Jim Flora of Miller Place Bait and Tackle reports blackfish are being taken in 20 to 30 feet of water right out in front of Cedar Beach on clams and worms. Stripers are now being taken from most of the Sound beaches. Small stripers continue to be taken along the backside of Mt. Sinai Harbor during the start of outgoing tide with rubber swim shads being most productive. No reports of flounder.

Jim at Miller Place Bait and Tackle on the North Shore told me some smaller stripers kept the shore anglers busy in the back of Mt. Sinai Harbor on smaller popper from Yo-Zuri while the jetty in front of the harbor was hosting a decent pick of blackfish on clams, sandworms and green crabs.

The crew at Miller Place Bait and Tackle strives to help their fishing community. Store owner, Jim, began fishing the waters around Long Island at a young age. Growing up on the island he spent many days on the water and in the surf fishing for an array of species. He recalls with fondness long summer days fishing for fluke and the frigid cold of winter nipping at his face while targeting cod. His greatest love, however, is striper fishing and the thrill of the hit, battle and release of a big bass. Stop on by the shop and share some fishing stories. Jim always want to hear about “the one that got away”!
