Fishing Report

Now that we are in the middle of May all species of fish seems to have turned on!  Starting with the striped bass there are fish being caught to 45 pounds in the local areas from the Throgs Neck Bridge to the Stepping Stone Lighthouse to Execution Lighthouse, Hempstead Harbor, Manhassett Bay and on the Connecticut shorelines off of Rye, Mamaroneck, Larchmont and Greenwich.  These fish are being caught in 20-40ft of water using Jack's Fresh Bunker, Jack's Jumbo Sandworms and Bloodworms and Jack's Special Chum.  Remember chumming is a must! The bunker have invaded the Western Long Island Sound and the Bluefish are also mixed with with these striped bass.  Bluefish 6-10 pounds are being caught anchored up in the middle of the sound behind Execution Lighthouse on chunks of bunker.

Believe it or not the flounder are still in the back of Eastchester Bay and Orchard Beach Lagoon with some fishermen catching the limits with no problem. Best bait Jack's Jumbo Sands and Jack's Jumbo Bloodworms and chumming is a must of course.

On the porgy front the porgies have moved in off all the points, Sands Point, Prospect Point,  Matinicock Point, Rye and also behind Execution Lighthouse.  These porgies are of the large variety with the limits  now 20 fish per person make for a fun day.  Best bait Jack's Jumbo Sands and Jumbo Bloodworms, fresh clams and of course chumming is a must to keep the fish around the boat.

The water temperatures are perfect or fishing and the weather this week will also be perfect for fishing so make sure and go fishing!

You can not catch fish sitting on a couch!

PS for the fluke enthusiasts they have also come into the western long island sound with fish to 5 pounds being caught off Sands Point, Prospect Point, Bayville, Hewlitt Point and by the barges and bridges.  Best Bait spearing, squid and fresh bunker filets. Best depth of water 10-20 feet.

PSS this has been the first time in many years I have seen many species of fish being caught in the same areas at the same time.

Jack's Rental Boat fleet is waiting to get you off the shores and fishing!

See You Soon!
