Fall Fishing Report

Hey How You Doing Out There In The Fishing World!?!




Now that we are coming to the end of the 2012 summer season we can look forward to some of the best fishing of the year! The fall is when all of the different species of fish come together and begin to feed for their long journey east.



So on the fishing fronts...



Fluke~The season remains open till September 30th. They are catching fluke in 20-50 feet of water on spearing, squid strips, Jack's Fresh Bunker and live snapper. The best areas are in the channels between Harts Island, High Island, Prospect and Sands Points and in between the Throggs Neck and Whitestone Bridges.



Bluefish~Alligator Blues have moved in! Reports of 10-15 pound fish are being caught anywhere out in the middle especially behind Execution Lighthouse. The best bait is Jack's Fresh Bunker and Mackeral. These blues will stay around for at least 2 more months because water temperatures are getting lower.



Striped Bass~They have been catching some schoolys in shallow water with Jack's Jumbo Sand and Blood worms AND Jack's Fresh Bunker. The best spots are Harts Island, High Island and The CBS antenna.



Porgy~ They are catching nice size fish in 20-30ft of water with some fish being caught in 10ft of water. The best baits are Jack's Jumbo Sand and Blood worms and Jack's Sure Catch Clams. The best areas are Pea Island, Huckleberry Island, David's Island and Hens and Chicken. The areas these fish are being caught is Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye, Sands,Prospect, and Matinicock Points as well as further east.



With the water temperature as warm as they are the porgies, blues, weak and all other species will be around for a long time.



Remember~This is definitely the best time of year to fish! The weather is beautiful, the water temperatures are just right and the fish are hungry. Don't waste another day inside! Get Out And Go Fishing!



PS Blackfish Season opens October 8th and stays open until December 4th.



See You Soon!
