Long Island Striped Bass Fishing Report… 05-13-08
May 13th, 2008
Mother Nature was LESS than cooperative the past few days and reports were few and far between. However, a few people braved the weather conditions and a few people managed to catch a FEW Bass. Sounds like the surf fishing was just about impossible, with the east wind bringing strong currents along the beaches, and TONS of weed, it made fishing extremely difficult. We heard of a few Blues caught on the back side of West End 2…. and that’s about it from the surf.
The boaters had a little more success though, with a few fish coming from the West Bar and the local bridges. Clam Chumming is definitely the way to go, especially with the crazy wind we’ve had. The “Big Meadowbrook” and the Third Wantagh gave up a few fish as well, clam chumming on the outgoing tide.
W e’re expecting some nicer weather for the next few days, so we should hear some better news… we’ll keep you posted!
