Long Island, Metro Video Fishing Forecast March 14, 2024
Another Big Event Weekend & Striper Movement in the west
With another week of over-average temperatures, participation was up again, and stripers were on the move, both on the north and south sides of the island. There is nothing big to report, but some fun action on schoolies with smaller soft plastics. Trout stockings are bound to happen very soon as the DEC releases their stocking number lists for the spring season. A couple of cod trips are also on the horizon. Keep in mind the Long Island Boat Show will be taking place this weekend, along with the annual Long Island Fly Fishing Expo and the Saltwater Expo in nearby Edison, New Jersey. For more information on all of the events, visit thefisherman.com/events.
The schoolie bite seems to be picking up even more steam in the west. More reports of them came in during the week. The majority of the fishing seems to be in the Little Neck and Jamaica Bay areas and the main lures of choice are soft plastic baits rigged on jigheads right now. Freshwater lakes are getting very active with the warmer temperatures and were expecting a supplemental stocking of trout to take place throughout the island just about any day now to boost the fishing event more. For events, keep in mind the Fisherman Flea Market will be taking place this Sunday at the American Legion from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

From the Viking Fleet in Montauk Capt JR reported a less than exciting trip on the Viking Star. The wrecks were definitely not as lively or fruitful as we had on their last trip. Just a pick of cod and a few pollock on each. The first place pool winner was Robert Devoe from Boston, MA with a 10-pound cod. The edible pool winner was Walter Lesniewski from Lindenhurst, NY with a 9-pound pollock.
