The 2025 Fishing Season is in FULL SWING!

First, I want to wish my wonderful clients (past, present and future) and all who visit, a very Happy SUMMER!

Fishing Report: 8/25/2025

Bonito and Spanish Mackerel are here!

DON’T WATCH FROM THE COUCH!

Sorry for the delayed report. Fishing hard and the fishing couldn’t be better this time of year! Over the past couple of weeks the overall local Bass fishing has been good to sometimes even “great” as long as you are fishing early mornings and evenings/nights. Early mornings are always better in my opinion because you have the whole night prior to cool things off and settle things down as opposed to hours of daylight and heat, prior to evenings. The evening and night sessions can be great, but make sure the tide is right. Over the past week the tides really lined up well during the morning trips and quite a few of my great clients were rewarded with lock and load jig and topwater bites with fish to over 25 pounds being taken, all on artificial’s! The fish have been surprisingly shallow at times as well. On the hard tail front, I have great news! Bonito are local! There aren’t a ton of them yet, but every day I am seeing more and more! They have been pretty isolated so being keyed in on them is very important. There are also Spanish mackerel around, adding to the excitement!

From now through basically the end of the season (Thanksgiving) is CRUNCH TIME! The fishing is only going to get better as we move into the month of September with the bonito and false albacore invading Long Island Sound and everything else, beginning to fatten up for their journey back south. The Fall run is right around the corner! Now is the time to book your dates. If you can only fish on weekends (September - November), please book sooner, rather than later. Weekends are always high demand during the fall run. If you’re on the fence about booking a trip during the fall run, historically Labor Day through all of October is best, locally. Spin and Fly! Action packed!

If you have any questions or any issues booking, please do not hesitate to reach out direct! Thank you.
