WeGo Bait and Tackle

The crew from WeGo Bait and Tackle on the North Fork reported that blackfishing has remained good along the Sound side of the fork. Anglers working the rocky shoreline with green crabs are finding plenty of action, although a large portion of the catch consists of short fish. There are still some keeper-sized tog mixed in, making it worthwhile for anglers willing to sort through the smaller fish. Striped bass have also been showing up around the rocky points during the evening hours, giving anglers a chance to connect with fish as daylight fades. Bluefish have been more difficult to come by, with only a scattered pick reported recently. In addition to the blackfish, anglers fishing from shore along the Sound have been picking up some small sea bass while targeting tog. Overall, bottom fishing continues to be one of the more reliable options on the North Fork, while striped bass are still providing opportunities for anglers concentrating on the evening bite.

The crew at WeGo Bait and Tackle on the North Fork reported that blackfish action remains strong along the rocky Sound shoreline. Anglers fishing jigs tipped with green or white crabs have been finding plenty of tog around the area's productive structure. Striped bass have also been cooperating, particularly during the evening hours when fish have been responding to topwater poppers. After dark, eels have been producing bass for anglers working the shoreline. Inside the bay near Cedar Beach, some porgies and blowfish are still hanging around, providing additional opportunities for anglers looking to put together a mixed bag before the colder weather settles in.
