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. 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!

[crosseyedbass]

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.

[nitestrikes]

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.
