2016 Long Island Fishing Reports Thread

[Monty]

Nice report. how does the Outlander handle rocks? thinking of purchasing a used one.Tks

Not sure how it is on the rocks, here is a video I found on youtube.
Had it on the beach again this AM. Very soft sand and deep ruts and it handled it fine again.
Fished ocean side and an inlet from 1:30 to 9:30 this morning and I am 0 for 2016 (0 for 3).
Skunk-a-rama for me. Great looking water, awesome weather.
Birds picking at some small stuff out about 50 yards in the inlet, otherwise not much happening.

Got into a hella lot of big blue fish this morning from 6 to 9 a.m. in JBay. they are huge and they are nasty. Got them on poppers, bucktails, small Ava jigs, and small poppers.
Some buds of mine also did well with stripers on bunker chunks in the night time.Get out there while the getting's good, Fellas!

SS 4 to 8:30a today. Nailed some decent blue fish, green and red tailed avas. Died when it reached high tide. Saw one small striper caught by a guy using clams. I'm not sure why, but it seems like there should be more strippers around for this time of year. My .O2

Fished 2 hours before sunset into the dark, and one hour after. gotta mess of bigger blues bucktail and pork. right before the sun went down switched to poppers and lost 2 of them on this new Power Pro I put on my reel this week. Will never use it again. Review in the other thread.

Last Sunday AM hit ocean up in jersey for 1 blue around 5 pounds.
Will make a couple trips to LI this week.

Fished a CSS inlet this morning with a friend from 1:00 to 9:00.
Awesome weather, lots of eel grass in the water until around 7:00 AM.
He picked up a ~30 inch bass around 3:00 AM on a Tsunami sand eel.
I picked up 9 blues 20-24 inch, mostly on Bucktails and Pork. They were deep. Missed a fews hits and dropped a few.
Fished hard and had a very fun time.
