The fall fishing action continues to heat up across Long Island as striped bass and blackfish take center stage! This week, we’re reporting from Captree Bait and Tackle ahead of the Fred Golofaro Memorial South Shore Fishing Classic, taking place October 23–25. We’ll also highlight the NYSDEC’s efforts to promote striped bass conservation through treble hook replacement demonstrations. Around the Island, impressive stripers to 40 pounds and beyond are being caught from Montauk to the western South Shore, while quality blackfish continue to come over the rails throughout Long Island Sound. We’ll check in with our local correspondents for the latest fishing reports, share a Canyon Runner update, preview the November edition of The Fisherman, and highlight Episode 31 of The Fisherman Podcast. Plus, we’ll cover upcoming tournaments, fishing events, and more as the fall run rolls on.
