FEBRUARY 17TH THRU FEBRUARY 26TH, 2012.

*10% – 30% OFF REGULAR PRICES !!!

Big congrats to 9 yr. old Causeway Bait and Tackle customer Jonathan G. He landed a 2.58 lb and 2.26 lb white perch on 11.28.11 while fishing the South Shore, L.I. on night crawlers.

You don’t see ‘em this large too often. Nice job Jonathan and thanks for a look at these 2 fantastic white perch.

Monday 11.21.11 in the a.m.,
Causeway Bait and Tackle regular customer Bob landed this 32 lb. 11 oz. monster.

Awesome example of the species!

South Shore beach, L.I. – Bunker chunk.

Great job, Robert.

Between 11.20.11 and 11.22.11, reports have been increasingly good with fish taken off:

Robt. Moses/birds over fish, Fire Island, Jones Inlet east by the jetty/birds on the fish, Tobay , Hempstead Harbor on the north shore,

all producing keeper bass over the last few days.

Blues in the 15 lb. to 18 lb. range on the north shore.

The Blackfish bite still seems to be quite decent as well.

Here’s Bob with his Striper.

On 10/21/11, this handsome fella landed these 2 blues, 11 + lbs. and 12 + lbs. respectively, along with 10 more in the same class in 1.5 hours off the North Shore of Long Island using chunks on the incoming tide.

The others went back in the drink. No worse for the experience. The next day, a larger one broke a 12′ surf rod.

Both of these blue fish were weighed in at Causeway Bait and Tackle.

Tobay – From 9:30 am to apprx. 11:30 am… Thursday 10.20.11 … middle of incoming tide….

Conditions: EXTREMELY EXTREMELY ROUGH.

2 keeper bass and one 10 lb. blue came outta the water on chunks.

Fish seem to be preferring bait over everything else in most reports from wherever they come in.

That may switch over soon but for now,  bait seems to be the big factor in all catches reported,

obviously with certain exceptions.

Striped bass and decent blues in Jones Inlet this past weekend… Off the surf, birds on top of stripers chasing bunker thru the inlet Saturday, early in the day.

Big blues showed up en masse at the change to outgoing tide. Blues on every single cast, on chunks at the turn of the tide.

With steady winds between 30mph-35mph and significantly higher gusts, it was no picnic but he fish are/were there.

TOOK THIS 15 LB. 3 OZ. BLUE OUT OF MASSAPEQUA WATERS ON 9.28.11 ON A SKIMMER CLAM.

NICE GOING, JOHN! NICE FISH.

I MYSELF TOOK A 37″ BLUE OFF THE NORTH SHORE OF L.I. LAST WEEK.. OFF THE BEACH.

NO MEANS TO WEIGH IT, JUST MEASURED IT AND

GOT HIM BACK IN THE WATER UNHARMED. THE 37″ ‘er WAS ON A BUNKER CHUNK LAYING ON THE BOTTOM ON A

GAMAKATSU 8/0 CIRCLE HOOK.

SO… THERE’S SOME BIG BLUES AROUND, FOLKS.

Big Congrats to Mike Maguire on this 38 lb. 5 oz. bass taken off Sore Thumb on a bunker head.
Mike was planning on going with lures on Wednesday 7.13.11 in the a.m.
Upon arrival at the beach, he ran over some bunker left there overnight.

He salvaged what he could of the discarded bait and threw a bunker head
he just found /ran over …. out there to land this
big boy.

Nice job Mike!!!

We have not heard much out front, but the bay is alive with keeper bass and nice blues. Jones Inlet and west of the Moses bridge are good places to try. Action has been on bait and popping plugs.
