It’s all happening now. With the first big blow of the fall last week the fish really began to move well. From Manhattan to Montauk, fishermen began to see the fruits of their labor with many different species. Those fishing the shore have had great success, and boaters have done equally well. Get out there and fish, friends. Don’t miss it.

South Shore

Long Beach: Just like clockwork, the fish are beginning to show, but nothing crazy. Some schoolies are off the beach along with blues from 2 to 10 lbs. Magnolia Pier has been pretty good on the north side, with weakfish, porgies, sea bass, stripers and blues taken on any given day or night. Offshore action has been red-hot, too, with some great tuna action at the Canyon.

Fire Island area: The beginning of the fall weather has brought on some good fishing this past week. Anglers fishing night tides saw some monster blues near the inlet and bridges, with some weakfish and good-sized stripers in the mix. The bay gave up some decent weak action along the dock lines, too. Sea bass and porgies are beginning to take center stage in the bay and outside.

Moriches area: If you want to find the fish, as usual you must find the bait. The mullet are on the run, as are peanuts and other smaller forage. Live baits are accounting for some good action near the inlet. A lot of shorts, but steady action for those putting in the time. Things definitely look good for the fall.

Shinnecock: Sea bass and porgy action took off in the bays and outside of the inlet this week. Anglers fishing dusk or dawn from the jetties have seen some bass and blues on bucktails and pencil poppers. The bait is moving big-time, and things are poised to blow wide open. The Shinnecock Canal also gave up some good fishing. Time it right and you could be there for the explosion.

Montauk Point: The first blow of the season woke Mecca up. Fish up to 30 lbs. crashed the beach last week and made for some classic Montauk action. Boats scored well, too, with bass and blues up to 30-plus lbs. This is the time to schedule a trip to The End, folks.

North Shore

City Island: Big bunker schools are moving, and big blues and bass are on them. Night fishing has been especially hot, with chunks accounting for most of the big catches. Porgy action is very good, too. When you find them, catch ‘em up all you want.

Huntington: More of the same, with all of the species on the move. Some nice schools of blues and bass, plus a few false albacore blitzes have kept fishermen busy. By far, though, the north side from Queens to Orient is absolutely loaded with blues. You can find them almost anywhere. Porgies are everywhere, too, and if you are a fan of panfish, then don’t squander an opportunity to fill the freezer.

Greenport: In a word, bluefish. They are king, having invaded the area. They are tearing up everything you throw at them. Go out with some diamond jigs and have a ball. Porgies are moving, too, but watch where you are. The blues might get them before you do.

Orient Point: Once again, if you want to go blue fishing, head north. No matter where you are the blues will find you.
