    Spring time fishing is a great time to fish the Fire Island / Great South Bay area for striped bass, weakfish, and blues. Fish are taken easily on the flats with either the fly rod or light tackle gear. 

    Mid summer brings the action further east to the Moriches and Shinnecock area. The flats are close to the cooler waters of the inlets and hold striped bass into late July or even early August. Fluke, bluefish, and sea bass are always present to supply family trips constant action. Shinnecock is also known for its bonito and albacore fishing in July/August.

     Fall time is the right time for the journey to Montauk. This is the time of year to attempt your grand slam on the fly with bonito, albacore, striped bass, and bluefish. This is the largest game migration on the planet and the fish feed differently here than any place else on earth. It's a common sight to see acres and acres of fish feeding all at once. If the drive is not convenient, all south shore inlets will produce fish on their passage to warmer waters. The north shore has great blitz action in Port Jefferson and Mt. Sinai. Come out for a mid-week eve special and cash in on schooling bluefish.
