Fished this pier for a couple hours. Fished a Carolina rigged Anchovy and squid. A few short bites but nothing on the dead bait. Was tossing a Wham Minnow along the weed lines and caught a Spotted Bay Bass. A regular mentioned the pier kicks out some Bass and Mackerel on a regular basis. He also...

Fished here twice in the last week. Not a bite. Had good fresh bait too. Not the most productive Pier but still trying. Has potential to be a good Pier. Talked to some regulars and they also said it's slow overall. One angler mentioned they had a run of big smelt at night.

Winter conditions have made catching slow. Mackerel have been biting during the day but nothing wide open. Went out tonight and it was cold but still a nice clear night. At one point I was the only one fishing. Talked to a few other anglers and most had not caught anything. Caught a decent...

Not much of a report. Tried for 2 hours for nothing. Just brought one outfit rigged for Bonita. It was Bonita or Bust. Saw a few croakers caught along with smelt. No sardines or chovies. Talked to a few regulars and most mentioned Mackerel bite and queenfish. Noticed they place rod holders...

Hopped on the Alicia from H & M landing. Caught 2 legals lobsters and 6 rock crab. Fun trip hooping and fishing between drops. Caught some Sand bass and a few sting Rays. They provide all the hoops and bait. You just pull up your hoop when it's your turn. Great way to learn lobster hooping.

Nice weather past few days. Fished for a few hours around noon. Caught some Mackerel for some future lobster trips. Saw a few jacksmelt caught by other anglers using sabikis. Not much else biting. During the day they have a deli serving Hotdogs, burgers, sandwiches. They also have a nice lineup...

Tried to Hoop for Lobster but was blanked. Caught a small spider Crab and a snail. Caught a few Mackerel. Kept a few macks for future lobster hunting.

Warm weather and ideal tides but catching was slow. Went out tonight from 9:30 pm to about 1am to cool down from hot weather. Mackerel bite was off tonight. Angler next to me caught à Angel Shark. I caught some small Bass, croaker, and some sculpin. Mainly using salted anchovy on a light...

I usually fish late at night, but decided to fish around noon time. Caught a few macks. A few other macks caught by other anglers. Chatted with a few regulars and they mentioned only mackerel has been biting. Spring should improve the catch ratio. Saw the bait shop was open. The store hours...

Not much action down here at Shelter Island. Only short Mackerel bites here and there. Nothing else biting. Tried hooping for lobster this weekend during the king tides. Only small crabs biting. Better and warmer weather so hopefully better days...

Received some Intel that Big Corvina around the pier. Brought my best surface lures. Fished today from 12pm to about 245 pm tossed everything for nothing. Only thing exciting was a big needle fish followed my shimano waxwing lure, but it did not strike. Saw some major boils away from the pier...

Went fishing from 9pm to about 1230am. First 2.5 hours just a small ray on squid. Then around 1130pm...a nice run of mackerel. A bit bigger than usual. Caught all on strip squid with the assistance of a glow stick. Fun on spinning gear with 6 pound test.

Some nice ideal tide to fish for the past week. Mackerel are consistent. Best method has been fishing about 3 to 5 feet under the surface with a glow light. Fresh mack or squid worked. Caught some Spotted Bay Bass using ghost shrimp. Bass from 6 inches with 2 close to legal. Caught a few...

Fished the pier last dew days and finally catching fish...3 decent bass and a few tiny ones. Also some mixed rays. 2 big Sargo. All caught on fresh or frozen bloodworms. Pics don't do justice. Fun times and sure the summer will be good fishing.

Fished this pier from 6pm till about 8pm yesterday. Tide was ideal for catching but only got 1 nibble. Talked to some regulars and they say a good shark and bay bite happens when it gets dark. One guy mentioned he caught a 4 foot shovelnose the previous night. While their no mackeral just plenty...

Mackerel being caught using glow sticks. Most are small and the bite is slow. They bit the strips of squid. Fished a bottom rig using market shrimp. Caught a small spotted bass and a black croaker. Also caught a small perch but not sure the species. It unhooked itself before I can bring it up...

It's been at least 10 years since fishing here. It can be a hidden gem of a pier. Great location right next to an inlet to some marshland. Gamefish like Bonita, corvina, spotted bay bass hang around the inlet to intercept baitfish on an outgoing tide. Timing was bad as I fished a low tide...

I been fishing the pier last few days...Weather has been summer like. Mackeral bite has been good. Best time is an incoming tide. Nothing wide open but a consistent bite. I been using a strip of squid on a light spinning outfit. I caught a few small spotted bay bass. They bit on some ghost...
