Fishing Report

The flounder and striped bass fishing has picked up tremendously! The water temperature has risen to about 52 degrees which has caused the striped bass and the flounder to go on a feeding frenzy! We have been weighing in striped bass all weekend long from 20-25 pounds. Best bait sandworms, bloodworms, and fresh bunker. The best areas to catch these fish right now are the Throgs Neck Bridge, Little Neck Bay, Eastchester Bay, Hempstead Harbor, Oyster Bay, Manhassett Bay and Orchard Beach Lagoon. If you are into fly fishing they are catching bass in Turtle Cove. As the weather gets better and the water temperature warms the fish will become bigger and the fishing will get better. Looking forward to seeing you here at Jack's for all your fishing needs!

Wishing you tight lines until next time!
