Surf Fishing Report - Long Island South Shore - 12-13-08

Striped Bass Season Ends Monday December 15th… so get while the getting is good!!

And there has been some “good getting” at Breezy Point the past couple of days! The surf in our area has been slim pickings, with an ocassional fish every here and there. Participation has really dropped off now too, so there aren’t many people bringing the reports in to us. Between the colder weather and the Holidays, many people have hung it up, but for the few that ventured out… to the west… it has payed off.

Breezy has been alive with Bass, with some keeper sized fish in the mix too. Sounds like there is a ton of herring down that way and the Bass have been chasing them up and down the beach.

Blue/White Pencil Poppers and Little Neck Poppers have been reliable as well as the Point Jude Nautilus Tins!

This isn’t going to last long, so get in on it while they’re still there!!

Unfortunately, sounds like things have become VERY quiet all around. There were plenty of fish around, mostly smaller ones, but in the past two days they seem to have vanished. A number of people have been visiting Tobay and Read the rest of this entry »

Robert Moses Filed 5 has been consistently producing fish for about a week now. Sounds like the Sandeels have shown up there and brought the Bass with them. Joe from the shop had over 40 fish the other day and a number of our customers have reported similar result. Considering the bait that has been around, tins have been the way to go. Diamond jigs and sandeel shaped lures like the Point Jude Pojee have been out producing just about everything else! Sounds like mostly small Bass and a few big Blues…. but plenty of action!!

Other than that, the surf has been rather quiet around here with scattered reports from other beaches. We did have a couple reports from people fishing with bait in Point Lookout and we weighed a 20 plus pounder for one person who also had 5 other shorts.

Seems like this warm weather isn’t helping the fall run but we’ll keep our ears open!!

Good news, things seem to be SLOWLY, but steadily, improving. It’s not great fishing yet but there have been more fish caught these past few days there have been in a number of weeks now. Sounds like it’s mostly bait fishing, fresh bunker, out front on the ocean beaches. Read the rest of this entry »

Locally, things are still a bit on the slow side but we ARE hearing of some schoolie sized fish here and there. I guess we could call it a slight improvement ove last week… but things have a way to go yet. We had a report this morning, of a few fish caught over the weekend in Long Beach on plugs. There have also been a few small fish at Read the rest of this entry »

Wish we had more to report but in general it’s still pretty slow and to make matters worse it sounds like the surf has been a little messed up too, from that storm way down south.

We have had a couple of decent reports late last week with the slightly cooler weather but now that it has warmed up again it’s quiet.We’ve only heard of one or two fish every here and there from all over the place… nothing consistent unfortunately. Best bets right now seem to be plugging and MOVING. The people that have been walking different beaches and spots on the back side are picking a few fish. Bait fishing out front on the ocean beaches has been virtually non-existent.

We did hear of a few Weakfish caught from the piers at Captree State Park… about an hour before high tide. Doesn’t sound too consistent but it’s about all we’ve heard about.

BUT… sounds like Montauk was ON FIRE the past couple days. We spoke with Kadir (owner of Aquaskinz) today and he fished Browns on Sunday and said it was some of the BEST surf fishing he has seen in many years with fish from 10 to 30 pounds!!! He said the surf was littered with large Spearing and what looked like some Mullet. This is a GOOD SIGN and hopefully we’ll see some of that action back this way some time soon!!

No significant changes around here at least… still pretty slow on the ocean beaches. We’ve heard of one or two Bass here and there and a few Blues here and there as well but nothing consistent at any particular place… kind of scattered all about. The few fish we’ve heard about from out front have been on bait too, fresh bunker and fresh clams.

The back sides of the inlets, like West End 2, Democrat Point and the Sore Thumb have provided slightly more action than out front though. There have been a few schoolie Bass and some small Blues in the inlets at first light and it sounds like the people that are casting small lures have been able to out-fish the bait. Kastmaster’s, Charlie Graves tins, Point Jude tins and Bucktails are a good bet along with plastic swimmers like the Storm and Tsunami shad style baits. We’ve heard of a few fish caught on poppers too… like the Super Strike Little Neck and the Tsunami Talking Poppers.

Once the water temps begin to cool a bit and we get some bait moving around we should see some imrpovements, but till then it’s just a hunt and peck type deal!!

Wow… wish we had some better news but unfortunately things have been extremely slow along the Ocean beaches. Every couple of days we’ll here of a fish or two but that’s about it. This is one of the slowest times of the year for surf fishing though, so this isn’t very unusual but if you hunt around the back sides of some of the beaches there are a few fish to be caught.

Joe, from the shop, has been fishing around the Jones Beach piers in the evenings and has been catching some school sized Bass and some slammer Blues on Bomber plugs… Chicken Scratch especially. He fished a few nights ago with one of our customers “Ricky Laun” and Ricky managed a keeper Bass right from one of the piers, on a Storm 5″ Pearl Swim Shad. They reported seeing a load of bait around the piers in the evenings… which would explain why the Bass and Blues have been around there. This seems to be a pattern for all those that are stalking the back bays from shore… find the bait and you’ll find some fish.

We had a few reports from West End 2 as well… on the back side. A few people have fished there early in the morning from dark till first light, using Charlie Graves tins, Point Jude Tins and polaris style poppers like the Gibbs and Super Strike poppers and caught some small Bass and Blues there too.

Bottom line… fish in the back, not out front. There seems to be some baitfish roaming around the bays and if you can come across some of it you’re going to increase your chances of seeing some Bass and Blues.
