Updated: June 29, 2009 – The saltwater fishing in the New York waters has continued to improve so has the ocean bottom fishing. Our latest reports indicate that Sea bass still dominate the ocean bottoms but we have been hearing some porgies, ling and codfish thrown into the mix. On a more positive note, the dogfish seemed to have thinned out which has made the fishing a little more enjoyable.

The best place to fish the bottoms are in 40-70 feet of water and on any hard bottom. Finding a concentration of keepers in one spot has been the daunting task so keep moving around to find a decent catch.

Also in the mix have been fluke. This is pretty good news considering the Fluke Fishing Season reopens this Friday, July 3rd. Addtional reports also indicate that there have been a good amount of fluke in the bay.
