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.

Carmine over at Campsite Sport Shop in Huntington told me striper action has been increasing quite a bit recently. Some more fish have been moving in west of him in Little Neck and Manhasset but he did mention that some holdover schoolies have been showing themselves locally in Cold Spring and Huntington Harbor. Small soft plastics in the 4-inch range, rigged on jigheads have been working well but so have smaller swimming plugs fished after dark and during daylight hours. SP Minnows, Mag Darters and small bucktails have all been excellent choices.
