Fishing action remains steady across Long Island as striped bass continue to provide the bulk of the excitement from Montauk Point to the Western Sound. Quality bass to 50 pounds were reported from both boat and shore anglers, while bluefish are becoming more consistent in eastern waters. The South Shore saw solid action on stripers, weakfish and keeper fluke, including a 7.3-pound weakfish from Great South Bay. North Shore anglers found success trolling mojos and working topwater plugs, while freshwater fishermen connected with rainbow trout, largemouth bass and panfish. Offshore prospects continue to improve as attention begins shifting toward the canyons, making for a diverse mix of opportunities across the region.
