Today Sept. 21, 2009 is the final day of summer and as the summer season ends the water temperature and the fishing is at its best. Saturday Sept. 26th will be the final day for porgy fishing on private boats, rental boats and also from the shore. After Sat. you must get on a party boat or a charter boat to be able to fish for porgies until Oct. 15th with a bag limit of 45 fish per person at least 11 inches. This past weekend porgy fishing was excellent with fish to 3 pounds being caught in 25-35ft of water in all the local areas such as Pea Island, Huckleberry Island, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye, Execution Lighthouse, Prospect and Sands Point. Best bait Jack's jumbo sandworms and jumbo bloodworms as well as Jack's famous fresh clams in and out of the shell. Also remember to use plenty of chum so you can attract and keep the fish around the boat, chumming is a must!
On the bluefish and striped bass fronts there has been 14-16 pound bluefish being caught by the Throgs Neck, Stepping Stone Lighthouse, Ft. Tonten, and also by Maritine College. These fish are in between 20-40ft of water with Jack's famous fresh bunker being your best bet. They are also eating mackeral and live snapper. The striped bass have been caught on Jack's jumbo sands, Jack's famous fresh bunker(preferably the head) and Jack's fresh clams. There are some live squid in the sound so some of these big stripers are eating the live squid. Early morning or late evening is the best bet for these striped bass which are now starting to come back into the Long Island Sound. I can not emphasize enough that the next 60 days of fishing is best here in the Western Long Island Sound. So please make sure to get out and enjoy every nice from now till then.
A small note: blackfish season will open Thursday Oct. 1st and Jack's will be carrying a full line of crabs and clams including green crabs, fiddler crabs, Asian crabs, and white crabs.
See You Soon!
