Think Spring.........The J&J UV long sleeve performance shirt. Great for when you're out on the boat or beach in hot humid conditions.
Providing protection from the harmful rays, allowing you to stay cool and dry and keep fishing.

Surf fishing along the south shore beaches remains good with striped bass fishing being very productive. On the beach the stripers are still very active. They are mostly in the 18-28" class but still make for good fun. It is mostly day time action with tins like Charlie Graves Lures and Diamond jigs are producing many fish.

Also in the ocean, the boats are still doing good with jigging for stripers. These fish are on sand eels and bunker so diamond jigs with tubes are best for replicating sand eels. It has been all day action, with things usually starting up at first light and lasting until sundown. There has been topwater action too, if you see birds working you can cast swimshads, bucktails and popping plugs in to the frenzy.

Weather permitting some great opportunities are still available for anglers. Sea Bass, Ling and Cod fishing has been productive off the south shore Artificial Reefs and the Montauk region. Jigs and rigs baited with clam or gulp teasers are both getting results. On the north shore (till Dec 9th) and Long Islands east end, anglers are still pursuing blackfish. Right now they are in about 60 feet of water crunching on green crabs. Use blackfish rig or a blackfish jig. Many anglers have grown quite fond of Blackfish Jigs. Super strong hook with great hookup ratio. Either technique should be productive. A chill is in the air....

For the local lakes, they are producing good catches. Trout were just stocked in West Lake and will hit nightcrawlers "fished from floats." They will also hit lures like kastmasters and bluefox spinners. A light rod with 4lb test line is all you really need to catch these stocked trout. Other fish like bass, perch and pickerel will hit live shiners as well as artificial lures like weedless worms and swim baits. This time of year is better to retrieve your lures slower, due to the colder water and lethargic fish.

Connetquot River State Park Still has been offering some great fly fishing. This is something to look into over the winter if cabin fever starts to take over. We have all the fly fishing needs to get you right into the action. Also as a reminder West lake has been stocked twice this Fall with many brown trout. Not many people have been going down to try for them so they are still very active and will respond to lures and bait used in the lake.

The BogaGrip is designed to promote "catch and release fishing," as it will land, handle, and weigh fish quickly and simultaneously without injury to the fish. The BogaGrip also affords an easy opportunity to inspect and take pictures of the fish. Since it doesn't wipe off the protective slime nor puncture the fish, and allows the fish to be quickly returned to the water, fish that are handled and released using the BogaGrip should be more likely to survive. The BogaGrip is particularly good for handling fish in cold weather, or hard-to-handle fish such as toothy fish, slimy fish, or fish that are likely to fin or cut a fisherman. It also keeps a fisherman's hand at a safer distance from hooks.
