Shinnecock fluke fishing is still pretty-good in the areas just east and west of Ponquogue Bridge, according to Scott at East End Bait and Tackle in Hampton Bays. Sand eel and Peruvian spearing have been the hot baits of late, with bucktails accounting for most of the keepers. School stripers, and an occassional keeper, are also at the bridge, although these have shown a preference for clam bait.
Outside, in the ocean, short fluke litter the sea floor but keepers remain scarce. If you want something to take home for dinner, try for Peconic Bay porgies in the South Race, off Robins Island. Some bluefish are there, too. Snappers are starting up inside Shinnecock Canal but they are still running too small to keep. Give it another week or two on that front.
Offshore, seveal makos in the 100 to 120-lb range were caught and released during the past week. Most have come from within only 10 or 12 miles of teh beach. Tuna action has been only fair.
