Fishing Report

Today on Sept. 10th 2009 all the boats private, rental and party boats were all unable to get out due to the North East winds blowing 20-30mph but fear not Sat., Sun., and all next week look to be beautiful weather so everybody will be able to get out. The North East winds have blown in the porgies and bluefish right here in the local areas around Hart's Island, Execution Lighthouse, Pea Island, Huckleberry Island, Davis Island, The CBS tower, Throgs Neck Bridge, Stepping Stone Lighthouse and Little Neck Bay.

On the porgy front there is no problem catching your limit on your private boats or the rental boats at 10 fish per person 10 and a half inches or on the party boats 45 fish 11in per person. Best bait is Jack's jumbo sandworms, jumbo blood worms, fresh clams and frozen squid. The depth of water is 15-20ft. in all the local areas. On the bluefish front fish from 8-14 pounds are being caught behind Execution Lighthouse, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye and also in Hempstead Harbor and Manhassett Harbor. Best bait is Jack's fresh bunker.

Striped bass fishing has also come back some with guys along the shoreline and in shallow water catching keeper size bass from 28-34 inches caught all on Jack's jumbo sandworms, fresh bunker or fresh clams. The striper fishing will continue to get better for the fall run as the water temperature begins to drop.

The porgy fishing is at its peek right now and will continue to do well until the closing day for private boats, rental boats and for shore fishermen until Sept. 26th. You will be able to fish on Sept. 26th after this date you will need to get on a party boat and will be able to keep the 45 fish 11in limit until Oct. 15th.

Oct. 1st will be the opening day for blackfish and the store will be stocked with the different variety of crabs, fiddler, green, Asian etc.

As we get closer to the end of the summer the cooler temperatures will drop the water temperatures and in turn the fall fishing will become red hot! So make sure to take advantage of this upcoming fantastic fall fishing season these upcoming months are known for being the best of the year.

See You Soon
