Shinnecock bay/Inlet/Ocean

The fluke continue to account for most of the action in the Shinnecock bay of course with plenty of sea robins in the mix. Lots of short fluke with the occasional keeper. No real specific location, just have to keep m...

 Its that time of year again. Dust off the rods and reels and hit the creeks and canals. Small stripers and weakfish are moving around and starting to feed. The bunker and other baitfish have been spotted around the bays. 

The grander picture is that the keeper bas...

     Today marks the start of fall and the fall striped bass run. The south shore beaches are starting to show signs of life with stripers, blues, and tons of bait fish mixed in. The stripers have been taking small paddle tail rubber baits in pearl or green.

Despite the heat, people are still going fishing; and with some decent luck too.

The ocean fluke bite has been steadily getting better. The better bite has been to the east of the inlet in 60 to 90 feet of water. A high/low rig with spearing and  6" Gulp! grubs is the t...

The fluke action has been good this past week. The east cut and the basket are producing some quality fish; as well as the ocean. Anywhere from 60 to 90 feet of water to the east of the inlet. The reef and wrecks are holding some good sized porgy and seabass with some...

Shinnecock Bay: Fluke are being caught in the basket and by Rampasture point. Lots of shorts and lots of robins mixed in but plenty of action none the less.

Ponquogue Bridge: The striper bite has been decent on clam belly chum with a few triggerfish mixed in too.

Ocean:...

Shinnecock bay/inlet/ocean

The fluke bite in the area is a tough one to nail down. It is mostly a hunting process with not much a pattern to go on. The bay has been very dirty to the west and full of robins near the inlet. The flats both east and west of the bridge have...

The fluke bite has been spotty this past week. The east cut, west cut, the basket and Rampasture all have fish; but most are shorts. Spearing and squid is your best choice for these guys. The ocean bite has only started to pick up this week with the warm temperatures....

Large stripers have been moving down the ocean beaches chasing the bunker schools. Snag and drop has been the best method, but trolling Mojo rigs through the schools is working too. The Ponquogue bridge is also holding some bass. Clam bellies for chum and whole clams o...

Summer has officially arrived; and with that the fishing is great. 

The striped bass bite around the Ponquogue bridge has been excellent on the outgoing tide. Anchor up with some clam chum or bellies to bring in those cows. Fluking in the bay is still good too; eas...
