Long Island - Saltwater Fishing Report

Captain Robin Calitri reporting from the East Coast. After spending a frustrating couple of days chasing trout on the Eagle and Gore Rivers in Vail Colorado, I was glad to get back to business on Long Islands North Shore. Dr. Steven Moss fished out of Huntington with me on Monday. He is a very accomplished fly fisher but he summed up my kind of guiding. He said that “It was two old largemouth bass fisherman plying structure. Well did he slay the fish! Blues to 9 pounds and bass to22 inches. Dr. Moss is also a fine chef and he took some fresh blue fillets and cooked them up for dinner company. I cheated and pulled a near keeper out from under the good doctor’s nose on a clouser. The blues were surface feeding and the bass were in tight.

On Thursday July 22 I fished Doctor Louis Catalano. Quite a fly caster! I put him onto surface feeding blues all morning. I couldn’t find him a bass to eat. He deserved it because of a freezing cold May day that we shared on Jamaica bay with few fish. After Louis went to work, I picked up fellow Long Island Bassmaster, Kwame Butts. We went out and found the Blues on top and later some schoolie bass in some of my secret structure. I love this time of year. You owe it to yourself to get into the Huntington and Cold Spring areas. We are expecting the bonitos to join in the fun any day Tight Lines robin
