Thanksgiving Weekend Fishing Forecast 🎄 Holiday Gift Guide 🎄 Freshwater Fishing Update🎄Holiday Recipes

For boats some great Striped Bass fishing continues along our ocean beaches in 30+ feet of water. The main bulk of the fish have set up between Moriches and Jones inlet. A lot of teen sized fish are coming up but it is not uncommon to have some fish to 30lbs plus on any given trip. The method of choice for going after these fish recently has been "jigging" them. Diamond jigs in sizes from A-27 up to A-67 have been the ticket

With gifting giving season soon to be upon us, we have some suggestions for the angler in your family.  🎁   J&J Sports - Holiday Gift Ideas

The November Bite Is Still Going Strong • Get Ready For The Holidays w Holiday Appetizer : Tortilla Chip Scoops
In the ocean, the boats are still doing good with jigging for stripers. These fish are on sand eels and bunker so diamond jigs with tubes are best for replicating sandeels. It has been all day action, with things usually starting up at first light and lasting until sundown. There has been topwater action too, if you see birds working you can cast swimshads, bucktails and popping plugs in to the frenzy. Trolling lures are producing BIG fish.  Patchogue locals are producing fish up to 50lbs!!!!!

 A couple of tips when blackfishing...Always bring extra rigs, jigs and sinkers. Losing them is inevitable. They will either get caught in the rocks or a larger fish can break you off when they run for the rocks. Also you want to use a rod that is fairly heavy so that you can yank the fish out of the rocks. Try using a reel with a higher gear ratio. This would help you gain leverage on the fish. Use at least 40 to 50 pound braid on that reel. Bring along at least 2-4 dozen crabs if you plan on fishing for a bit. If the bite is hot you will be going through bait quickly.

In the Surf,  Anglers have been focusing around Smith Point County Park  and Shinnecock Inlet for bass and are getting good numbers of small to medium sized fish using diamond jigs,  needlefish or bucktails.
The use of a teaser is helping. Getting double headers is not uncommon when fishing with a feathered of plastic teaser above the lure.
Don't underestimate the Local docks for some exciting Bass action too. The 18-24' fish have been sought after throughout the Great South Bay. Plenty of action, lots of fun but not many keepers.
