The strong weakfish bite continues, big fluke become more abundant in the bays and striped bass fishing is most productive early and late in the day before blues crash the party.
Porgies swarm the north shore beaches and jetties, fluke fishing is hot in the south shore bays, and big bluefish beat stripers to baits on both sides of the island.
Big bluefish still dominate the bays and are showing up in the surf, bottom fishing is productive for scup and kingfish, and larger fluke show up off the east end.
Bluefish follow bunker schools into the Western Sound, North Shore fluke fishing improves, and striped bass fishing remains reliable in the back bays on both shores.
Stripers and blues hit topwater plugs in the surf, the strong weakfish run continues and fluke fishing improved despite some unfavorable conditions.
Weakfish are abundant on the North and South shores, bluefish are biting well in the surf and around the jetties, and a new wave of large stripers join the party.
More and bigger bluefish show up in the bays and inlets, the North Shore comes to life with bass and blues, and there is great bottom fishing in the Peconics.
Big weakfish hit the backwaters, bluefish linger around the inlets and bays while stripers bite on the beaches, and porgy fishing picks up in the Western Sound.
