Unfortunately, no significant changes. The fishing still seems pretty hit and miss and it sounds like the bait fishing has been a little better than plugging. From the beaches, the better reports have been coming from Democrat Point and Robert Moses Field 5 on fresh Bunker and Sandworms. Over the weekend, there were some fish caught at Demo on worms and the reports from Field 5 sounded like it was all on chunks. Late last week there was a day or two with some decent fishing on chunks at Jones Beach Field 6, but not much since then.

However, Joe from the shop has been catching the Bluefish pretty well in the evenings at West End 2 on the back side. Last night he said the fishing was real good… and ALL on poppers. He was using the Super Strike Little Neck Poppers and the Gibbs Polaris Poppers.

We’ve also been hearing of some nice FLUKE (yes, Fluke) caught at night at the Coast Guard Station, Jones Beach Piers and Overlook Piers… in the dark, as long as the lights are on. Small white twister tails and the Berkley Gulp 4″ Swiming Mullets, fished on lead heads have been doing the trick!
