Fishing Reports

Yellow Perch can be another fun freshwater species to target in these "Slow" months. A simple float rig with a piece of a nightcrawler is all thats needed to have a good shot at them. Many of the Perch get quite fat this time of the year so be ready for a nice fight on a lighter pole.

Herring - many anglers have traded in the surf gear to catch some herring. The Herring bite can be productive up on the north shores of long island . sabiki rigs are the ideal tackel used to fish for herring

A nice spark of action lit up the south shore beaches this whole week. Countless schoolie Striped Bass could be found on all the beaches from east to west. Daytime as well as night time had similar

Blackfish have been keeping many busy who have decided to hit the wrecks and Artificial Reefs. ..............A nice spark of action lit up the south shore beaches this whole week. Countless schoolie Striped Bass could be found on all the beaches from east to west.

With gift giving season soon to be upon us, we have some suggestions for the angler in your family.  🎁   

 

On the wrecks and reefs the sea bass and blackfish fishing is still hot. Most of this fishing is done some deeper water now due to cooling water temps. 40 to 80 feet of water has been the best places to look, anglers fishing with rigs and jig are doing evry well with green crabs. With the jigs, it is a different way of fishing, which lets you use lighter tackle. The  blackfish jigs are well suited for targeting ocean blackfish, due to the quality components they are made of they a can pull some bulldog tautog out of the wrecks.

Blackfish "Tog" are being caught along the local south shore inlets and Jetty's, the north shore Brookhaven Fishing Piers and out east. Green Crabs whole or cut in half after removing the legs fished on a bottom rig or blackfish Jig will do the trick. 

Don’t forget November 11th is Veterans Day...”Take a Vet Fishing” It’s a nice way to say Thank You!!

Long Island has a smorgasbord of fish. Cod, Sea Bass, Striped Bass, Porgies, Triggerfish, Bluefish and Blackfish. Jigs worked well and bait did fine too. what to expect next month: Good fishing will continue!
