Jumbo Porgies, Monster Blues

Porgy action has been solid of late in the western Long Island Sound. Many of the fish being caught are in the jumbo league. Fish in 20 to 30 feet of water off any point, chum with clam, and use clam or squid for bait and you should put together a solid catch. Some nice catches have also been put together to the extreme east at Hortons Point.

Blues are still running big and thick east of Riverhead, and back west at the Middle Grounds. Anglers sailing out of Port Jefferson and Mount Sinai Harbor have been catching choppers until arm weary. Tubeless diamond jigs have done most of the damage. Most of the blues are in the 6- to 8-pound class, but a few monsters topping 12 pounds have been reported.
