2017 Long Island Fishing Reports Thread

[nitestrikes]

A good week of solid bluefish tackle busting action. Went out last night. Someone mentioned the water had gotten colder. My reading was 57 degrees and I only managed 2. Have been getting them to the 15# class but that was a few days ago when the water was 52. Inlets and back bays, mostly bucktails and diamond jigs.

Same for me great week of alligator fishing. These things are brutes. Switched over to bucktails to save on lost tackle. Picked up a few short stripers as well.

I'm out to dinner now with Mom, might try later on this evening. I hope the heavy rain didn't chase those big brutes away. Tons o fun.

Ocean was rough, picked up 9 most on metal this AM in the inlet.
Had to work for them, they wouldn't hit a popper. Fun trip.

Fished a ss inlet yesterday eve on the incoming tide. Pretty solid action with the big blues on bucktails. Did manage one short striper 27-inch as well, released.

Took a half a day off from work today to chase after whatever would hit my line. Started at high tide in the bay GSB area. Slammer Blues attacking pencil poppers. Came in for some refreshements and change some leaders. Going back out. Beautiful day for gator blues fellas.
