Big blackfish are caught off the North Fork and the west end, stripers continue to feed on bunker and sand eels out front, and freshwater fishing picks up in the creeks and ponds.
The blackfish bite holds strong in the Sound and the NY Bight, bluefin crash through bait schools near shore and offshore wreck trips yield a mixed bag of cod, sea bass and more.
On both shores, the blackfish bite is on fire from east end to west end, and the central south shore hosts good striper fishing with bluefin tuna in the mix.
