Fishing East Coast Bait and Tackle

Mike at Fishing East Coast Bait and Tackle in Little Neck reports striped bass fishing is still good at night inside Manhasset Bay on live eels. Porgy fishing has picked up nicely on the grounds as well as to the east inside Oyster Bay on worms, clams and porgy jigs. Fluke fishing is action packed with mainly shorts and an occasional keeper in the mix. Spearing and squid combos are indeed working well along with Berkley Gulp. Bluefishing remains a mystery with a few blues taken some days while the other days draw a big blank. Snappers are at all the marinas and docks.
