We’re on location at All Pro Bait and Market this week where signups are underway for the Duke of Fluke Tournament, Also keep in mind sea bass season is about to reopen with a 16.5-inch minimum size and split bag limits (3/angler, June 23 – Aug 31; 6/angler, Sept 1 – Dec 31). We’ll show you the rig that gets the job done on sea bass, plus take a deep dive into the latest catches from across the region – we’ve got local reports from Montauk to Staten Island and everywhere in between, including Long Island Sound cow bass, inshore fluke action from Shinnecock, Montauk and the Great South Bay, and offshore bruisers from the Nantucket Shoals.  We run through the week’s event calendar, including the Great Gun Shark Tournament, Bay Rats & Buoys Invitational, free NYSDEC fishing clinics and others. We also spotlight the latest from The Fisherman’s Dream Boat and Coastal Kayak Clash competitions.
