Things are FINALLY LOOKING UP! Things are improving, except for the Flounder fishing in our area. Flounder action in these bays is still VERY slow… we’re telling people that if you spend the day targeting Flounder, and you get one… you had a GOOD DAY! We would still recommend looking in the creeks and canals on the North side of the bay, concentrating on the sticky mud bottoms and using LOTS of chum.

To the West, however, in Jamaica Bay and Raritan Bay, there has been some pretty consistent fishing. We don’t have many customers fishing those areas on their own, instead they’re hitting the party boats and catching their share!

Striped Bass haven’t made much of a showing in this bay yet, but we would expect to see this change ANY day now, especially with the nice weather we’re expecting this week. There are fish being caught in Jamaica Bay, Raritan Bay and in around Staten Island… typical of early spring. Sounds like mostly schoolie sized fish being caught on lures like the Tsunami Shads, small Bombers, Bucktails and assorted plastics. We have Fresh Bunker, Fresh / Frozen Clams and Live Eels in stock too!

Blackfish action seems to be improving nicely! We had a number of reports from the past weekend of fish being caught on the in-shore pieces in 40 to 60 feet of water. Spots like the Atlantic Beach Reef and the Hempstead Reef have been producing steady action using Clams. We have fresh clams in stock and a wide variety of Blackfish rigs as well.
