Shinnecock, Peconic and Offshore Report 7/11/10

Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean
Fluke in the bay, Rampasture, East cut and the flats at the back of the inlet have all produced nice fish, shallow water fluking at it’s finest. The ocean fluke bite continues to improve, 65 feet of water around the sea buoy or in front of the cheese house. The bass bite is slowing down with much smaller fish coming from the Ponquogue bridge area, best bet for a keeper is in the inlet on live bait on the night tides. Bluefish to 10lbs are ravaging baits in the inlet. The bay is loaded with sandeels and the ocean with anchovies great signs of what is to come.

Peconic Bay
Porgies around Rogers Rock

Beaches/Shore Bound
Triggerfish off the jetty of the Shinnecock Inlet along with a few porgies striped bass and blues. Fluke can be had at the inlet, bridge and canal. The beaches have been fairly quiet but Dave, a shop regular came in with a nice Spanish mackerel caught from the surf on Thursday. The north end of the canal continues to produce porgies.

Offshore
Lots of life is what everyone has been reporting, whales, porpoise, turtles and lots of bait. Sharking has been quiet, if your planning a trip run short, no more than 10 miles, the bait is close to shore or at 40 fathoms with the tuna bite of both blue and Yellowfin. The tuna bite off the edge in the deep as well. Mahi have been holding strong at the pots.

Shinnecock, Peconic and Offshore Report 7/4/10

Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean
Fluking is good in the bay both east and west of the bridge; jigging small bucktail continues to be the way to land the trophy fish. The ocean bite is finally beginning to turn on with the arrival of the squid to our area. The wrecks are still holding sea bass along with some small cod and ling. Striped bass in the inlet and out in 50-60 feet of water. Large Bluefish are in the inlet.

Peconic Bay
Porgies and Bluefish are holding strong around Robins Island

Beaches/Shore Bound
The Shinnecock canal has produced both porgies and fluke. The inlet is keeping anglers happy with large trigger fish blues and bass with the occasional fluke. The beaches have been quiet although the bass are running the beaches in deeper waters and should produce the occasional fish.

Offshore
Shark reports have gotten better with more reports of makos and threshers and less blue sharks. Don’t overrun the fish the waters are warming quick look for the 68 degree water. Tuna reports are getting better too. The Hudson bite has slowed but the report is there are bluefin with bigeyes and Yellowfin mixed in around 35-40 fathoms. The amount of life in this area has been unbelievable, birds, whales, porpoise and lots of bait to hold them. Did hear of Yellowfin coming out of the Atlantis area too.
