Very nice everybody sharing info here... I’ll try and do the same. Captain13... I love the type of fishing. When I go up to the Cape I do that almost every morning from a kayak. I paddle to the sandbars, get out and cast around numerous rips in the inner harbor near Tern Island. But for now it’s fishing the Western Sound.
What channel do you guys monitor when out? I’m always on 88a in the area of Rye, Mamaroneck, out to Stamford etc. I’m going out Monday very early and I’m hoping to have about 2 dozen fresh pieces to cut up as I’m chunking in the middle near the weather buoy. Packing a lunch too.

I’m going to attempt to get out Monday mourning but work might hold me in. I either go out Hempstead harbour or oyster bay Might give the triangle a try and hope for the best. Prob will do same as you joebfishing stay out well past lunch time I’ll keep posted if I make it out

Guy at the docks been getting bass on the troll. White mojos shallow and all white bunker spoons deep. Nothing on yellow or chartreuse.

You know where he was trolling the water? Or at least the depths he was hitting

His shallow was around 15-25 feet. Deep around 40-60. Kept in vague on location. If I had to guess I’d say captains to the weather buoy or 32A.

Awesome...love it! I feel the urgency when you see the fish rise to get the lure out there!
I’m not alone...?

I didn't have a GoPro Sunday morning, but let me describe how the action would have played out.

Collecting a bunch of live bunker. Actually would have made good video. Cutting them into chunks and tossing them out in various areas between Execution and Matinicock, 25-60 foot depths and long video stretches of quiet rods and not much on the fishfinder screen other than bait.
Wind against tide was a bitch.
Oh yeah, one sandshark. Caught more of those in the Sound this year than my lifetime fishing the Sound combined.

We’re doing sea bass and porgies now. Bite was sporadic at best this year on the fluke. It never really came together. Hence the switchover.

A Sandshark??

How big was it? Never caught one in the sound but would love to check it off the list.

I’m assuming he meant dogfish. Several people call them sand sharks. I could be wrong tho

The amount of dogs I've caught the last two seasons im very close to keeping my first one and filleting it.

After all, thats where you get fish and chips from.

Couple of my long time fishing buddies have changed up their game from chunking, to plugging in close at first light. They’re catching while I’m jerkin my gerkin....chasing the good ole’ days of chunking a half dozen slobs.
