Long Island Fishing Report – July 22, 2021
Fishing Report For Long Island
Frank from
Bernie’s Bait and Tackle in Brooklyn says Spanish mackerel have entered the scene en masse. Some areas are holding them especially well, like Breezy. Check ‘em out at sunrise, when they’ll be schooling up and attacking the small bait. Dolphins have been seen feeding upon them, which must be a really cool sight. Guys are coming in to buy lots of jigs to target the Spanish mackerel. Word is they’re also by Debs. Porgies are the second preference these days. They’re anywhere and everywhere, actively chewing and consistently bending rods. Bluefish have backed down a bit. They’re scattered throughout the region, and mostly being caught by boat anglers. The surf guys aren’t really seeing many bluefish anymore. Stripers are still a night fishery. There are still some good reports coming from those targeting them. There are a few in the back creeks, but you’re better off getting closer
Doormat: A fluke (summer flounder) that weighs in excess of 10-pounds.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been enamored with summer flounder. I fished for them from boats, bulkheads, rocks, and bridges, as well as from back-bay pontoon party barges.
Family trips took me to Virginia, the Carolinas, and New England, where I fished for fluke. In college at UNC-Wilmington, I received a degree in education but perhaps a Master’s in flatfish because when not studying or waiting tables, I made time for fishing. Many in the region preferred redfish or speckled trout, but I was chasing summer and southern flounder. It was then that I really began to dedicate myself to the pursuit of flatfish after catching multiple “doormats,” the name reserved for fluke over 10 pounds, and many that just missed the mark.
