wreck fishing off fire island in december
1,275 views·7 replies·by PeterP
hello all. i was wondering if someone could enlighten me on the wreck/bottom fishing nearshore in December off fire island. I'm usually out of the water by now but the weather has been mild and I was thinking of planning a trip to target sea bass, cod, tog and whatever else. Problem is I don't know how far i need to run this time of year. I was thinking the 20-30 miles wrecks may be good but i'm inexperienced for this time of year. Any help would be appreciated.

I can do that. The fishing is generally pretty good on the ocean obstructions S of FII, and (in general) the further East you sail, the better the fishing. What you need is to purchase a Captain Seagull chart for that area - and all will be revealed. The numbers on that chart are surprisingly accurate.

Cod and blackfish will be In close. Sea bass you would have to be in 180’ plus feet of water

I fish near/offshore regularly during the season. Im just trying to figure out how far I need to travel. My last several trips to the 10-15mile wrecks late October were met with nothing but porgies.

You can run from fire but you can't run from water.
This would be my recommendation.
