The Fire Island Inlet bluefish and striper action around Robert Moses Bridge has been hot most of the spring and shows little sign of letting up at this point. If you’ve been thinking of heading out to give it a shot, Neil Delanoy, captain of the Captree open boat Laura Lee, thinks this weekend has the potential for some real solid evening catches.
“The late night action has been very good of late,” said Delanoy, “with anglers catching plenty of blues and some stripers on Bass Assassins. This weekend’s tides look especially inviting with a 6:00 p.m. departure time just about right.”
Several boats at Captree have evening trips for bass, blues and weakfish scheduled for this weekend. In addition to the Laura Lee (www.captree.com,) consider the Jib VI (www.jibvi,) Island and Bay Princess (www.islandprincessfishing.com,) or the Fish Finder (www.captreefishfinder.com).
