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!
See You Soon!

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!
See You Soon!
