Tog Season Opens!
LI Sound: October 11th
NY Bight: October 15th

Surfcasters, your time is now! Some of the best surf fishing of the year is taking place along a good portion of the South Shore from the Hamptons beaches going west to Fire Island. Large sand eels are fueling the fishing with stripers to 45 pounds being reported. Bunker pods are holding big stripers on them as well on the west end of the island. Some large bluefish are also being reported from the South Shore as well. With most of the fluke now gone the anticipation for the tog season is at an all-time high. The season opens Friday in the Sound and Tuesday in the NY Bight. Remember, you must follow the regulations from the port area that you leave out of. Tuna fishing reports are coming in as well from the eastern end of the island with word on giants patrolling the midshore grounds.
