Long Island Fishing Report – Wednesday, July 7, 2010

We didnt have enough fares today to sail down east. Stayed local and both boats today had excellent action with a silly amount of fluke caught, decent amount of keepers in the mix. The pm trip also had similar good results as did yesterdays pm trip. Pool the past 2 days locally has been up to 9 lbs!!! So some very nice fish in the mix to go with all the 17-20 inch fluke.

Eastend Special: Full Boat Limit today for our charter of 36!. Great bite today, especially the back side of the tide when they really turned on. Over 800 fluke on the day, keeping a full boat limit.

Fluking was very very good on the morning half day trip! 25 keepers and hundreds of shorts were landed with the pool around 5 lbs. great trip. The East End Special was also very successful. Despite very windy conditions first thing in the morning and then lousy wind against tide for the rest of the trip, over 30 keepers were landed with hundreds of "shorts". Very good day all around. Looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow!

Long Island Fishing Report – Tuesday, June 22, 2010

The fluke action today was quite silly to say the least! The first and last of the ebb was lock and load on the bucktails. Hit the bottom, get a bite and reel up a fluke. Over 1000 fluke easy were landed!!, many many limits, too many to list. Pool was caught by 12 year Tyler and weighed just under 8 lbs!! Way to go Tyler. Mutiple hundreds of fish in the 18-20 should be keeper range. Trying to go

Long Island Fishing Report – Monday, June 21, 2010

With all the kids and families out for Fathers Day weekend we opted to mostly bottom fish. We had some really good porgy fishing on most of our half day trips with a few fluke mixed in. Everyone went home with a nice bag of fish for dinner. Saturday and Sunday evening trips were slow for some reason, but most others were very solid. Todays East End trip was very good again. Not the ludicrous numbers that we saw on

We knew it was going to be good when on the first drift the fluke we

It was too windy this morning to head down east so we stayed local. And all is well that ends well!! Caught a ton of fluke all day long as 17 anglers had well over 300-350 fluke on the day. But the keepers were very hard to come by as we only had 10 or 12 by early afternoon……. That is until we decided to try one last area where we had marked a nice big pile of bait on
