The Eastern Long Island Fishing Report is compiled and written by writer/blogger and fly-fishing industry professional, Jack Larizadeh (@jack.lariz). Paul from the Peconic Star in Greenport reports: “Porgy fishing is spectacular and the sea bass are coming over the rail in numbers. Additionally, we’re seeing Atlantic and chub mackerel smash our rigs every other drop. We also just had a heavy push of bluefish move in as well, and those fish range anywhere from 2 to 10 pounds. The fishing is hot regardless of the tide. That said, it seems as though the porgies are coming in on the ebb, and blues are chewing more on the flood tide. The porgies are up to 2.5 pounds. We’ve also been seeing a ton of sharks close to home including threshers, puppy makos, and great whites up to 10 feet long around The Gut and Plum Island.”

A recent study is causing anglers and wildlife officials some confusion. Yale University conducted a study that determined a genetic difference between largemouth bass and what is now being called "Florida bass". In response to this study, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has declared bass found in Florida's waterways "Florida bass". The American Fisheries Society has agreed to the distinction between the species.

Alligators are common in Florida lakes and on some golf courses. American crocodiles, on the other hand, are quite rare.

Crocodiles have a reputation for being more aggressive than […]

Last week, a 32-year-old was arrested on trafficking charges after allegedly fleeing from a traffic stop and abandoning the vehicle with a child in the passenger seat. The chase resulted in the discovery of 230 grams of methamphetamine, which the suspect allegedly threw out while fleeing on foot. According to local detectives, the vehicle the suspect was driving was registered to NFL football player Tyreek Hill.

The taxman always gets his share.

Or in this case, he gets the whole thing. Fishermen are always having to keep an eye out for the "taxman," which is what experienced fishers call sharks that lurk behind and around their boats, waiting to steal away their hard-earned catches. It's a really shallow thing to do, but you can't really blame the sharks in the sea for getting an easy meal.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...

Great White Shark Rockets Out Of Water To Steal Striped Bass From Fisherman, Almost Flops Right Into The Boat

Among inshore anglers, false albacore—a.k.a. little tunny—join striped bass and bluefish as one of the most heralded game fish of the northeast. Come late summer, from Cape Cod to New Jersey and everywhere in between, these small inshore tunas electrify our waters as they tear ferociously through schools of young of year baitfish. Year in and year out, they are responsible for some of our best memories on the water, but they’re equally accountable for broken rod tips, spent drags, and the occasional spooling. Whether you’re replacing a rod that was sacrificed in action or it’s simply time for a newer, lighter, more sensitive setup, here are some worthy options for your albie fishing arsenal that are designed to withstand their screaming runs and tame their tuna tendencies.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
