Are you ready to tackle the surf and reel in some impressive catches this fall season?  J & J Sports  has everything you need to gear up for this spectacular season.  Look no further than the south shore of Long Island, known as one of the best areas on the east coast for striped bass, bluefish, and weakfish. With the fall surf fishing season in full swing, now is the perfect time to gear up and head out for an unforgettable fishing experience.

Remember-Fishing for Striped Bass-When fishing with bait, including bunker and eels, it is important to remember that  Circle hooks are required as they are required. Additionally, the keepable size for striped bass falls within a slot between 28-31 inches.   Remember to follow the regulations,

Here are some tips for measuring a striped bass:

Total length is the longest straight line measurement from the tip of the snout, with the mouth closed, to the longest lobe of the tail, with the lobes squeezed together, and the fish laid flat on the measuring device.  

• Use a measuring board or lay a tape measure on the ground to ensure a straight line measurement
• Don't measure along the fish's body, as the curve will skew the length
• Firmly grasp the fish with both hands
• Make sure the head of the fish touches the zero mark on the measuring tool at the same time as the tip of the tail
• Pinch the tail together and measure from the closed mouth to the end of the pinched tail. Make sure the tail is stretched out as far as possible when you pinch it together. This is a straight line measure so it is recommended to use a measuring board or lay the tape on the ground.

What Makes the South Shore of Long Island Ideal for Fall Surf Fishing?

The south shore of Long Island offers a unique combination of factors that make it a prime location for fall surf fishing. The cool waters attract a variety of fish species, including the coveted striped bass, bluefish, weakfish and Albies too. The diverse underwater terrain and abundance of baitfish create the perfect conditions for a successful fishing trip.

 J & J Sports  has everything you need to gear up for this spectacular season. From Super Strike lures to Northbar tackle, Aquaskinz gear, waders, surf rods and Van Staal reels, and a variety of fishing tackle including bait and bucktails, they have you covered.

Surf Report-  with all the warmer water temperatures  around fishing seems to be most active during incoming tides.  The cool influx of clean water stimulates the local bass into action.  Back Bay fishing with patterns that simulate snappers and spearing  are the key.

Another exciting fall baitfish that we can possibly see this year is bunker. These fish have a tendency to move at times but if you can find them you have a shot at some large stripers. when trying to match a profile of bunker, Super Strike Lures like darters, bottle plugs, and large poppers resemble this profile. Usually the colors yellow and white to be most productive with this. 

TIP: On the south shore of long island look for the "north winds." Bunker tend to head straight into the wind so that would end up putting them on out south shore beaches.

Blues- Similar to stripers, blues are starting to pick up in action.  We have heard of a decent pick of fish in both moriches and Shinnecock Inlet on incoming tides. Tins and popping plugs have been doing the work.
