NY fishing reports for September 2010

NY fishing: NY fishing reports for September 2010
Important when registering on our site -- use an active email address so you can activate your account to be able to post.

Please post fishing reports here.......as little or as much detail as you want to give.

Please note: NO SPOT BURNING! Posts burning spots will be Edited or DELETED!
Some veteran fishermen have put in years developing and learning about certain spots.Some of these spots can only handle a few guys at a time. We are losing enough access as it is, due to the unfortunate behavior of a few selfish people. No sense in making it worse.

For some areas, it would be wiser to say:
OutFront (Ocean) OR -- OutBack (Bay) -- if you feel too many people will figure out what you are talking about. "Spot burning" also could involve mentioning something specific only to that area. If you do this, your post may be edited, or deleted. Remember that thousands of people could potentially read these posts. You don't want to be fishing next to ALL of them at the same time!


IF you are fishing an area that is NOT residential, being vague is less critical. For example, it's acceptable to say (Any)Park, or (Any)Bay, or mention a specific state park that has loads of parking and can handle the crowds.


If you are unclear on this concept, ask yourself:


If I name this place on the internet, will it be too crowded for me to enjoy tomorrow when people hear I got 30 fish here today?


If the answer is "Yes", then you should probably not be so specific.

Made a run to Montauk yesterday, fished the end of the day.:skunk: Got up at 4am this morning, hit some cocktail blues on tins. I heard of some big fish but didn't see any. Paulies has had some nice ones weighed in by guys fishing eels at night.

Fished a SS beach this morning. Conditions were beautiful, only one runt bass on a bucktail and grub. Should have made the drive E.

I worked the SS from 6-8:15 tonight, incoming, there are a lot of schoolie bass around, got 3 shorts on a storm shad, and a hickory shad on the teaser.

Mecca yesterday, there was a nice combo of bass and blues to 34" in the surf zone. Tins got the job done, I got 5 bass to 34" and a handful of blues. It was a great day.

I was at Moses early Sun, the surf was white water and it was a little rough. I caught some blues on tins, was trying for albies. They popped up but were too far out. 11 tailor blues to 5#.

Fished montauk yesterday, good afternoon bite. I got 6 stripers and too many blues, buck and pork. Awesome!

Last night I hit the north shore. After about an hour I caught a nice bass on metal. There were a couple of guys there saw another bass pulled out of the water before I left.

Got up in the early am to fish the night tides on the ss. Fished from 1:30-5 near an inlet, swimmers and bucktails. Started with bucktail, got some big blues to 13# before the tide started. Kept at it for awhile, it got slow. Then I made a move to where I could throw some swimmers in the surf, 2 bass to 25", nice night.

Sunrise clamming on the ss, got one bass 31", and one 26", on fresh clam.

Fished a Jones beach spot this morning, bombers and tin, :skunk:
A little weedy.

mr darkskies i did not thank u for the lure you sent me, thanks you very much! you guys are nice and no fighting, I like it.
i fished the breezy point today with my cousin, and we got 5 stripers on clam! we let the 4 go they were too small but we did keep one that was 29". thank you all.

Moses till 7:30 am, 3 short bass to 27", clams, big surf.

Got into some early action out East today, bass to 33", most were smaller, and some blues once the sun came out. Bucktail and PR.

Just got back from mecca, Some good bass this morning, bass in the mid teens on bucks. Then it was on and off for most of the day at different spots for medium bluefish on metal. Rough surf, be careful out there guys.

I fished the SS, Moses area, until 8am. The water looked perfect, there were a lot of birds out of reach, but nothing in close. Got one medium bluefish on a pt jude.

Fished Moses this morning, 2 bass to 33" on bunker. The first one was 27 1/2" and put back, kept the second.

we got 3 stripers at breezy today using clams, and a keeper 34 inchs.

A few small blues from 6-830am during the last of the tide on a tin squid with a white grub, NS.

Moses again till 8, 3 nice bass on bunker, biggest went 37". Fall is here fellas.

Fished a Montauk area beach till 2 hours after sunrise. Good action with bass and blues in the mix. Managed 4 bass to 35", and a handful of blues. Most of the bass came around sunrise, buck and pork.

SS, 6-8:15 today, few small bluefish, tins. It was a little weedy.

We went out on a friends boat out of Montauk yesterday. The weather beat us up a bit but the bass were there. We managed bass to 32#, each kept only one. It was so rough my friend's daughter got sick, and we came in early. Still the bass are hitting, eels and bunker. Get out there while you can.

I hit moses early, clams and bunker, weeds galore.:skunk:

Another solid day of fishing at mecca yesterday. The action didn't start till 1pm but lasted for 6 solid hours. I managed 43 fish on tins and bucktail. 1/4 of those were bass, biggest one was in the low teens. Bluefish were anywhere from 3-10lbs. What a day!:lookhappy:

Yeah, BB I got in on that too, PM me with your# next time you're up there. It was a bonanza, blues and bass up and down all afternoon. I didn't get as many as the Buddah Master, I got somewhere around 30, but it was greeeeeaaaaat!:dribble:
Metal and BT got the job done.

:clapping::clapping:Way to go guys, cool deal!
Might be time to move east!

Fished a few beaches on the ss last night. Weeds were building but I wanted to give it a try.:skunk:

Fished 3-5pm, lots of crappy water, threw bucktail and heavy tin, got blanked.

Got into a few bass and blues this morning at M. It was a little rough, but a friend hammered them yesterday. Fish in the wash.

:thumbsup: Nice going strpercrazy most of the guys I know said it was too risky to fish it.
