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.
