Shinnecock and Peconic Bay Fishing Report 5-12-24

Over in Peconic bay I'm told the porgies are hanging around the Jessups Neck area as the do most every spring. The difference being the bite. Its not ferocious by any means. The bite is a grind to get your limit. Best advice is to bring plenty of chum to get them under the boat. The bluefish and bass are in the south race and areas further east. The biggest surprise has been the lack of weakfish in the area. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The Shinnecock bay has seen some fluke with keepers in the mix. The area near the mouth of the Shinnecock canal has had a decent bite and we did hear of a few fish around the Ponquogue bridge. The striped bass are hanging around the Ponquogue bridge and in the Shinnecock inlet. Bluefish are in Shinnecock as well.

The shore bound guys have not been disappointed with both bluefish and striped bass off our ocean beaches and in the inlet. The Shinnecock canal has seen a mixed bag of fluke, striped bass, bluefish and blowfish. We did hear of a couple keeper fluke from the Ponquogue bridge.
