Long Island Fishing Report – June 10,2005

Excellent fluke bite today!!! Ten fares on our charter today would have easily limited out but some of them had to get home. Man that was tough leaving such a great bite! Fluke were biting their heads off when we left. I wanted to stay out all afternoon! Nonetheless, everyone went home very happy as we kept close to our limit on the day and released five times the amount of shorts. Pool fish was 5 lbs and straight spearing

Long Island Fishing Report – June 5,2005

We had a nice trip yesterday with the gang from Noreast.com. It was the annual 'Battle of the Sexes'. Im not sure who won, so to be politically correct I'll say it was a tie. Special thanks goes out to the one and only Lucky Lindy who told us about his 'top secret' fluke spot. Thanks Lindy. The first of the ebb saw a good catch of fluke as we finished the day with over 40 keepers. Danny Kuftak had

Long Island Fishing Report – May 30,2005

Once the weather finally cleared up, the fluking really improved over last week. We have sailed the last several days and though it hasnt been super yet, we are seeing a decent pick on most trips with fluke to 4lbs. When the conditions are right, the bite has been good, with the beginning of the tide and the last of the tide being the best. The bite turns on and off, but when you hit it right there are some

Long Island Fishing Report – Saturday, May 21, 2005

Hello there everyone. Today was scheduled to be our first fluke trip of the season but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the weather. The blackfishing slowed down a lot this week so we decided to make the switch over to fluke. There have been some nice fish in our area, as some of the local commercial fisherman have caught fluke to 12lbs the past few days right off Port Jefferson! Hopefully we can capture a few of these North

Long Island Fishing Report – Sunday, May 8, 2005

This week blackfishing ranged from excellent to just a pick. Fish were a little hard to figure out as to why they bite so well some days but not on others. And so it goes…. Nonetheless, even the slow days saw 20 plus fish with plenty of nice size fish in the mix. Monday was the best day of the week with over 200 fish for 8 fares, over 50 of which were keepers. Great all around day. Wednesday was

Long Island Fishing Report – Monday, May 9,2005

With the windy forecast and the hard moon tide, we though it was going to be a hard day….. Turned out to be beautiful though and despite the tide we had a very decent day of blackfishing. Ended the day with close to 50 keepers to 6 lbs. Onaldo Pedro on his first ever blackfish trip had 8 keepers. Not too shabby Onaldo! Phil Bloom had 7 keepers. Nice pick all day.

Well…….today was that long awaited day….. The one we have been waiting for when the blackfish finally decided to bite their heads off!!

Rob Lupinacci led the way catching his limit of 10. Fish were hungry today. You knew it when you had a bite. The blackfish

Long Island Fishing Report – May 1, 2005

Well…. we sailed 4 trips this week despite the lousy weather. It wasn't the most exciting week of blackfishing but I think better days are ahead. Every trip saw a dozen to 20 keepers with some nice fish starting to show up. The pieces are staring to come to life a bit more as the water warms. Everything seems about week behind what it was last year so we are hoping that this week the bite will improve. Maybe tomorrow
