Striped Bass Report – Long Island South Shore – 7-28-08

July 28th, 2008

Typical of mid summer conditions, things have slowed up a little. There are still fish to be caught though, clam chumming, chunking and even plugging would be some of the better ways to try right now.

Any bridge or structure in the bay should be holding fish and as long as there is current, incoming or outgoing, you have a shot at seeing some fish. Although with the waters temps as warm as they are, the later part of the incoming is a good bet… bringing some cooler water with it. Fishing at night, in the dark, can also to be to your advantage right now… again, cooler surface temps and less boat traffic.

We’ve had a couple reports of fish caught on Eels in this area too. Not a ton of fish, but action none the less. A couple of the “sharpies” are picking a few fish out of the back bays and there have been a few fish caught in the inlet area too.

Wish we had more exciting news but…. welcome to the DOG DAYS OF SUMMER.

If anything changes, we’ll post it!

    The best way to do it would be contacting the various Bass clubs on Long Island, Long Island Bass and Atlantic Bass Masters are the two most popular and populous. More than likely you will have to let them know if you would be a boater or non-boater, based on this information each individual club will let you know if they have openings.
