Liz at Mattituck Fishing Station in Mattituck reports fluking remains excellent although most are shorts with some nice keepers in the mix. The grounds right in front of the Motels are producing both fluke and porgies. Hi/low rigs tipped with squid and spearing catch the fluke while worms and clams catch the scup. Sea bass are out in 85 to 110 feet of water. Diamond jigs tipped with a 3 inch Swimming Mullet in chartreuse catch sea bass to over 5 pounds. Stripers are showing up along all of the beaches at night slamming poppers and bunker chunks.
