Long Island, Metro NY - North Shore Fishing Reports

UPDATE YOUR LICENSE AND REGISTRY, AND MORE ON CIRCLE HOOKS

The season is fast approaching and it’s a good time to make sure your freshwater fishing license and marine registry are up-to-date. There are plenty of options for getting it done as managing editor Matt Broderick explains in this week’s E-News. The ASMFC’s Striped Bass Board will be meeting on March 14 to discuss possible changes to the requirement of using circle hooks when bait fishing for striped bass. The results of that meeting will guide the state’s circle hook regulations. Senior editor Fred Golofaro has the info you need to listen on the meeting.

It is the time of year for saltwater anglers when their options are limited. Basically, it’s a choice of chasing cod, fishing from the docks and piers for herring or playing catch and release with striped bass. Good numbers of herring can be found at Manhasset Bay, Oyster Bay, Port Washington, Huntington and the Centerport Bridge. If you want squid check out Oyster Bay and Huntington. Many shops will be open during the winter, but it is advisable that you call ahead.
