WESTERN SOUND JUNE 2017: STRIPED BASS TACTICS

June is the best month of the year for Striped Bass fishing in the Western Long Island Sound! There always seems to be BIGGER Stripers caught and lost during this month...May 30th, 2017

Take A Shot At Tidal Creek Bass

The month of May can be a magical time for Long Island anglers. The freshwater lakes are bursting with action, doormat fluke lure their faithful to the North and South forks, and the first keeper stripers are already making waves along the South Shore.May 2nd, 2017

For Doormats Stripbaits Reign Supreme

Many fluke anglers believe that doormat fluke love big baits. I’m one of them, and reports I’ve taken over the years, along with my own log books, prove this theme holds water. For fluke weighing eight pounds or more, long strips of squid, sea robin and bluefish show up time and again in tales of trophy catches, especially during the first few weeks of the season.May 1st, 2017

Western Sound May 2017

The Western Long Island Sound is starting to warm up nicely; the Ospreys have been here since early April, catching Bunker, and building their nests. Striped Bass are in Little Neck Bay, Manhasset Bay, Eastchester Bay and Hempstead Harbor also feeding on Bunker. May 1st, 2017

TIME FOR TROUT

The waters of Massapequa Reservoir were crystal clear and slightly rippled as I sent a 1/8-ounce gold Panther Martin Classic spinner out on the first cast of the morning.Mar 28th, 2017

WESTERN SOUND APRIL 2017

Flounder are being caught by the bushel; reports of many fifty pound Striped Bass being caught in the back of Manhasset Bay on live Bunker, including one cow that went sixty–seven pounds...Mar 28th, 2017

Word On The Bite: FINAL TOUCHES TO SPRING FISHING ARSENAL

You would think that between the holidays and outdoors show season, I’d have all the gear I could possibly carry, store or hide from loved ones heading into the spring season.Mar 28th, 2017

First Fishing Pole

It’s blowing a blizzard outside, a whiteout as I start writing today and fishing is the furthest thing from my mind. So I thought it would be fun to go in a different direction to keep you entertained and maybe bring some of your own memories to mind. Do you remember your first fishing pole?Mar 3rd, 2017

“BASS ACKWARDS” FISHING

It was one of those mornings when nothing was going right. I was late getting up, the sun was already intense and I had left a bagful of new jigs I wanted to try sitting on a stump next to my driveway. Mar 1st, 2017

WINTER COD: KEEP IT SIMPLE

Reports of fair to good codfish action have been the rule across Long Island this winter. Montauk, as is often the case, has seen the most consistent catches but some scores have also been recorded on vessels sailing from Shinnecock, Captree, and Freeport. Feb 10th, 2017
