Long Island and NYC Fishing Report- July 3, 2024
The Eastern Long Island Fishing Report is compiled and written by writer/blogger and fly-fishing industry professional, Jack Larizadeh (@jack.lariz). Bill at Chasing Tails Bait & Tackle in Oakdale reports: “Another solid week of fluke fishing is in the books this summer. So many large fish are running around the bay, and so many people are getting on a great bite. Fish over 20 inches have been quite common. No 10 pounders that I have seen yet, but lots of 6- to 8-pound fish are here. Hit the channels and the flats with some light tackle. Our shop rigs, especially bucktail rigs, are a local favorite for anglers and fish. Pop on your favorite squid and spearing combo, fluke belly, or soft plastic, and you’re ready to crush em! A good amount of very nice weakfish are being caught as well. No giant tide runners so far from what I’ve seen, but they’re lurking. Fish light for them as well; finesse is key to landing the weakfish of a lifetime. Bluefish are definitely still around, and some still have good size to them. The local docks are full of blue claw crab and blowfish. Kingfish and snappers are very close behind.”
