Bass fishing has been slow, but should steadily improve as the water cools. There are alot of sand eels in the water so the tins should produce bass very soon. Try a bucktail teaser tied on a dropper loop about 18 inches above the lure, this should produce some action!

North short bottom fishing has been very active over the last couple of weeks according to the Matura Brothers. Porgies have been making up much of the catch with a few fluke and black sea bass mixed in. Read the rest of this entry »

The Fluking in the same areas has picked up and should only get better as the season wears on. For the fluke, any combination of bucktail or fluke bullet fished below a teaser will work. Hot items have been Spro Bucktails in white, white and green or glow, West End fluke bullets and our locally tied teasers in white, pink and orange glow. We wouldn’t be fluke fishing if I didnt mention Berkley GULP..this stuff is truly fish food, as in they LOVE IT! The swimming 4″ Mullets in white or chartruese or the 4″ shrimp in new penny or Natural are top sellers and more importantly fish-catchers.

With no doubt, this stuff was the hottest item in the store this past season and we were sold it faster than we could get in stock. The most popular application in our area was for Fluke fishing, but people used it for just about everything… Bass, Blues, Seabass, Porgies, Cod and even for Blackfish.

The bottom fishing has slowed a little, probably because of the full moon we had but we would expect things to pick right up again. In the bays, there have been plenty of fish around the bridges and piers although they seem to be smaller than they have been. This happens every year though, the keeper sized fish get caught up and it slows to a slower pick… but the action typically remains steady.

Snapper fishing is at the height of the season right now with reports of fish up 14″… that’s a big Snapper! ALL the usual creeks and canals are holding the Snappers and as always, try to fish around high tide. We have had a number of reports from Jones Beach Pier and the cove right next to the piers with some really great fishing. Sounds like 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 »
