Long Island - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fish Long Island Now!
There is nothing more fun than sharing my passion with friends and new fisherpeople. This week was special. I began on Monday with Dr. Steven Moss. He is a fine fly fisher. We argued, in a good-natured way, because I promised him a striper and he thought that August was no a striper month. His first fish was a nice schoolie bass. He then fed lures to large bluefish in very shallow waters in Northport Bay. These choppers ate everything. They bit through leaders, took hooks off plugs and just plain got away. Doc finished up with some small blues for the table. He and his wife Lydia are fine chefs.
Tuesday was an East Hampton Day. I picked up ski pals Val Kadisch and Neal Magnus in Sag Harbor. It was blowing out of the east so we chose to ignore Montauk and fish out of East Hampton. After a brief refresher for Neal and a crash beginner’s course in casting for Val, we went out. Within five minutes, Neal had a bass and blue. We then chased stuff around Gardiner’s Island. We hooked a huge bass of Cartwright and a giant blue next. Both fish won. Later on, we found blues in quiet waters. Val and Neal caught until their arms fell off, on poppers.
Wednesday was extra special. Grandpa Bill Hezig arranged to fish his grandchildren Allison, Ashley and Andrew, ages 10, 7 and 4, with Grandma acting as tech support. I picked them up, by boat at their wonderful cottage in Duck Island. We taught the girls to cast and soon Allison and Amy took large blues on poppers. Latter we took out four year old Andrew who promptly landed a blue. What a great job they all did!
