Fishing Report July 11th, CrabrangMoon

The full moon is here, and its stronger gravitational pull can impact fish activity by affecting tides. This might lead to higher or lower tides, potentially shifting fish to new feeding grounds.

Here's the latest on what's biting:

* **Fluke:** The bite remains consistent, with mostly smaller fish being caught. They've moved into deeper local waters, around 43-55 feet. Interestingly, a good population has also moved into the salt ponds. These fish can be targeted effectively with a light bucktail and a teaser, worked in channels and deep troughs between sandbars.

* **Seabass:** We're getting reports of larger seabass in deeper waters. Inside on the reefs, there are many shorts, and using larger presentations seems to be the best way to sort them out.

* **Bass:** Bigger bass have made their way into the salt ponds and are also abundant on local reefs. Live bait has been the key to hooking the larger fish, while smaller bass can be caught using sand eel imitations and topwater lures.

* **Bluefish:** We've seen fewer bluefish locally this week. A few are still being caught from the rocks, but more can be found out around the island now.

* **Tuna:** Tuna reports have been excellent this week, with most fish in the mid-40-inch range. Trolling with green, zucchini, and purple side trackers has been successful, and some customers are also catching fish on jigs and plugs.
