Big bass chase bunker schools in central Long Island Sound, bluefish dominate the south shore surf, and weakfish make a showing with keeper fluke in the back bay channels.

Bluefish hit the south shore surf, stripers feed actively in the back bays and the inlets, and shops prepare for fluke season as spring tautog season comes to a close.

Stripers are hit swim shads and minnow plugs in the back bays, schoolies hit the South Shore surf, and blackfish and cod bite on the offshore wrecks.

Tautog and cod come over the rail on wreck trips, stripers stack on the flats in Long Island Sound, and stocked trout provide reliable action in the rivers and ponds.

Carp, white perch and holdover schoolie stripers take flies and jigs in tidal ponds and creeks, while largemouth bass and panfish provide spotty action in freshwater ponds.
