The hot run of keeper fluke continues, with solid scores made outside all the south shore inlets, at Montauk and between Mt. Sinai and Mattituck. Best of the south side action remains fairly deep, 60 to 80 feet of water, while the Sound fish are concentrated in 20- to 30-foot depths. Some very nice scores were also made by anglers heading off to Block Island.
Two fluke trends of note: the ocean fish are hitting very well on whole squid while white has been the hot color bucktail on the North Shore.
If you are looking for a scup dinner, isolated humps and rock piles off Huntington, Port Jefferson and Greenport are producing very well with clams the top bait.
The western Sound, from Smithtown Bay to Hempstead Harbor, is loaded with school blues.
