Seabass and Porgy Fishing Report – Long Island South Shore – 9-9-08

September 9th, 2008

Considering that the Fluke season is over and the Bass fishing has been VERY slow, many people have been visiting the local bridges, wrecks and reefs… and the fishing has been consistently good.

In the bay, Jones Beach Pier has had plenty of fish and believe it or not, some keeper sized fish! Joe, from the shop stopped at the piers yesterday with clams and hammered the porgies, saying that he couldn’t believe the size of them… MOSTLY keeper sized Porgies and PLENTY of them. We’ve had a number of other customers report similar fishing Sunday and Monday on clams and Sandworms. The Fin Strike Porgy rigs have been pretty hard to beat down there, the 461-2 and 461-4 are perfect sizes for that fishing.

The bridges closest to the inlet have also been producing some slammer Porgies and a few Seabass as well. Same deal as the piers, clams and sandworms on those Fin Strike rigs.

In addition, the Kingfish have started to show too, with fish from 12 to 18 inches being caught more and more now.
