Surf fishing around here continues to be pretty slow but for those who poke around the bay and the back sides of some of the beaches, there are some fish to be caught. Out front, there has been VERY little to talk about with a report coming in every here and there. Sounds like what little action there is has been on fresh Bunker and or clams though…  with no lure fishing to speak on the ocean beahces at least.

However, the back side of Jones Beach (parking field 10 and west End 2) have been giving up a few smaller Bass and some Bluefish as well. Most of what we’ve heard about has been on lures though… people that are walking the beaches and plugging their way around… not staying in any one particular area.

Joe, from the shop, fished with our customer Ricky Laun last night and Ricky had a 29″ Bass from the Pier on a 5″ Storm Shad in the Pearl color. Ricky also fished a few nights ago around the Wantagh bridges and had a 15 pound Bluefish and a few smaller ones on the Storm Shads as well.

Sounds like there have been quite a few Blues around the second and third Wantagh bridges at night and we’ve heard this from some of the boat fisherman too.

Our advice…. stay on the move…. don’t stay in any one particular place if there isn’t anything biting. Cover as much ground as you can this time of year and you’re bound to come across something going on somewhere.

On 7-24 Domingos Martins weighed in his SECOND fish in recent weeks, with this 21 plus pounder. He was fishing at Jones Beach Field 6 using fresh Bunker!

This report was recently e-mailed to us with Ken Lanning Jr., Keith Lanning and Thomas Daly. These guys were drifting live Bunker aboard the Lanning’s boat “Fish Hawk”… Fishing West of Debs Inlet in 28 feet of water on June 30th.

WHAT WEATHER we had this weekend, but fishing seems to be about the same as last week. We did have a few good reports though, mostly from the boat fisherman in the bays. Clam chumming remains steady around the West Bar, all the bridges and various places in the back bays.

Chuck and Pete, from the shop, fished early Friday morning with our customer Terrence. They had a few fish early, on the last of the outgoing, fishing the Big Meadowbrook and the second Wantagh using the 5″ Rainbow Trout Fin-S and the new 7 1/2″ Eel Skin Slug-Go on 3/4 ounce Ultimate lead heads. Once the tide turned they set up at a spot in the back bay with clams and clam chum and caught about 15 nice fish, although none of them were keeper size.

We weighed a nice fish for another customer “Anthony the Pirate” who caught a nice Bass, just shy of 20 pounds, on a clam at one of the Wantagh bridges. CLICK HERE to see his picture!

Frank Palmisano drifted a live bunker in the inlet, late last week, and landed this 22 pound 4 ounce Bass! Good Job Frank!

There is also a decent amount of action for those who are plugging in the back bays around high water!

From the surf, things were a little on the quiet side though with just a couple reports from scattered areas. Sounds like there are still plenty of Blues running around our area though. The few Bass reports we’ve had seem to be from the bsit fishing crowd. Fresh Bunker and Clams have been out-producing the lures on just about every beach!
