Blackfishing has been great most days. Lots of nice fish coming over the rails. Today was a little slower than its been as it took several drops to put together a good catch. Nonetheless we finished the day with 70-80 keepers which included two very large blackfish both pushing 11 lbs. Once again 'One More Drift' out fished all the men and was high hook with 8 keepers. Hopefully we should have a few more good weeks ahead.

Long Island Fishing Report – October 6, 2005

The great fall fishing continues! Most days have seen a fantastic catch of mainly extra large Porgies to 3 lbs, a mix of sea bass and a few keeper blackfish. There has also been a lot of bluefish caught on clams while bottom fishing and occasionally even a keeper bass. Also, we have had some awesome drops on a few wrecks that were stacked with fish. The wreck fishing should continue to build as the water cools.

Fun fall fishing right now!
