Fishing Fun for Everyone!

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?

Captain Al on the Miller Time checks in

Big John,




I went out with my buddy, Sean Brady , for an action packed night of bass & blues aboard MillerTime. I put a 43 lb bass in the boat and Sean and I combined for a total of 18 bass. We had a few in the mid 20's but most ran in the mid to high teens. There were 3 shorts.



Additionally, there were no shortage of bluefish.

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!
Big John
