Captains Andy LoCascio, Rich Tenreiro, and John Marino of American Sportfishing Charters join forces and head to Huntington, NY to get in on some red hot fall diamond jigging action on the Long Island Sound. They tangle with monster bluefish and big schoolie striped bass in a never ending all out blitz. This bite does not happen every year, but when it does it is simply amazing! This is almost entirely a catch-and-release fishery so be sure to bring a dehooking tool to limit any damage to hooked fish.
The guys illustrate the correct way to use jigs with teasers and finish the day with some awesome topwater action. If you have questions about any of the equipment used during the show, please contact us.
