Area Reports

Shinnecock
Fluke to 8 lbs were weighed in on opening day, falling to local squid spearing combo around the sea buoy. Plenty of shorts in the ocean, keepers were hard to come by. Those targeting fluke in the Shinnecock Canal have been finding the occasional keeper. The north end of the canal is producing many bluefish.
Plenty of bluefish in Shinnecock Bay, just look for the birds, throw an AVA jig and you should be rewarded. Bass can be found at the Ponquogue Bridge and at Shinnecock Inlet, clam or bunker chunks for bait or top water plugs.

Peconic
Bluefish can be found anywhere; they have taken over the bay. Bass are at Cow neck and National. The fluke bite around the Greenlawn area was very good although the ratio of keepers to shorts was very low. Porgies are here in good numbers, should bold well for the opener on the 24th. Give Rogers Rock a shot. We have sandworms and clam chum on hand for the opener.

Beaches
The ocean beaches from Moriches to Montauk continue to produce both blues and bass although the wind did put a hamper on the efforts. Baiters should use clams or bunker chunks, top water plugs have been doing the trick in the lure dept. Bucktails have caught their share as well. In Peconic, both National and Cow Neck have seen bass and blues and a weakfish here and there.

Now open at 5am weekends and 6am weekdays.
