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 »
With the wicked weather and effects from passing Hurricane Bill and Tropical Depression Danny, fishing has been rather quiet. With these two annoyances on their way, we hope to get back to the good fishing. If you are looking for the action, the bottom is the way to go. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been a while since we’ve heard activity from the oceans bottoms, other than fluking. If you are board from looking for striped bass to jump on your line, try throwing some weigh on that hook and hit the bottoms as there are porgies and sea bass all over. Read the rest of this entry »
Although still small, the snapper fishing is begging to get active. Along with the snappers, the crabbing has also made a turn for the better. Both are on par for the mid-summer pier and dock enthusiasts.
The ocean bottom fishing is also still doing well. The concentration of reports has indicated that your best bet is on inshore pieces.
Updated: June 29, 2009 - The saltwater fishing in the New York waters has continued to improve so has the ocean bottom fishing. Our latest reports indicate that Sea bass Read the rest of this entry »
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 »
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.
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.
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 »
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!!
