To the delight of Long Island Sound anglers, fluke action erupted this week in the waters between Old Field Point and Riverhead. "Catches are excellent at Mount Misery Shoal," revealed Stan Hentschel of Rocky Point Fishing Station, "but there's plenty of fish both east and west." Drift tight to the beach in 10 to 18 feet of water and use Peruvian smelts to target quality fish to 24 inches.

Sound anglers have also been drilling school bass on diamond jigs near buoys 9 and 11, with fewer but larger linesiders in Porpoise Channel taking clams and worms. Blues are plentiful from Smithtown Bay to Wading River. Connect with a fly rod or surface popper and you won't consider them a nuisance.
