Long Island Fishing Report – Wed, Aug 17th, 2011

A great day on our Full Day Charter today!!!!! Capt Chris put em on a few excellent drops of nice sized porgies. Also had some sea bass and blues. Full boat limit not a problem at all! The 9am trip was not so lucky as 40-50 porgies were landed, but not nearly what we had been seeing. Seemed like a lot of blues in the area had the porgies shut down a bit.

We're inbound n the 9AM trip, and fishing continues to improve. Plenty of big porgies were caught by anglers of all experience levels. Porgy fishing continues to improve in the Port Jeff area, as we saw on yesterdays trips as well. The 9AM trip had good fishing, and the evening trip, despite some heavy rain at times, saw an even better catch. Over one hundred thirty scup were caught by a light crowd. Even first-time fishermen caught plenty of fish.

Well its been typical mid summer fishing. Catch em one day gone the next! We have had a few good catches of nice big porgies, both right outside the harbor and on some of the deep water drops, but some tides they have shut off all together and it has been slow. Some blues are starting to settle in and that should increase over the next few weeks. Tons of bait has set up at the middle grounds so hopefully

Very good fishing today on the Celtic Quest full day capt choice Special.. several anglers had their limit of large porgies, with nearly a boat limit being caught. There were also many nice sea bass landed, along with bluefish action, for those who were interested. Upcoming trips should see good porgy action continue, with blues and sea bass adding to the action. Call for reservations, or information about scheduled trips.

Well its been a bit of a hard week. Catching lots of fluke, great action on many trips but the keeper ratio is way down from what it was. Some nice keepers here and there, but way off from what it was. Porgie fishing has been very hit and miss, as often happens this time of year for a week or two. Some Blues are starting to show up off Old Field so we will be trying to incorporate them
