7/14/23 So Many Choices!

Fishing for striped bass remains very good with bass into the 30-pound class being caught locally on live eels and even bigger bass out around Block Island. Chunking from the beach at night has produced some nice fish for a few customers this week. More bait showing up in the salt ponds peanut bunker, juvenile fluke, juvenile seabass and various rain bait.

There are still some bluefish around but not quite as many as earlier in the season. Mackerel schools can be found cruising the south shore.

Tons of scup and a decent number of black sea bass.

Offshore, the tuna bite has been heating up with reports of bluefin and a few yellowfin being caught from areas south of Montauk and Block Island.
