In Montauk, guide Chris Albronda reported it was another week of focusing on smaller ponds in search of largemouth bass. The bites were far and few in between, but there were largemouth bass and white perch to be caught in these smaller lakes and ponds. The Fort Pond walleye bite has been very productive. They are biting during one specific time in the night. Any day now the smallmouth will start bedding and biting their heads off.

Wind and rain once again caused havoc for anglers. The bay tides were also extremely high, making for shorebound action in Moriches a bit tough too. We do have some good weather coming in this week, so hopefully reports will continue to pick up. Bass season is now open, and there were reports of some blackfish in Great South Bay and the local inshore and deeper water wrecks outside Fire Island. School bass are roaming throughout the bay, with the north side seeing a lot of fish at the bridges and canals. There was no word this week on flounder, but Ill bet a bit of chum in Dickersons Channel or the Quogue Canal to the east could produce a tasty fillet.

In from the Montauk area I heard from my buddy and guide Chris Albronda. Chris reported on the sunnier days, the smaller ponds had a lot of activity. The largemouth and panfish in the smaller ponds have been biting on trout magnet/bobber combos. In Fort Pond the spring bite is behind schedule. The walleye bite at night has been very good, although they seem to be on a schedule, only biting for a few hours in the dark. This time of the year produces some very large sized walleye, if youre looking to get into a trophy sized walleye, give Chris a shout at 631-830-388.

Weather and more weather kept angling activity a little quiet again this week. This coming weeks weather report is calling for more rain, but hopefully there will be enough opportunity windows to get out. Blackfish action is getting started in the bay and ocean, while stripers are in the creeks and I did hear of a few on the open beaches. And, believe it or not, one angler had a flounder in Dickersons Channel! Bass season opens the 15th, with fluke following shortly afterwards on May 4.
