Shinnecock Area Report 4/1/12

Good reports of bait in our bays have made it back to the shop. Some schoolie bass are showing up in back bays with very promising conditions for an early start to the season. The flounder season is underway with some sporadic reports of fish up by Quogue canal. The warmer air temps predicted this week should fair well for the flounder bite. Mackerel have been spotted outside the inlet but not in the great numbers that are around to the west. Herring continue to move in and out of the bay as well. Have had reports from the commercial guys that the fluke are closer than they usually are this time of year, also pointing towards an early season. We're now open 7days, weekdays 7-6, Sat 6-6 and Sun 6-3 and stocking all the in season baits. Be sure to drop off your gear for repairs and service.
