Break Out the Wacky Worms for Sweet Water Bass
Wacky worming has taken freshwater bass fishing by storm over the past several years. In fact, there are some anglers who fish plastic worms almost entirely for bigmouths without ever using another technique. While we would all be happy to see you become more well-rounded black bass sharpies, it’s hard to blame anyone for relying so heavily on this one approach.- Bryce Poyer
Summer's Mixed Bag - Blast on the Bays
No doubt the thrill of targeting cow stripers, gorilla blues, doormat fluke and offshore brutes like tuna and sharks reign supreme among local sharpies. Still, there’s just something very enjoyable about the relaxing and simplistic nature of mixed-bag bottom fishing in our local bays.- Bryce Poyer
Up Your Game for Summer Bigmouths

Hit Shinnecock Canal for a Summer Mixed Bag
Perhaps no place on Long Island is as associated with summertime shore fishing success than is the Shinnecock Canal in Hampton Bays. Those of you with a little gray behind the ears may remember this location as a premiere destination for catching winter flounder in the 1970’s, tiderunner weakfish through the 1980’s and keeper fluke during the 1990’s and early 2000s.
