Fishing Report

Hey How You Doin' Out There In The Fishing World!?!
The month of May is here and the water temperature is still 51 degrees and this is good for the striped bass, the weakfish, the flounder, the fluke and the porgy fishing.

On the striped bass front: There are big fish being caught between the Throggs Neck and Whitestone Bridges, Fort Totten, The Wall at Maritime College, Stepping Stone Lighthouse, Execution Lighthouse, The mouth of Hempstead Harbor, Manhassett Bay, Little Neck Bay, New Rochelle, Mamaroneck and Rye. Best depth of water is 20-50 feet although are some fish are being caught in 15 feet but the majority are in the deeper water. Best bait: Jack's fresh bunker, Jack's Jumbo Sand and Bloodworms, Jack's live eels and Jack's sure catch clams. Fishing off the surf for striped bass is best by the Orchard Beach Lagoon, Rodman's Neck and Turtle Cove. Also there have been cocktail blues and weakfish mixed in with these striped bass in the last couple of days.

On the fluke front: May 1st was opening day and a few keepers have already been caught. Best areas are the barges and the bridges, in the channel behind Execution Lighthouse also by Prospect and Sands Points. Best bait: Jack's sure catch spearing, sand eels and squid, also filet of fresh bunker will do the trick.

On the flounder front: They are catching flounder in Eastchester Bay, Country Club, Orchard Beach Lagoon, Hudson Park and Harts Island. Best bait: Mussels, Jack's Jumbo Sand and Bloodworms with chumming a must.

On the porgy front: Opening day was May 1st and still no porgies caught as of yet. The water temperature is now 51 degrees but as soon the water temperature reaches 55 degrees this should make to be a very good porgy season. Best bait: Jack's Jumbo Sand and Bloodworms, Jack's sure catch clams and as with flounder chumming for porgies is a must!

This will probably be one of the best fishing years we have seen due to the gradual rather than sudden temperature increase this season.

Fishing Tip to Increase your odds of catching fish...Fishing more gets Fish on.

Jack's rental boats have been bringing in some great catches each day.

Welcome Back Fishing Report!

Welcome to the 2013 Fishing Season!




After a long cold, snowy, windy winter~spring is only two weeks away. The water temperature has been in upper 30's to low 40's which will make for a great spring and summer season. So here is what's happening in the fishing news...



First season to open is the striped bass season in the Hudson River north of the George Washington Bridge. That season opens March 16, 2013 and includes the areas around Croton, Tarrytown, The Tappan Zee Bridge, Piermont, Buchanan, Haverstraw and all along the shore lines of the Hudson River.



Whether you are fishing by boat or from the shore~Jack's Jumbo Bloodworms will do the trick. Other baits such as Jack's Fresh Herring,Jack's Fresh Bunker and Jack's live eels will also work well.



The next season to open after the Hudson River striped bass will be the New York flounder on April 1st and then the New York striped bass season opens on April 15th.



This looks to be an excellent fishing year so make sure to come down and get your new line on your reels and have your rods and reels serviced because you must remember that there is only one thing between you and that 50 pound striped bass~it's your line. Jack's will have all of these baits and extended hours starting Saturday March 9th.



Make sure to stop in and pick up your 2013 tide charts and size and limit sheets.



Jack's full fleet of motor boat rentals are ready to hit the high seas for the 2013 flounder season starting April 1st.
