Dog Days Still Biting

THE DOG DAYS ARE HERE… AND THE FISH HAVENT GOTTEN THE MEMO! Mid-August is shaping up exactly the way Long Island anglers like it. Fluke remain one of the main attractions, with fish spread throughout the bays, inlets, reefs and offshore structure. The ocean bite has been especially productive, and although anglers may have to work through plenty of shorts, there are some impressive keeper fluke mixed in. The South Shore is offering a little bit of everything. Bluefish are cruising the inlets, sea bass and porgies are hanging around the wrecks and reefs, and occasional bonito and cobia are adding some summertime surprises. For the offshore crowd, tuna fishing continues to be one of the biggest stories of the summer, with bluefin and yellowfin available from relatively close- to-home waters all the way toward the canyon grounds. Mahi are also showing for anglers hunting floating structure offshore. And don't overlook the bays. Snappers are getting bigger, crabbing is hot, and a simple afternoon trip with the kids can turn into one of those days they remember all winter. These are the weekends you bought a boat for. Load the rods. Pack the cooler. Grab the family. Whether you're running offshore in an Invincible or Yellowfin, fluke fishing from a Parker, Sportsman or NorthCoast, or cruising the Great South Bay aboard a Ranger Tug, there is still a lot of Long Island summer left. And if you're still watching everyone else leave the dock… White Water Marine can fix that.

SUMMER FISHING IS IN FULL SWING ON LONG ISLAND! August has arrived, and this is exactly what we wait all year for. Fluke fishing continues to produce throughout the Great South Bay, around the inlets and especially on the ocean reefs and deeper structure. There are plenty of shorts keeping rods bent, but some quality keeper fish are mixed in for anglers willing to move around and work the right water. Bucktails, Gulp and traditional squid-and-spearing combinations continue to get the job done. Bluefish are keeping things interesting around the South Shore inlets and bays, while sea bass, porgies and ling are giving bottom fishermen plenty of options offshore. And if you're looking for something a little bigger, the offshore bite is getting serious—bluefin and yellowfin tuna are being caught within striking distance of Long Island, with mahi beginning to show around offshore structure and floating debris. This is also one of the best times of the year to simply get the family on the water. Snappers are showing around the docks, blue claw crabbing is excellent, and there is something to catch almost everywhere you look. Whether your perfect day means chasing tuna offshore aboard an Invincible or Yellowfin, working the reefs in a Parker or Sportsman, or spending the weekend cruising and fishing with the family aboard a Ranger Tug or NorthCoast, August is what boating on Long Island is all about. ⚓ Don't spend the rest of summer wishing you had the right boat.
