April 18th 2024 Long Island Metro Fishing Report with Matthew Broderick

The official opening week for striper season saw solid reports from the western to central parts of the region and even some bass pushing to the island's eastern end. Back bays on both the north and south shores continued to be the best options for fish up to about 20 pounds, slamming small lures and most natural baits. Tog season has been off to a tough start on the outside reefs due to wind, but when it is possible to get to them, they're chewing well. The inside bridges and structures are beginning to show better signs of life with the tog in recent days. Sweetwater action remains another solid bet for trout, largemouth bass, and pickerel.

Thanks as always and thanks Rich for the water temps and weather it’s appreciated! 💪🏽😎🇺🇸

increasing the fluke limit to 19 inches has not been proven to have any effect in stabilizing the population, its all games, the blame is on the commercial nets not us fishermen looking for a fish for dinner.

Exactly that’s what I’m saying😂😂

I’ve created a surfcasters watch for poachers. Poachers beware, we will be on your ass if seen by my association.
