Still very slow, a few weeks should see improvement.

It'll be time for fluke and seabass by the time ling show up.

Whats kept them away? Lack of Ling(like flounder) or water temp.

Still slow due to temps but I will be out on Monday so hopefully a few are on the move.

Couple of the Sheepshead Bay boats are catching them. Some nice size to them too. It's a matter of time...

Ling fishing is so good a few of the "ling" headboats from our inlet were on the Knoll clamming bass this morning from what I've heard :rolleyes:

I say memorial day. And it's not a lack of fish, the water's too doggone cold.

Looks a bit breezy Monday so no linging for me.
