seems to be improving nicely! We had a number of reports from the past weekend of fish being caught on the in-shore pieces in 40 to 60 feet of water. Spots like the Atlantic Beach Reef and the Hempstead Reef have been producing steady action using Clams. We have fresh clams in stock and a wide variety of Blackfish rigs as well.
