Blaise from Duffys Bait and Tackle in Glenwood Landing reports that bass is still being caught inside Hempstead Harbor with worms and bunker chunks working best on the incoming tide while poppers and deep diving plugs have been effective during the outgoing tide. No reports of blackfish or flounder although Blaise has heard of a few porgies being taken by striper fishermen fishing natural baits.

Up on the western North Shore, Blaise from Duffys Bait & Tackle in Glenwood Landing reported that the stripers inside Hempstead Harbor cooperated again last week. Bombers, SP Minnows and Yo-Zuri plugs were the top choices for surf fishermen while bunker and sandworms were the choices for the bait guys. He knew of a slightly better tog bite developing near the jetty by the shop. Sandworms and green crabs both netted some fish.

Blaise from Duffys Bait and Tackle in Glenwood Landing reports there are still plenty of mixed size stripers hitting bloodworms or SP Minnow plugs inside Hempstead Harbor. Chicken scratch color of the plugs seem to be producing the best results. Blackfish action must be strong as the shop sold out on their green crabs on Sunday morning. The shop is open every day.

Up on the western North Shore, Blaise from Duffys Bait & Tackle in Glenwood Landing reported a lot of stripers up to 31 inches at Tappen Beach. Bloodworms and fresh bunker are both catching their fair share. Outgoing tide seems to be the best, said Blaise. Plugs are grabbing a fair share of bass, too. Mag Darters and SP Minnows have been the consistent producers. The first report of shorebound caught tog came into the shop from his local area. The fish was taken on a sandworm.
