I received a report from a friend that fished the past weekend. To the east of the inlet not much happened however there was a good bunch of fish feeding on a school of herring in 50 feet of water just west of the inlet on Saturday. A few keepers were caught out of this school. On Sunday the fish had moved to Jones inlet and the trollers were killing the fish near the JI buoy and by Debs inlet.
It looks like the schools are moving rapidly to the west and most fish are small. This has always been the pattern for December fishing.

I did not fish for the past week but have been duck hunting. For all of you that are still fishing I thought I would let you know that striped bass were caught today on live bait. Nothing really big but fish from 15 to 20 lb. on live bait in the inlet area. Also lots of small fish are in the area. This looks like a good weekend to fish with light winds and overcast skies.
I am finished fishing for the season but will post any news that I get regarding the fishing scene for the rest of the year or until the ice covers the waters.
Good fishing,

I tried fishing again today and trolled from the inlet East to Point O Woods with the same results as thanksgiving NOT A TOUCH!. I did however know of fish being taken with clam bellies on the ebb tide to those that anchored up near the inlet but as usual know big fish.

Thanksgiving has been a tradition for me to fish. On Thursday I drifted eels in all the usual spots with out a touch, then I trolled from the inlet to Kismet on the outside with out a touch. Then I went home and stuffed myself with Turkey.

Fished the back bay for bass. Plugged a bunch up to 15 lb. on Yozuri swimming plugs. Had four on the fly. I used a green and white bunker fly. The water was real brown and the bright fly got their attention. Black and white wasn't working. It was fun on the light tackle, the fish fought real hard.

Fished with John Locurto and had some pretty good action with the bass on live bait. Dropped a couple and caught two to 18 lb.. Wind blew and made it tough plus we couldn't get out to the ocean where the bunker schools roam. So much for a hard day of fishing. We gave it our best shot.

Fished with Nick Santos and his dad Rich. Nick caught a 15 lb. bass on live bait. You can tell he is real proud of his catch.

Fished for bass with Mike Suhay and his dad Mike Sr.. We had a good day fishing with live bait. We landed two nice fish, one 15lb. and another 25 lb.. The weather was beautiful and the boat traffic was horrible as usual. When someone caught a fish, everyone jumped on top of them instead of looking for something on their own. It made fishing tough but we had a good time anyway.

Fished with John Dall for bass. We had a good day with lots of action but no really big fish. We boated 6 fish that were all between 14 and 18 lb. We fished live bait from the Inlet to the Lighthouse. There was lots of action with many run-offs and dropped fish. It all made for a fun day of fishing. We dropped one fish that I think was pretty big. The low note for the day was watching all the so called "sport" bass fishermen using illegal short blackfish for bait. Regardless of that pathetic scene, John and I had a good time.

Fished with Joe Siracusa, his nephew Charlie and Charlie Jr. of Ocean Beach. We had a fine catch of five big weakfish. We caught the fish near the inlet on live bait. We then tried fluke in the ocean but it wasn't happening. The water was dirty and the fishing was slow. Everyone had a good time with the weakfish.

Fished with David, his kids Zack, Josh and buddies Bill and Chris of Fair Harbor. We caught one nice weakfish about 8 lb. on live bait. We dropped a few others. Lots of boat traffic made the fishing tough. All had a good time.

Fished with Ann Zabar, Mike, Glen and Ray of Seaview. We had a good day catching two weakfish 7 to 8 lb. on live bait. We dropped a few others and had pretty good action. Ray dropped a very big fish at the boat. That was a tough one to loose. It went every bit of ten pounds. Everyone had fun. Lots of edible and drinkable goodies on board. Mike was high hook for the day, you can tell by the body language in the picture.

Fished with Derek Huntington of Salt Air. We caught and released two big weakfish and dropped some others. It was a good day. First fishable day after the big winds from the storm.

Fished with Brad Brown of Salt Air. We had a great day! Brad rated it about an 8. We caught Skipjack tuna to 7 lb. on spin tackle in the morning. They were awesome. Stripped a hundred yards of line from the reel before you knew what was happening. We the headed offshore looking for bluefish. Didn't catch a one but hooked up with a small Mako shark on bluefish tackle. Brad did a good job of fighting it and we boated the fish. Good barbecuing tonight! We then hit the inshore grounds along the beach and scored with small Green Bonito. We had a very god day!

Fished with Sharon and Chris Davis of Point O'Woods and their kids Ian and Willy and friend John. We caught a couple of keeper fluke and a seabass on the offshore reef. The wind was totally calm and we had almost no drift. I guess that's a good excuse. Fishing was not very good but we got a couple and a good bunch of skates for action. There was a heave on and people started feeling woosy. Came inside and lost some rigs and caught a couple of shorts. Everyone had fun. The kids wanted me to photograph them with their fluke catch even after the fish were filleted. Check out the racks on there babies!

Fished with Rich Forrest, his sons and their friend of Seaview. We had the weather against us with a hard blowing east wind and lots of "slip-gut" weed. We made the best of it but only caught short fluke and some searobins.

8/17/99
Fished with Steve and Elissa Cron and their kids Max and Lilly of Seaview. We went bottom fishing using clam chum and clam pieces for bait. We caught lots of small seabass with two keepers. We also had about a dozen porgies with a few nice sized specimens. We fished about 10 spots from the inlet to Ocean Beach. The slip-gut weed is a real problem in some areas but not too bad in others. As you can tell from the smiles, they had a lot of fun.

I didn't fish today but took two bunches of kids and counselors from the Ocean Beach Youth Group on an Ecology outing to Sexton Island. They did water sampling tests, seine netted for specimens and explored the salt marshes of the island. They were all very interested and well behaved. It was a well organized activity. The counselors were super and we all had a great day.

Fished aboard Rich Santos' 32 Blackfin out of Babylon. Crew consisted of Rich Sr., Rich Jr., Nicky (junior world record holder for weakfish), Captain Al and Tim C. Smith. We didn't catch any tuna but had a lot of fun filming and photographing schools (pods) of Dolphin (mammal). These incredible animals were swimming along with the boat for a half hour. They would get just below the bow of the boat and stay there, every once in a while jumping clear out of the water. They would turn sideways to look at us. We could almost touch them. I think they wanted to be touched. The water was incredibly blue and clear but without tuna. Lots of schools of bonito. Weather was beautiful. It was a great day even without catching the fish.

Fished with Lou Levinson and his sons Matt and Scott. We had an excellent catch of 12 keeper fluke in the ocean. Best fishing was near the offshore reef south of the Lighthouse. Flukebelly/spearing combos worked best. The fish were big with the average about 3 lb. and the biggest about 5 lb.. The ocean was flat. It was a very good day.

8/4/99
Fished with Tom Robinson, his dad Hal, wife Audrey and daughter Anna. We had a good day of fluke fishing in the ocean to the west of the inlet in 50 feet of water. Caught 11 keepers with several fish in the 3 to 4 lb. range. We also caught a weakfish of about 5 lb. jigging artificials in the inlet.

8/3/99
Fished with Brad Brown of Salt Air. We fished the ocean east of the inlet in about 50 feet of water for fluke. It was a good catch of seven keepers with the big one at 5 lb.. Live killies and strips of butterfish seemed to be the best bait. Tried for weaks in the inlet but had no luck. Water looked pretty clean today on the flood tide.

7/31/99
Fished with Mike Toonkle, Jessica, Maceo and Bob from Seaview. Had a slow day catching only one bluefish and one weakfish on artificial. Conditions were tough with lots of boat traffic in the inlet in the afternoon.
