Striped bass have inundated south shore beaches from east to west, albies blitz in the eastern Sound and tautog fishing is good off the north fork and the west end.

Fluke fishing is great in the bays and inlets, 40-inch stripers hit jigs on the North shore, and big blues are everywhere clobbering topwater plugs.

Fluke season starts off strong despite crummy conditions, gator bluefish are scattered across the north and south shores, and weakfish are around in numbers.
