Jim at Miller Place Bait & Tackle on the North Shore told me they are seeing a pick of striped bass from Cedar Beach during the morning hours on tins and poppers. Porgy fishing has been off to a slower start than usual, but fish are beginning to filter into the beaches and dock areas around Mount Sinai where they are taking clam and sandworm baits. Jim also mentioned a few scattered weakfish have been reported from the beaches as well.

Jim Flora of Miller Place Bait and Tackle reports that a lot of bass have moved into the area with Cedar Beach and buoy 11 being the hot spots. Fluke and porgy fishing has been slow to start. In fact, the porgy contest for ages under 18 has been extended until June 30th since the shop has not weighed any porgies as of yet and you must be signed up for the contest before you can weigh a fish in. As a reminder, there is no entry fee for this contest.

Jim at Miller Place Bait and Tackle reported another week of consistent striper action in the back of Mt. Sinai Harbor. Small poppers and swim shads have been particularly effective, especially during calmer conditions and lighter winds.

Jim Flora of Miller Place Bait and Tackle reports excellent fishing right from Cedar Beach for both striped bass and porgies. Remember that the kids Porgy Derby runs through the month of May for kids between the ages of 4 and 18 years old. Kids must have been signed up in the shop before May 1st to be eligible for this tournament.
