This was a so-so week for Long Island fishing as some areas saw little action while others reported mildly good findings.

This will be another great weekend to hit the docks for herring.

The weather is looking a lot more reasonable for this weekend compared to what we have been seeing.

This is a great time to break down your equipment and service your reels.

North Shore Long Island Fishing Report John at Terminal Tackle in Kings Park reported a downhill trend on the tautog front with not even many shorts keeping rods bent as of late.

Nice mild temperatures will make an appearance for Thursday allowing anglers without kitchen duties to sneak out before the turkey is served.
