Shinnecock Area Report 10/3/10

Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean
The weather is finally cooperating with the bass and temps are falling as we needed. The inlet and Ponquogue bridge are both producing fish but not in great numbers. We’ll have to wait and see what the fall temps produce. Best bet is live bait. The local wrecks and reef are holding sea bass and blackfish, just need a little cooperation from Mother Nature to get out of the inlet.

Beaches/Shore Bound
The beaches are beginning to show a little more action. Blues and bass can be found both east and west of the inlet. The inlet has rewarded anglers using bucktails with some keeper size bass.

NEWS

The Shinnecock Bass Bite

Once this weather moves out tonight the wind is forecast to turn around from the north. With it moving out of the NE on Sunday. Temps are expected to drop into the 40's at night next week, all good indicators that the bass bite should start to turn on next week. The weekend should not be a total loss as the north wind should lay the ocean and inlet down a bit. Give the beaches, inlet or Ponquogue bridge a shot this weekend and you should hook up. Good luck and see you out there.
