This is the most pleasant surprise of the Spring! Flounder are being caught in good numbers at the Jones Beach piers, Sore Thumb and Coast Guard Station. Chum with mussels or clam, and use sand worms for bait. Remember, it’s only a 2 fish per man bag limit, and they must be at least 12 inches. I know a 2 fish limit is ludicrous, but these fish just might be coming back, and there’s a whole generation of young fishermen who have never caught a flounder. Please keep that in mind and observe the regs!

Flounder and believe it or not Blowfish, have been caught in pretty good numbers at the Sore Thumb. Richie Keough of Atlantis anglers had a limit of Flounder and 18 Blowfish last week.

On the flounder scene, just today 4/10 we finally have a few local reports of flounder sightings or capture… Read the rest of this entry »

Flounder are still available. Try Four Corners, the Third Wantagh Bridge, or the Sore Thumb.  It’s definitely  “GameOn!” We have heard some SERIOUS reports in the last few hours of plenty of fish being caught on large Bloodworms, the WHOLE worm!

Well after what seemed like and endless winter the fishing season is finally here!!! Flounder fishing opened April 1st and closes May 30th ( so get out there! ), we are allowed to keep a whopping 2 fish with a minimum length of 12 inches. Surprisingly enough there have been some flounder caught locally as well as the surrounding areas. Read the rest of this entry »

No significant change around here to be honest, although the fishing in Jamaica Bay and Raritan Bay remains pretty steady. Not great fishing, but for those who put in the time and effort, they can manage a decent catch.

Flounder fishing in our area is as we expected… generally speaking… if you catch one, you had a good day! However there are a few people who out their time in and manage to put a few in the box.

Reported to us yesterday, Friday, from Bob Gabriel…

Bob fished Milburn Creek in Baldwin at dead low tide. Using Bloodworms and chumming with mussels he managed 4 nice keeper Flounder! This has been about the best report we’ve had so far! Way to go Bob!!

The fish he kept were 2 – 12”, 1 – 13” and 1 – 14”… That should make for a nice dinner!!!

Keep the reports coming folks, even if you go fishing and don’t catch ANYTHING, we would still like to hear it!

As expected, not too much to report. However, we heard of 4 or 5 fish caught locally at the Seaford Town dock on Sandworms with lots of mussels for chum. Other than that…. nothing.

We did hear from Capt. Nick of the charter boat “No Time”. Nick took the trip to Raritan Bay and had 3 keepers. Raritan bay and Jamaica bay have been pretty reliable the past few years, early in the season but unfortunately it sounds like those areas haven’t been producing much just yet.

We would still recommend staying on the North side of the bay, in the mouth’s of the creeks and canals where you find the dark sticky mud. Make sure you bring plenty of Chum too, Clam chum and Mussels… and LOTS of it.

Good luck and if you get out… we would love to hear your reports!!
