hey guys. Wondering about porgy fishing in may, now that we are about to get year round porgy fixing. Looking to charter a magic hour porgy fishing trip in May 3pm to 8pm. Since I havent fished for porgy in NJ during May, Im not sure if its a good idea. Im stuck betwern chartering a boat in the Long Island sound vs chartering i n NJ. Is porgy fishing hot in may in Nj?

I would check out the Blackhawk in CT. They are a sponsor. Went sea bass/codfishing with them this Fall I was very impressed

Porgy fishing is closed this May in NJ but may be open next year. Usually not too many porgies around here until mid June or so. Before that only a few big ones. Peconic Bay is hot then as is Buzzard's Bay and Hyannis.

NJ only opens 7/1 for porgy

I second the vote for Peconic Bay in May.

It can be hit or miss due to the spawn.
