Labor Day weekend is here, and with it comes one of the biggest boating and fishing holidays of the year. This week’s Weekly Video Fishing Forecast delivers a September preview, a cinematic return to Alaska’s Tanaku Lodge, and a post-storm fishing trip with Jenni Ackerman. Fire Island legend Capt. Al Lorenzetti shares a quick story, and we’ll run through all the latest events, plus updates on the Dreamboat and Coastal Kayak Clash. Around the Island, stormy weather slowed things down, but action is bouncing back fast—Montauk boats found porgies, sea bass, and yellowfin offshore, while the South Shore produced fluke, snappers, and crabs in the bays. The West End even gave up a trophy sheepshead. Surfcasters are scouting new structure after Hurricane Erin, with bass and blues starting to show again. As always, email in your catches for a shot at the forecast or even the cover, and stick around for Rich Von Ohlen’s weekend weather outlook.
