    ^Monty...I have to give you credit for going out and trying places you have never been to before....
    Nice job, at least you tried an unknown area.....

    Without running to a place where there was a facebook fishing report from..
    Without chasing reports...
    Without even having the slightest clue as to the water and structure you'll be facing other than a quick scan on Google Earth....

    Yes I will still bust your balls about abandoning NJ...
    But have to give you respect for your Nomad Spirit....
    I am ready to turn over my Nomad title to you...

    The first time you do an overnight in your vehicle...and eat yesterday's sammich for breakfast.....I will abdicate my title and hand it over.....
    You don't even have to nap in a porto john to qualify.


    What do ya say, Pal?
    Are you up for it?

    so what's better for early July fishing? Jones Beach or Robert Moses SP?

    ones, like, 20 minutes from where I sit, and the other 30 (as the crow flies... or at 4AM, any other time of day probably 2 hrs each way)

    Summer doldrums warm water I'd work the inlets on the first two hours of incoming.The earlier the better before the crowds hit the beach and scare everything out of there.SP is a zoo in July,Moses you may get lucky depends on the access.Don't fish Jones so can't help you out there.State access for Gilgo is a better shot.

    Thanks, I'll have to decipher what you said havin NO familiarity with this area.

    One surprise is to read the words "summer doldrums" about early July fishing.

    Fished the SS yesterday 6-8:30pm. Picked up 2 runts on clams. There was a few other caught up and down the beach. Mostly about 1 hour before sunset. Slow pick but they are there. Tight lines fellas.

    Fished Long Island Sound 1:00 - 9:00 this morning.
    Ka-Skunked big time.
    Saw no bait, water felt very cold.
    Had weeds on the ebb and water was murky on the flood.
    Great night out, excellent casting practice, lots of exercise walking.
    O for 2 trips for 2015 so far. I should be in decent shape physically if I ever catch a fish again.
    May head out front next trip, miss the white water......my bath tub has more wave action than the sound.
    Decent sunrise.

    The sound is different than other places to the south. You have the western shores which are very congested and urban. Little Neck Bay for example. great early season spot. Also can get very crowded and filled wth trash. The further east you go the less riff raff you will find. It is very peaceful fishing but all about the small bait. When the spearing and rainfish move through the fish move through with them. Also the cinder worm hatches can be exciting and frustrating unless you are a fly fisherman. Try not to think too much about white water. Think moving water current and structure. All those will help you. Enjoyed the report. I started fishing the sshore last week and have pulled in a few schoolies on buck and pork so far. I will not drive north to the sound till mid may. Maybe try one of the inlets next time. good luck

    Another week or so the blues should be popping up in the back bays.

    Never leave fish (NJ) to find fish

    Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again

    Ouch! Them's fighting words! In before the thread gets locked! I'll sell the popcorn.

    So true - just one question monty. I mean those sunrise pics are beautiful and all that but where are the fish on long island? We have gigaNDA BLUES here in NJ right now. Dude you really should check them out they are a lot of fun. My arms are still sore from last night. Getting ready to go out there again tonight. My .02 only

    RM is generally a bait spot in July 4wd permit needed.SP I'm referring to Smiths Point further east of RM Just a hangout in the Summer out front due to their day tripping permits it is an early a.m. spot and then get out of there or hit the inlet,I'll take that beach over Montauk any day in the fall Suffolk County green key and 4wd permit required.All access is dependent upon our little bird friends nesting

    Fished ocean side this AM from 1:15-9:00.
    Absolutely crazy fog, got lost for a bit out there ....maybe longer than a bit...sand moved around big time from last year, missed the area I was looking for (walked right by it) which led to a weird hour plus of "where the f*** am I.
    Only managed one short bass on a loaded red fin around 1:30.
    Did not see any bait.
    Was great being out there, especially good when the sun came up and could actually get an idea of what was out there and what the structure looks like this year.

    Good advice. Spot on I agree.
