Cow Harbor Bait and Tackle

Mark of Cow Harbor Bait and Tackle in Northport reports striped bass fishing has been good during the early morning hours at the Triangle. Try trolling Mojo’s first and if nothing happens, switch over to clutter jigs. There’s still plenty of fluke around but few keepers but if you’re looking for red hot action, grab your bucktails and Gulp and catch as many as you want. Hopefully, you’ll get lucky and catch a keeper or two. Porgy fishing has been weird and the action can change from one moment to another, meaning the fish can be under the boat for an hour or two minutes regardless if you chum or not and of course there are other days where fishing has been very good. Huntington Bay is loaded with small porgies, mainly all undersize. Snappers are tiny but they are at the docks.

Phil from Cow Harbor Bait and Tackle reported stripers from 10 to 15 pounds have been caught inside the harbor after dark on SP Minnows and Yo-Zuri Mag Darters. Some short fluke are being caught from the Sound beaches. Phil recommended Crab Meadow on the outgoing tide. Porgies are also all over the place along their part of the Sound, hitting sandworms and clams.

Phil of Cow Harbor Bait and Tackle in Northport reports bass fishing remains good at the Triangle for anglers fishing deep with diamond jigs or trolling bunker spoons. Plenty of fluke around but most are shorts with a few big fish coming out of the deeper water, especially by the Obstruction Buoy. Porgy fishing has been good by buoy 11b and the Brush Pile on clams and worms. Some porgies are being taken from the local docks and beaches.
