This week’s Long Island fishing report is loaded with late-summer action as we head into one of the biggest weekends of the season, with the Greatest Bluefish Tournament on Earth taking over Long Island Sound. We’ll hear from WICC program director Allan Lamberti, check in on the latest Canyon Runner offshore report, and go around the map for fresh reports on bluefin tuna, fluke, wahoo, albies and freshwater bass. We also highlight some standout catches, including impressive tuna action close to the beach, quality South Shore fluke, a near-record wahoo and a strong largemouth bite in the freshwater scene. Plus, we check the latest Dreamboat Challenge leaderboard, preview the September issue of The Fisherman, hear from our correspondents across the Island and get insight from Mark Sedotti on big fish and feeding times. We’ll also plug our latest ICAST coverage featuring P-Line and Danco, Episode 23 of the podcast featuring Legends of the Surf, The Hunt for Albies and Where Are the Stripers Now?, and wrap things up with a full rundown of upcoming fishing events, clinics, festivals and shows across Long Island.
