The summer of 2012 is definately upon us especially with these hot temperatures. With the hot temperatures comes warmer water temperatures and that is great for fluke, porgies and bluefish!
On the bluefish front they are catching fish by the Throgs Neck Bridge, Stepping Stone Lighthouse, Hempstead Harbor, Behind Execution Lighthouse, Along the shorelines from the Connecticut side beginning at Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye and as far east as Greenwich. Depth of water 15-30ft with some of the bigger bluefish caught in 40-50ft of water. Best bait is of course Jack's fresh bunker, mackeral and chumming is a must!
To keep the fish around your boat you must use chum, trust me on this one!
The night bite seems to be a little better than the day bite for both the bluefish and striped bass at this time.
On the fluke front they are catching fish at the Throgs Neck Bridge, the barges along the Throgs Neck Bridge, Big Tom, Eastchester Bay, the City Island gas dock, Hart's Island both the south and the north side, Gangeway Rock, Half Moon Beach, Sands Point, Prospect Point, Matinicock Point and further east in Bayville along the beaches and Oyster Bay. Best depth of water 15-25ft with larger fish being caught in 25-45ft of water. Best bait Jack's sure catch spearing, squid, and Jack's fresh bunker filets. Use any of these baits on Jack's fluke rigs or bucktails.
On the porgy front there are some people catching their limits of 20 porgies behind Execution Lighthouse, Prospect and Sands Point, Larchmont, Mamaroneck and Rye, Pea Island and Huckleberry Island and the old CBS tower. Best bait is of course Jack's Jumbo sandworms and bloodworms. Also Jack's fresh skimmer clams. Note for those that like squid it will also work. We have a variety of different squids in stock. As always especially for porgies, Chumming is a must!
Depth of water 10-20ft the shallower the better if you go deeper and find some structure you may also catch sea bass.
I have heard of a few reports of Weak Fish being caught off of the local points Prospect, Sands, Matinicock. Best bait is of course Jack's Jumbo sandworms. Best depth of water 20-30ft.
On a final note Big John wants everyone to know that the summer is here. Where are you?

There are thousands of pods and schools of bunker without bluefish under them or chasing them. Why do you think that is?
