Fishing Report
This past week has proven to be a real seafood medley being one of the most productive weeks in catching the most variety of fish.
On the bluefish front there are blues from 6 to 10 pounds in every harbor Hempstead, Manhasset, and behind Execution Lighthouse, Rye, Mammaroneck and Larchmont. These fish are feeding on fresh bunker also trolling has been producing some bigger fish out behind Execution Lighthouse. The best trolling lures are surgical tubes and umbrella rigs. You also stand a chance of catching a keeper striper while trolling and fishing for the bluefish.
On the porgy front there have been large humpback porgies being caught inside Sands Point, Prospect Point, Matinicock, Larchmont, Mammaroneck and Rye. Best bait are sandworms, bloodworms and fresh clams using plenty of chum to keep the fish around the boat is a must! Remember small fish attach big fish.
On the fluke front there is absolutely no problem going out and catching your limit or close to it fish to 8 pounds have been caught off Big Tom, Throgs Neck, Stepping Stone, Harts Island, even as close as The City Island Bridge. The further east you go and the deeper the water you fish the bigger the fluke seem to be. Best bait spearing, sand eels, squid on buck tails or fluke rigs whatever your preference. Be different try some live killies! Remember fluke season closes September 1 so you have eactly two weeks to get out and get your fair share of these nice size fluke.
On the snapper front City Island, all along the shores of Long Island, Westchester, Connecticut and even the South Shore of Queens and Brooklyn has been snapper haven. Everyone has been enjoying these the snapper fishing with snapper poppers, snapper lures and spearing for bait and they have also been enjoying watching them grow day by day.
Big John's prediction is that Sept and Oct are probably going to be the two best months for fishing in the past 20 years! As the water temperature drops and the cool fall air returns and replaces the hot summer air the fish that are now in our area feeding on all of the bait will be in a frenzy.
Good Luck Catch em up!

Fishing Report
As we approach the unofficial end of the summer the weather and the fishing could not be better! Water temperature is about 75 degrees which makes for a variety of species on the feed.
First off fluke fishing in the local areas of stepping stone lighthouse, big tom, harts island, prospect and sands point, matinicock point even as close as the city island bridge are producing fish to 7 pounds. Jimmy Cedeno and Tony Ortiz landed up to 7 pound fluke which they brought in to the shop this Sat. using a spearing and squid combo on a hi-lo fluke rig these gentlemen are regulars at Jack's and they fish as often as they can.
Remember they call it fishing not catching so in order to increase your odds of catching you need to fish more often.
On the bluefish front one of Big John's motor boat rental regulars Ricardo from miami landed 8 bluefish to 12 pounds between the stepping stone lighthouse and the throgs neck bridge. There are a few ways to catch these bluefish now using fresh bunker of course, remember Big John has the best prices for fresh bunker 6 for $5 and 12 for $10, or trowling with umbrella rigs and surgical tubes. The best areas are hempstead harbor, manhassett bay, stepping stone lighthouse, throgs neck bridge and behind execution lighthouse.
Also keep in mind the WICC BLUEFISH is Aug. 23rd and 24th! You have until Fri. Aug. 22nd by 8pm to sign up for $35 for a chance to win $25,000! You Got To Be In It To Win It!
On the porgy front nice size scup are being caught off of new rochelle, behind execution lighthouse, pea island, huckleberry island, hen and chicken. If you would like to travel a little further east you can try the points off of prospect points, sands point and matinicock point. Sandworms, bloodworms, fresh clams and plenty of chum will get the job done.
There are a few schooly bass for those enthusiasts who enjoy light tackle catch and release most of the larger bass have moved much further east. Along all the shores, beaches and bridges the kids have been enjoying snapper fishing with spearing, lures and snapper poppers.
On a final note the best fishing is yet to come as the seasons change and the water temperature begins to drop ushering in the promise of a fabulous fall fishing season!
See you soon!
