Jim at Miller Place Bait and Tackle on the North Shore told me a few schoolie bass are starting to get caught in the back of Mt. Sinai Harbor now on small poppers and soft plastics rigged on jigheads.

Craig of WeGo Bait and Tackle in Southold reports weakfish are showing up in the pound nets which means they should be mixing in with the porgies inside the Peconic Bay’s. There are reports of scup in all their usual spring haunts which bodes well for this coming Thursday. Striper fishing continues to be slow but should bust open anytime now. Squid have moved into the bay and anglers working squid jigs from the Greenport docks are doing very well under the lights during the dark hours. Please note that the shop is now operating in there spring/summer hours which are Monday through Saturday 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 5:30 to 4 p.m. on Sunday’s.

From WeGo Bait and Tackle up on the North Fork they told me creek action on the north side of the bay is beginning to see some life with small stripers. Swimming plugs on the smaller side as well as soft plastics have been the ticket. Soaking some sandworms or clams on the bottom could also get some fish to bite.

Steve from WeGo Bait and Tackle in Southold reports that the water remains cold and the best fishing is still a couple weeks away. In the meantime stop in the shop for all you bait and tackle needs.
