Blackfish Report Nov.7, 2011

November 7th, 2011

Weekend Blackfishing report is as follows folks …

Ocean Blackfishing right now is at it’s Fall peak.
Most of the artificial reefs, wrecks, and hard bottom areas in the 50 to 60 foot range are producing fish.

Locations include: Hempstead Reef, McAllister Grounds, Atlantic Beach Reef, and Rockaway Reef.

There is an especially red-hot bite occurring in the Shrewsbury Rocks area and surrounding reefs.

We had reliable reports of 50 keepers per boat over the weekend although those boats adhered to NYS limit-laws.

Snafu and Reef rigs accounted for most of the damage, baited with green crabs.

As far as tide, it seems all you need is moving current.

Bluefish + Porgies

October 10th, 2011

Big Blues all over the place!

Nice action on the surface at Robt. Moses.

You should hit some large Porgies on basically any bottom structure right now, wherever you go.

Throw the usual at them.
