Trophy Fish Caught

Recent outings have yielded impressive results, with significant trophy fish being landed across our primary routes. The striped bass fishing in Mastic Beach, NY, has been particularly active lately, with several large keepers caught using live bait near the inlet. We are also seeing a strong showing of bluefish and quality black sea bass on the local wrecks. While we occasionally see unique visitors like tropical fish drifting north in the warmer Gulf Stream currents during late summer, our focus remains on the hard-fighting local staples that make this region famous. These recent catches demonstrate the effectiveness of our specialized tackle and the deep local knowledge Captain Paul brings to every session.

Narrow Bay - Suffolk, NY Inshore Report on 18th Mar, 2026

The bite is heating up in the Moriches area and Just One Bite Charters has the inside track on the action. The spring run is officially showing signs of life here in Mastic Beach, NY. Over the last few days, we’ve seen a steady increase in activity within the bay and around the inlet. The striped bass fishing in Mastic Beach, NY, is currently the main draw, with schoolies filling up the shallow flats and larger fish beginning to move through the deeper channels. We’ve had the most success using live bait and light tackle, which makes for a great fight for anglers of all skill levels. In addition to the bass, the flounder fishing in Mastic Beach, NY, has remained consistent. We are finding them in the muddier bottoms where the water warms up quickly on the incoming tide. For those looking for a mix of species, the scup and black seabass are starting to show up around the local wrecks and reefs during our ocean fishing charters. Conditions have been favorable, and even on the windier days, the diversity of the Mastic Beach ecosystem allows us to find protected spots where the fish are still feeding. Our family fishing charters in Mastic Beach, NY, have been particularly productive lately. It’s been great seeing kids get their "first bite" and seeing the excitement when they pull up a solid keeper. We are currently running trips seven days a week through the peak of the season. If you are looking to book a fishing charter in Mastic Beach, NY, now is the time to get on the schedule while the migration is in full swing. "The fish are waking up and I've got the rods rigged and ready—let’s get you out there and hooked up."
