REMINDER: Blackfish season closes Dec 9th on the north shore and Dec 22nd on the south shore and peconic bays.  Sea bass season ends on Dec 31st.

A nice spark of action lit up the south shore beaches this whole week. Countless schoolie Striped Bass could be found on all the beaches from east to west. Daytime as well as night time had similar result. Bucktails, swimshads and small poppers were perfect for the day time; while SP Minnows  or Super Strike plugs could be used for good success at night. Try to focus on the beaches around Shinnecock and Moriches inlet or the local docks for some "schoolie" action. Some bigger fish (up to 40”) are mixed in with the schoolies too, so be ready for the possibility to hook into one of them. Striped Bass closes on Dec 15th, however "catch and release" is allowed all year!!

Blackfish and Sea bass ...They are still are being caught and in good numbers around the island. Fishing green crabs seems to being doing the trick. On the north shore guys are seeing picks of  nice "toggs" in the range of 5 to 7 pounds. On the south shore people fishing the wrecks and Artificial Reefs and around the rock piles are seeing a steady pick of fish. Still fishing the same style with Green Crabs they to are catching some hefty blackfish. 

West Lake  was stocked for the final time this year with more brown trout. Not many anglers have been focused on this but if you are looking for something else to target give this a go. They will have no problem going after small spinners, kastmasters or even just plain nightcrawlers fished under a float.

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.
