2016 Long Island Fishing Reports Thread

[Monty]

Headed out east, fished north side this morning from 2:15 to 9:00.
Picked up a short bass on a needle around 2:30 and that was it for bass.
Ended up with 16 blues between 20 and 30 inches, they are all over.
Lost a bunch, missed a bunch.
Tried getting below them, most caught on bucktails and darters.
Fun time, nice weather.

Trip out East, Southside this morning.
2:30-8:30, a mile plus of rock shore,weeds in close and water stained a bit.
Saw no bait or signs of life. Saved from the skunk, one nice blue on a Super Strike Popper.
Solitude, nice night, great to be out there.

way to go gents. Hearing that the bigger blues have moved to Long Island so I hope you can get some.

Fished way out East Sunday AM, 2:00-8:30.
Major skunk, first one in 8 trips, amazed at lack of action.
Water was full of weeds in close in most areas, saw no one and no bait.
Heck of a workout, looking forward to next trip.
