At some point back in July, we reported about how some captains were approaching burnout after so many consecutive tuna trips thanks to the glorious wind and water conditions (and pretty excellent fishing).

Ocean fluke fishing is bountiful, big bluefish are all over the north shore, and schools of small bait file into the south shore as hardtails approach.

Albies are in thick from the south side out to Nantucket, Spanish mackerel join the party, and big bluefish are everywhere from the Canal to the Islands to Cape Cod Bay.

Gator blues gorge on peanut bunker throughout the Sound, scup and sea bass fishing remains fantastic, and big bass take bunker chunks in deep water at night.

A memorable fluke season continues and cow stripers are caught around Block Island, meanwhile, bluefin and yellowfin take topwaters and jigs south of Block.

Bluefish and Spanish mackerel blitz in the Bay, ocean reefs give up large flounder and sea bass, and striped bass anglers catch speckled trout and puppy drum on topwater plugs.

Free-falling water temperatures are driving stripers, blues, black sea bass, tautog, and groundfish all into feeding mode.

With Lake Ontario Counties Fall Trout and Salmon derby and the big money LOC Fall Derby underway, salmon, brown trout, steelhead, and bass are hitting well.

Gator blues gorge on bay anchovies and peanut bunker in the Sound, stripers bite in the back bays on both shores, and Spanish mackerel invade the south shore surf.

Ocean fluking produces big keepers for the cooler, sheepshead and weakfish bite around the back bay bridges, and the canyons host good fishing for yellowfin and bigeye tuna.
