Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean
Fluking in the bay is still providing the best shot at landing a keeper. Rampasture and the basket have seen some of the better action. The ocean bite has provided a fe keepers for the box out in 80' of water and around the reef. Live bait will increase your odds, huge killies or jig up a few live snappers that have now moved throughout the bay. The bassing is slowing as it shoulsd during the heat of the summer but the clam chummers and those working the night tides in the inlet are still being rewarded with a decent bite. Blues up to and bigger than 36" are in the inlet too. Seabass continue to be a target due to the large number of short fluke around. If this interests you head out to the reef and look for the smaller pieces, the larger pieces have been picked over heavily.
Peconic Bay
The Peconics are holding plenty of porgies, Robin's Island, Roger's rock, Gardner's bay, a ll good spots to set up. Clam chum, worms and clam baits all working.
Shorebound/Surf
The inlet continues to produce triggers, sea bass, bass and blues. The night tides are best for the bass, and clam bait will catch you any of the above. The south facing beaches have some blues, bass and even a bonita or two mixed in. Diamond jigs, clam baits and swimming plugs all working. Dawn and dusk have provided the best action. The canal has porgies, fluke and snappers. the snappers need to grow a bit but thet=y are here.
Offshore
Sharking remains good and are well within the run of the smaller boats. Threshers and makos both common. The bluefin bite is decent as well, look for some life and start trolling.

Shinnecock, Peconic and Offshore Report 7/10/11
Shinnecock Bay/Inlet/Ocean
The fluke bite in Shinnecock bay has finally started producing some keepers. I now hear the ratio has improved to 15:1. Weighed in a 5 1/2lb fluke caught by the youngster, Jackson Eckart, fishing with his Grandfather Bill Horan on the 4th from the east cut (photo attached) and a 8 1/2lb fluke caught by Bill Brewer this week of Rampasture point on a live Jumbo killie. The bass bite is still good in the inlet on both live and clam baits, but not as good as it was. Blues still ravaging the baits in the inlet and bay. Trigger fish are coming out of the inlet also on clam baits. The reef outside the inlet continues to produce some quality seabass, porgies and a few fluke.
Peconic Bay
The Robins Island area continues to produce porgies, clam and worm baits along with clam chum will keep them under your boat.
Shorebound/Surf
The Shinnecock inlet continues to produce bass, blues, triggers and a few porgies. The bass are coming on both baits and bucktails on the night tides. The canal has seen porgies at the noth end and a few fluke at the southern end. The ocean beaches are starting to show more signs of life this week both east and west of the inlet, with both bass and blues falling to clam baits as well as swimming plugs in the dark. The Ponquogue bridge is holding some nice live baits in the dark. Try chunking these baits for that trophy.
Offshore
The shark fish is better this year than the past few with quite a few makos and threshers making it to the scales. The run is short and the bite is good. The bluefin reports are beginning to show more consistency, with the same are south west of the Coimbra holding some fish as well as the Barcardi. The small yellowfin are falling for trolled lures but not much for the box.
News
We are currently working on setting up tanks to hold spots. We should have them in stock beginning next weekend if all goes according to plan.
