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!
