Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Huntington
Huntington, NY sits on a productive stretch of the Long Island Sound, with Huntington Bay, Northport Bay, and Cold Spring Harbor forming a sheltered estuarine network rich in structure and bait. This area offers consistent inshore saltwater action for striped bass, bluefish, fluke, porgies, and blackfish, while nearby reservoirs and ponds hold largemouth bass, panfish, and stocked trout. Shorelines, town docks, rocky points, and mooring fields all fish well when you match tactics to tide and season.
Saltwater patterns in Huntington revolve around spring and fall migrations. In April and May, schoolie striped bass push into the harbors following bunker and spearing. Focus on creek mouths, channel edges, and back-bay mud flats that warm first. Small swimmers, 3–5 inch soft plastics on light jig heads, and bucktails work well for early bass; fish them slowly along the bottom on a moving tide. By late May into June, fluke settle into the channels of Huntington Bay and along the drop-offs into Long Island Sound. Drift bucktail jigs tipped with Gulp! or squid strips in 10–40 feet, keeping your offering bouncing just off bottom.
Summer brings mixed-bag action. Bluefish slash through bunker schools in the bay and off pros like Target Rock, Cranes Neck, and Eatons Neck. Look for bird activity and rip lines; cast metals, poppers, or large soft plastics and retrieve briskly to trigger strikes. Porgies and black sea bass set up on rock piles, rubble, and wrecks in the Sound. A simple hi-lo rig with clam or squid strips on light tackle will produce steady action when you anchor over hard bottom and keep bait tight to the structure.
Fall is prime time around Huntington. Striped bass and false albacore key on bait pushed along the North Shore by cool northwest winds. Work the outflows of Huntington Harbor, Lloyd Harbor, and Northport Bay on dropping tides with swimming plugs, metal-lip swimmers, and 1–2 oz bucktails. For albies and bonito, scale down to small epoxy jigs and tins, match the size of rain bait, and retrieve fast with occasional pauses. Blackfish (tautog) fishing peaks in October–November on rock piles and breakwalls; use green crabs on simple bottom rigs and maintain a tight line to feel subtle bites.
Access options are varied. Public docks and piers in Huntington and Northport give shore anglers reach into deeper water and channel edges, while shoreline parks and rocky points allow casting to rips and bait schools. Kayaks and small boats shine in this area; work shorelines, mooring fields, and channel edges quietly, especially at dawn and dusk, when larger bass cruise shallow. Always pay attention to wind against tide conditions in the Sound, as short, steep chop can build quickly.
Freshwater opportunities around Huntington include town and county lakes that hold largemouth bass, pickerel, panfish, and, seasonally, trout. In spring and fall, downsized inline spinners, small jerkbaits, and live nightcrawlers take trout and panfish around inlets and dam outflows. In summer, fish soft plastic worms, creature baits, or jigs tight to weed lines and laydowns early and late in the day for bass and pickerel. Light spinning tackle with 6–8 lb test covers most freshwater situations, while inshore saltwater anglers do well with 7–8 ft medium or medium-heavy spinning setups and 15–30 lb braided line topped with a fluorocarbon leader.
