Saturday morning just about sun rise off Coney Island Beach lots of birds NO fish. Ran over to the Breeze Point Jetty DEAD ! Headed south to the Sandy Hook same story. Ran into Rairitan Bay into Reach & Staten Island beaches No fish Marked lot of bait on the recorder but NO FISH.
Sunday --125-3 Got Lucky 1st Light to approx 7:30 AM lot of birds & fish working the water off Norton Point back into the Bay. A mix of school Bass (to 24 inches) & big blues to 28" inch. It died down pretty quick w/ Boat Traffic. Trollers just kept running thought the fish :mad:
Just about 11:00 AM -approx to 2:00 PM Fish shown-up behind the Islands Birds, Bass & Blues boiling up & spread out. Fish were a little finicky but managed a two more bass (22- 24 inches) & some big blues.
Monday 6:00 AM morning hoping to repeat Sunday morning action hit Norton point to watched the sun rise but no action ran around to ocean side of Coney Island & than West Bank birds working over small bait (rainfish?) NO FISH. Back of Island same story "No fish". Called it a day by 9:30 AM

Hey Mike your my hero, --127-3- fishing 3 days in a row!!!! Great life you live! I'm surprised you didn't get blown out Sunday with the heavy AM wind! I had a slow morning Saturday, missed the striper bite at Breezy, got the old, you should have been here an hour ago! Well I'm have nothing to prove and found a GIGANTIC school of sea robins and caught them on ultra light and had a blast waiting for tide to turn, Wind pick up, I ran all the way past Rikers Island, as in past years it can produce quite well. Wind was howing there too, managed 10 stripers 9 were all about 25" and 1 was 37 & 1/2" had to use 5 ounnce bucktails to barley touch bottom. Only put 90 miles on boat for the day, glad gas prices dropped!
