    LI fishing: NY fishing reports for April 2011

    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.

    We post these reports so our community will have a sense of what is working, what is not. We want to show people how to catch fish, rather than where.Even if you struck out or got skunked, it would be helpful to hear that as well.

    If you have any additional details you would like to share - weather conditions, tide (incoming, outgoing, ebb, flood) water temps, bait present, or other mention of techniques or plugs used - feel free.

    This month we're giving out plugs from Ace Baits, or something similar.

    Fished the Hudson today, bloodworms. My buddy and I got 7 bass to 28". The action was kind of sporadic, but we caught, and some guys near us caught as well.

    Have been fishing the Hudson for the past week from shore with bloodworms. A lot of little bass and a lot of skunking going on. Got into some better numbers this morning, got 5 striped bass to 30" on the worms. Incoming tide, it wasfoggy and a little drizzly. The bass didn't seem to mind. I will try herring next. It's on,fellas!
