Fishing Report
We are now approaching the most productive fishing time of the year from now October 20th through November 30th the next 40 days will prove to be some of the best fishing around.
As the water temperature drops the different schools of fish begin to school up and migrate.
On the bluefish front they are catching fish to 15 pounds or better from the Throgs Neck and Whitestone Bridges, Stepping Stone Lighthouse, and east behind Execution Lighthouse in water depths of 20 to 40 ft. Jack's fresh bunker is the best for these fish also fresh holy mackerel.
The striped bass are also being caught in the same areas as the bluefish with anchoring up and chumming with Jack's fresh clam chum and bunker chum is definitely the ticket. Bass are being caught from 15 inches to 52 inches from Battery Park east to Execution Lighthouse. These fish will stay around right till the end until it is either too windy or too cold to get to them. PS You should also try Jack's Jumbo bloodworms, sandworms, fresh clams and squid for these striped bass.
On the porgy front there are still monster porgies being caught on the party boats, the private boats and the rental boats. They are beginning to move east as it gets colder but there are still some nice fish to be caught thanks to the extension of the 2011 porgy season. Of course best bait is Jack's Jumbo sandworms, bloodworms and fresh clams. PS chumming is a must!
On the blackfish front as the water temperature drops these fish will turn on stronger and stronger each day. Depth of water 15-30 ft. As we get to the end of October and into November 30-80 ft will be the trick.

Fishing Report
As we come to the end of the summer of 2011 we look forward to the beginning of the fabulous fall season! The water temperature will begin to drop day by day causing the fish to school up and feed agressively.
On the striped bass front they are still catching fish to 25 pounds in shallow water by Hart's Island, the CBS tower, Throgs Neck and Country Club along the shore in depths of 5-10ft. Best bait Jack's jumbo sandworms, Jack's fresh bunker and Jack's fresh skimmer clams. This season will be open until December 15th and as we closer to the month of November they will school up where you can catch them using diamond jigs.
On the fluke front they are still catching fluke off all the points, barges and bridges in 20-40ft of water using Jack's fresh filet of bunker, Jack's jumbo spearing and squid combination. We have 2 more weeks left of fluke season. Fluke season will close September 30th. The porgy season will end for recreation boaters September 26th so make sure to get out and get your porgies for the closing bell. If you would like to continue to catch porgies you can do so on one of the fishing boats behind our store daily after Sept. 26th. Their daily limit is 40 porgies per person.
On the bluefish and snapper front they are still here with snappers feeding like crazy on spearing and by also using snapper poppers and shiny snapper lures. The bluefish are eating Jack's fresh bunker and they are catching them along the shorelines and out in the middle of the long island sound. If in a boat make sure you use chum. Chumming is a must!
Long Island sound has the best fall fishing so get out and do some!
See you soon!

Fishing Report
As we approach the hottest days of summer we also approach the hottest fishing of summer. August and September are two of the best months for great fluke fishing, blue fishing, porgy fishing and believe it or not striped bass fishing.
On the bluefish front they are catching bluefish in all of the harbors from little neck to Manhasset to Hempstead on the long island side and also on the Connecticut side from Larchmont to Mamaroneck to Rye. These bluefish are swimming into the sound chasing the bunker east. Even if you do not see the bunker the bluefish are on the bottom all you need is a chunk of Jack's fresh bunker to catch these blues.
On the striped bass front yesterday July 31st Captain Dan from the Island Current Fleet landed 5 keeper bass to 25 pounds and dropped a few very large fish. This says that the bass are difinately still here in the Western Long Island Sound. For both the blues and the bass Jack's fresh bunker, fresh mackeral, Jack's fresh clam and Jack's Jumbo sandworms are the best bait. Remember chumming is a must to keep the fish around your area!
PS Make sure to come in and sign up for the Greatest Bluefish Contest on Earth. All T-shirts and registration forms are here at Jack's. The contest is Aug. 27-28, 2011.
On the fluke front because of the tremendous amount of bluefish chewing up the bunker large schools of large fluke have invaded the Western Long Island Sound. These fish are being caught from the Whitestone and the Throggs Neck Bridges to all of the points east Hewlett Point, Prospect Point, Matinicock Point, Sands Point and also along the beaches of Bayville, Harts Island, The Blouses, Big Tom, by the City Island bridge, City Island gas dock and along the gravel barges. Best bait of course is Jack's Jumbo spearing and fresh cut sushi grade squid and strips of Jack's fresh bunker. All on fluke rigs, fluke hooks or buck tails. August are the two best months for fluke fishing. We have an extended season this year until the end of September.
So make sure to get out these next 60 days and fish hard for these fluke you may be rewarded with a 15 pounder.
On the porgy front the porgies have been dodging the bluefish for the past few weeks in the areas of New Rochelle, Larchmont, Mamaroneck and Rye also by Sands Point, Prospect Point and Execution Lighthouse. People have been catching their limit fishing in 15-25 feet of water using Jack's Jumbo sandworms, Jumbo bloodworms and Jack's fresh clams. Remember chumming is a must for porgies too.
So for the next 60 days Jack's advice is to fish hard, fish long for a fish on.

Fishing Report
The 2011 summer fishing season is officially here. The Western Long Island Sound experiences some of its best fishing at this time. We have a variety of fish starting with fluke. These fish can be caught around Hart's Island, Prospect Point, Sands Point, Matinicock Point, Bayville Beaches, Throggs Neck Bridge, The Barges, Hewlitt's Point, Eastchester Bay, The City Island Gas Dock, and just inside the channels by the City Island Bridge. The trick to catching these fish is to use buck tails, fluke rigs, spearing and squid combo, bunker filets-all of course Jack's Bait. Depth of water 20-50 feet. Big Tom is also a good area to drift for these fluke. The fluke season will continue through September 30th with 3 fish per person at 20 and a half inches. As the water warms the catch and the size will increase. Putting in the time will definitely increase your chances of catching those door mats.
On the striped bass front there are still fish up to 40 pounds being weighed in here at Jack's. They are catching these fish behind Execution Lighthouse on the Rye/Mamaroneck/Connecticut side of the Long Island Sound. They are fishing from 20-50 feet using nothing other than Jack's fresh bunker.
On the bluefish front they are catching bluefish from 8-12 pounds behind Execution Lighthouse in the middle of Long Island Sound from 20-40 feet of water. Best bait is Jack's fresh bunker. These fish are moving through daily and the trick is to anchor up and wait out the tide. The bluefish will continue to be in this area and get bigger as the summer progresses.
On the porgy front...They are running from the bluefish at this time and are a little further east in the Long Island Sound. As the bluefish move through and the porgies find their areas to hide they will move closer towards the western Long Island Sound. These fish are being caught in 10-20 feet of water using Jack's Jumbo sandworms and bloodworms also Jack's fresh skimmer clams and squid. Chumming is a must to keep these porgies around the boat. Best area Propect Point, Sands Point, Matinicock Point, Bayville, Larchmont, Mamaroneck and Rye.
Take note in order to catch fish you must put in the time. The weather is beautiful, the fish are hungry and you should be too!

Fishing Report
We are now in the infamous month of June, this is the month that everything comes together at one time in Long Island Sound.
On the striped bass front we are weighing in fish to 47 pounds-from private boats, rental boats and party boats,along the shoreline fish to at least 40 pounds are being caught. The best bait is of course Jack's fresh bunker, let me repeat Jacks fresh bunker these fish are in 20-50ft of water and are being caught from the Throggs Neck Bridge, Stepping Stone Lighthouse, Hewlitt Point, Prospect Point, Fort Toten and behind Execution Lighthouse, by Buoy 42, both on the Long Island and the Conn. sides, Mamaroneck, Rye and Port Chester are also doing very well. There are bluefish mixed in with these bass from 2-10 pounds, remember to wait out the tide as fresh schools of fish are swimming through on every tide.
For those fishermen who want to keep the fish around their boat make sure to use plenty of Jack's fresh ground bunker and clam chum. On the porgy front the porgies are coming in in droves off of Prospect Point, Sands Point, Matinicock Point, Bayville, Oyster Bay and Smithtown Bay. There has been no problem on the party boats, private boats and rental boats catching your limit. Best bait Jack's jumbo sand worms and blood worms, fresh clams and squid, remember chumming is a must! These fish are being caught in 15-25ft of water.
As we get closer to the middle of June these fish will be all around this entire area.
On the fluke front we have been weighing in fish from 3-7 pounds. There are plenty of throw backs in the mix to make for great action, as the water temperature gets warmer the larger fluke will invade the Western Long Island Sound. These fish are being caught off Harts Island, the barges, the bridges and all the points, Prospect, Sands, Matinicock etc. Best bait is Jacks sure catch spearing, sand eels and squid combo on either a buck tail or one of Jacks famous fluke rigs. The depth of water 25-40ft while drifting the tide is best.
Due to the inclement weather we had this spring it has set up a great fishing season, keeping the water temperature just right so expect a fabulous fishing season. As the days progress make sure to take advantage of every day and get out and go fishing, remember a bad day fishing is always better than a good day at work!

Hey How You Doing Out There In The Fishing World!?!
As we approach the biggest weekend of the unofficial start of summer the striped bass are invading the Long Island Sound. These fish are coming out of the Hudson, caught under the bridges and in the channels from the Stepping Stone Lighthouse to Execution Lighthouse and also in the harbors of Manhasset and Hempstead bays. The bunker have shown up in the backs of the harbors and the bass are chewing them up. These fish are in 20-40ft of water. I have weighed in fish from 20-30 pounds. Some stripers are being caught off the local shore lines also. There are a few cocktail blues mixed in too. I cannot emphasize enough that the more and harder you fish now the greater the results will be on catching these nice size striped bass.
The Porgy Season officially opens May 24th. These large fish are being caught way up in the Eastern Long Island Sound. The party boats have special RSA permits so they have been catching these fish for the past week. The Island Current is sailing daily at 8am for jumbo porgies and with the permit you can keep up to 40 fish per person.

Fishing Report and More...
As we put the winter of 2010-11 behind us we have nothing but good weather and fishing in front of us. As of March 16th 2011 The striped bass season will open in the Hudson River north of the George Washington Bridge. Already there have been reports of fishermen catching and releasing striped bass by the Tappan Zee Bridge, Piermont Pier, Croton Park, and along the shores of Ossining and Tarrytown. There is only one bait that works this time of the year and that is of course Jack's Jumbo Bloodworms! You must be sure to ask for them by name no matter where you purchase your worms! Jack's Jumbo Bloodworms are sure catch bait every time! We have weighed in some of the biggest striped bass in past seasons caught on these worms. As the water temperature rises of course they will also be feeding on Jack's fresh bunker. Again make sure to ask for it by name! The store is fully stocked with the 2011 merchandise from rods and reels to hooks and rigs to line and sinkers. With all that is going on in the world there is no better time then now to get out and go fishing! Take a friend, Take a family member and make a day of it. Our store hours are now 8am to 6pm seven days a weeks and as the month progresses so will the business hours. The family at Jack's looks forward to seeing your here for all of your fishing needs.
PS The rental boats and the party boats sailing from Jack's will begin April 1st 2011.
