Shinnecock & Peconic Fishing Report 5-5-24

More action has been reported in both Shinnecock and Peconic bays over the past week. Shinnecock has seen a good amount of striped bass make their way to the Ponquogue bridge and other western bay spots. The bluefish are beginning to make their presence known as well.  Local areas including Heddy creek, Quogue canal and Shinnecock canal have seen both blues and striped bass. The opening of both porgy and fluke season saw action on both species. The Peconic bay out near Jessups Neck saw a good amount of big porgies make it to the cooler. While a few fluke were seen and caught too, the porgies were the main target. Generally the best location to target early season fluke in Shinnecock bay is just south of the canal. Shinnecock canal has had reports of fluke, bluefish, striped bass and even a couple of blowfish.
