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.
