Try deeper H20, with less activity. The bridges are usually picked through. Going to take a bit more work inside.

You need to go outside for decent size porgies. Around JI, the Hempstead and Fishing Line (McCalister) reefs are very good, as well as the various inshore wrecks (Stone Barge, Steel, etc.)If you are limited to inside the inlet, Two Cousins is your best bet for keeper size ))

Were is the steel wreck? If its offshore how far out is it?

Moriches

Does anyone know where you can catch keeper size porgy in moriches? I uses to get them in the hole east of the inles but have not seen any in years.
What about outside??

Try the North Shore

I started catching them in May last year while Spring blackfishing. It was actually a run of fairly decent size fish 1.25 - 2 lbs. Had to throw them back since the season didn't open until June but a good sign for that season. The last few years have yielded phenomenal porgy fishing on the North Shore. If you can get to City Island, rent a skiff from Jacks and hit any of the western Sound points from June to Sept. You won't be disappointed.
