Today I fished with George and we had a good day of fishing. I would say the bass run in Fire Island is happening. We had nice fish up to 28 pounds on live bait.

No monsters but good fish in clean water and on the feed. The bluefish are out of control. All you shark guys should get out in the bay or inlet and load up for shark bait.

The Coast Guard and the DEC were out there in force doing their job. They boarded my boat and did a safety inspection. They were very courteous and checked all my safety gear which was all in good order. I wouldn't want to mess with the guy on my right, he was very big but a good guy as they all were. 

We also saw the DEC officers checking guys fishing on the jetties by the OBI which is also good as I see them keeping small fish all the time.

We rounded out the day with some blowfish, fluke and all the bluefish we could handle.

It was a fun day on the water with George and now tomorrow we go back to rebuilding boats. Lots of tank jobs to do.

Today I did some scouting around the back bay areas with a pal of mine, Billy Gambrill. We were pleasantly surprised with big hard fighting bluefish in the 8 to 12 pound class. It was a blast with the fish beating on Danny plugs and wax wing jigs. The water is gin clear which always makes me feel good about fishing. It was a beautiful sight to see the lit up fish in the clean water beating on the plugs and jigs. We were pulling them from 15 feet deep because the visibility was so good. There were fish on the Bayshore flats south of Bayberry Point and as far west as Babylon and in the north/south channels. No bass today but they will be here shortly. I anticipate a great spring run and excellent fishing in the  back country where it is most fun.
I'm getting a lot of bookings for June and early July which is the peak of the spring run so if you want a prime date now is the time to give me a call or email me to set a date to fish.

Another great day on the water.

Went scouting today for flounder. I was pleasantly surprised with some nice fish. I caught 6 fish and kept my limit of two both about two pounds.Caught them on incoming and start of outgoing on sand worms with clam chum. Not a great bite but enough to make it interesting and enough for a good meal. Had to move around a bunch but caught around the WD buoy and and East Channel. Will be out there again tomorrow.
