Shinnecock bay/inlet/ocean The Shinnecock bay has plenty of fluke action throughout the bay but keepers are a grind to find. Just enough keepers to keep your interest. Skinny, warmer water has been best. Squid/spearing combos and gulp all working. The bunker schools out in the ocean are still producing trophy striped bass if you can find the right school otherwise its bluefish you will tangle with. There are a few keeper bass failing for drifted live baits in the inlet or near the bridge.Out on the Shinnecock reef the sea bass have been cooperating. Many boats are coming home with their limits. Peconics Weakfish are in the deeper holes in the eastern bay areas and taking flags of squid. Porg
Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean The most popular target this past week has been the striped bass. Huge schools of bunker are outside our inlet both east and west with big bluefish and big bass on them. You will need to work to find the right school but when you do hold on. Live lining the bunker is the best bait. Fifty pound bass have been caught and safely released. The fluke bite is slowly improving in the bay but you still need to move around alot to put fish in the box. The Ponquogue bridge area and the Shinnecock inlet are holding schoolie bass and bluefish.

The fluke have also been reported from the 90 foot area out beyond the Shinnecock reef. Squid/Spearing and gulp all working. Bluefish continue to please those who are just looking to bend a rod. The inlet and bridge areas have regular action on plugs, bucktails tins and spoons. The striped bass bite has been fairly good out on the bunker schools east and west of the inlet. Reports of fish to 50lbs have been caught and released in recent days. Lots of bluefish corralling the bunker too outside. Drifted live
Shinnecock bay/Inlet/Ocean The bluefish continue to dominate the report this week. Both the gators and the cocktails are in the inlet, around the bridge and outside the inlet too. Tins, bucktails and soft plastics are all doing the job. The fluke bite seems to be improving with the better weather and sun warming the waters. The western end of Shinnecock bay has been better but we did have some reports of fluke near the inlet. Try targeting the flats for that warmer water. Gulp, squid and spearing all working. The striped bass are still here but a bit more challenging to get due to the amount of bluefish. Live baits drifted in the inlet along with clams have accounted for a few fish. Peconic
