2014 LI Fishing Reports

[Monty]

Dark I didn't see one so figured would start it off for the year.

[Monty]

Fished ocean side from 5:30 to 10:00 this morning.
Didn't catch anything but it was great getting out there.
Threw some new plugs to see how they swam and checked out some new water (to me).
Great time, thrilled the season has finally started (need some warmer water now).

Hopefully just a couple trips in Jersey this year, will see how things go (when need to load up on the dead stuff).
Going to keep the secret spots to find dead stuff to myself.

Dark has got to be behind this. Hopefully he won't take up sleeping in Porto johns on the side of the road like DS

Finally into some fish. Fished a bay area last night, GSB. Blues have arrived. Picked off quite a few with small tins and 4" poppers. To 7lbs and a few small bass.

Not my doing....you know Monty just got so dissatisfied with the loss of access in NJ he decided to broaden his horizons....

I promise no falling asleep in porto john for me.....
New York beaches are actually closer to where I live, the big bummer is the ridiculous tolls. 25 clams per trip

A few visits hopefully.
Will start throwing your teasers soon when the water starts warming and the fish start eating.

Nice- thanks for the report. Don't know exactly where you were but if you are ever close to jbay the flats in the back will give up some fish before the ocean does. Every year I catch em before 4-15 (catch and release before the season opens). Small bucktails or teasers can get it done.

Fished this morning 4:30-9:30.
Ocean side for most of it, bay side for an hour. Skunkaroo Threw lots of rubber and some plastic. Water was murky. Great morning to be out, checking out areas for the first time, lots of walking today. Looking forward to warmer water.

A pic of the sunrise...The ones in Jersey are nicer with the water in them....
