The terns showed up in Fire Island Inlet today as per Ray Keyes. Ray saw them by OBI and by afternoon there were many of them working the inlet. The fish must be there or the terns wouldn't be here. It's time to fish.

I received a report today about a gill netter catching big bass, over 40 pounds, outside Fire Island Inlet. There were also bunker in the area. I may investigate this report first hand and will post what I learn about it.

The "Skimmer" ready to fish. I am booking early spring trips for a combination day of flounder and plugging schoolie stripers. Running time is minimal so I can cut the cost and can do a full day for $550.

I will begin full day fishing live bait and plugs for big stripers on May 1 unless I hear of or catch big fish before that time.

The new fluke regualtions for New York State were set today as per Fred Galofaro at the "Fisherman". It ended up where we all expected it to be at 19 1/2 inches, 4 fish per day which is pretty tough when you can only fish in the bay but the the best part is, no closed season. You can start fishing tomorrow if you wish from what I have been told however I think you might have a tough time finding the fish right now but they will be here soon.

With these regulations in place it will be tough to get a keeper in the bay but not impossible and when you catch a fish it will be worth keeping. For those of us that love to fish for fluke in the ocean it will not be much of a hardship and we will be able to fish for the really big fish that usually show up in September and into October.

Welcome back for a new exciting fishing season!

Flounder season opens on Sunday, April 1st. I have heard reports of flounder caught in scallop dredges so they must be there.

Tim Smith and I are going to do a little video on flounder fishing preparation at Augie's Custom Tackle tomorrow and it should be posted on this site before the opener on Sunday.

There is spearing in the bay and the bass cannot be far away.

Hold on tight for another wild bass season and be ready to catch some nice flounder for the plate.
