The blackfish reports have been steadily coming into the shop and the news is getting better and better. Continue reading to find out where they have been biting and which charter boats are your best bets. Read the rest of this entry »
Today is the last day of striped bass season. We have not heard too much in that area lately, but there still might be a few schoolies around. My recommendations are Gilgo, Tobay or West End 2 with A17’s or some other similar tin. Read the rest of this entry »
Some of the Causeway crew fished on the Rosie out of Montauk on Monday and Tuesday, 12/7 and 12/8. On Monday, we fished for cod on the first drop, but the “endangered” dogs were ravenous, and chased us off the piece in short order. We spent the rest of the day at…. Read the rest of this entry »
The crew of the “Keri Lee” reported seeing gannets and breaking bass west of Jones Inlet off the Pink hotel. They were on their way to 17 for a day of togging. Check back tomorrow and see how they made out.
This blackfish caught by Victor weighed in at 17 lbs, 3 oz. This is the largest blackfish/tautog weighed in at Causeway to date!
Wow! We just weighed in monster tog of 17 pounds 3 ounces! It was caught by Victor Place on the “Super Hawk” at 17 Fathoms. Congratulations Victor! That’s the biggest blackfish ever weighed in at Causeway Bait and Tackle to date.
A 22 pound Long Island Striped Bass caught by Peter Makowski last week
With the great weather and fair fishing, anglers enjoyed some nice moments on the Long Island waters last week. Especially Peter Makowski who reeled in this 22 pound striper off Gilgo Beach. The striper action is picking up while some blacks and blues were found. Choose the report you’d like to read:
We are almost through with the crazy weather of the month of October. While the sometimes nasty weather conditions made it difficult for some anglers to fish exactly where they wanted to on a given tide or day, those who chose plan “B” instead of bailing out were often rewarded. This was especially true with bottom fishing. Read the rest of this entry »
The blackfish action has been very good toward the west in the bays and by the bridges. With the sea bass and porgy seasons closed, blackfishing is the only bottom fishing in town. Read the rest of the report to see where to catch blackfish on the South Shore of Long Island. Read the rest of this entry »
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 »
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
