Background
I love taking people out fishing in New York City! Jamaica Bay, Lower NY Bay, and the New York Bight offers calm, sheltered water, teeming with gamefish! There is no better feeling than spending a great day on the bay!
Techniques
Light tackle back bay and coastal jigging and live bait fishing for all inshore species in season including trophy fluke, striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, porgies, and false albacore.

Picking up right where we left off at the end of last season. Striped bass have returned. We’ll catch them good through mid June before switching gears to summer flounder (fluke) and bluefish. All good ??

Another fishing season is back upon us. Striped bass of all sizes are stacked up in the back bays, feeding on adult bunker but readily wacking surface lures and swim shads as well. We look forward to seeing this good back bay, calm water striped bass fishing continue into June before the water temperature climbs up and the bass are replaced by fluke and bluefish.

Good action this morning for Mike and crew. All of our local fall favorites were in the mix. Live bait is still dominating but the bass are really starting to chase bait and hit artificial lures. The start of great things to come.
