Nissequogue River
This past February I headed up to Terminal Tackle in Kings Park to pick John Richy’s brain regarding the tidal reaches of the Nissequogue River.
Hot Spots
Twin Capes Ferry
On June 15, 2018 an 11-month project was completed when the State of Delaware sank the Twin Capes, a ferry boat that once served the Cape May/Lewes run across Delaware Bay.
Seaside Park, Waterford, CT
An excellent location with a variety of angling opportunities for both shore and boat anglers alike.
The Breach at Old Inlet
I haven’t seen an aerial shot yet but my understanding is the breach/old inlet got much bigger.
Dog Lump
A certain little spot packs a big bite in South Jersey.
The Narrow River, Narragansett, RI
A great surf spot to hit in the fall or when a big storm is brewing out front.
Rockaway Reef
The Rockaway Artificial Reef turns an impressive 44 years old this year and holds the title of being the first artificial reef in New York State waters.
Hatchett Reef, CT
Hatchett Reef, also known as Four Mile River Reef, is a very fishy place. Located at 41.2684° x 72.2665°, it’s marked by red N “6” on its south end and green C “1” on its north end.
Throgs Neck Bridge
Spanning between Queens and the Bronx, the Throgs Neck Bridge may be better known for its traffic jams and ongoing road construction, but for anglers the reality is that the bridge and its surrounding waters provide excellent potential for tangling with some of our most popular inshore gamefish.
17 Fathom Bank
Nestled on the upper west end of the Mud Hole, 17 Fathoms is always mentioned by the top captains throughout the year.
Tuna “East of Chatham”
Quite often you’ll see the reference to “East of Chatham” when reading the offshore fishing reports in regards to summer bluefin tuna.
Gardiners Island
Gardiners Bay is approximately 10 miles long and 8 miles wide, and sits between the two forks at the eastern end of Long Island.
Lobster Claw
As bluefin tuna have been summering over in Jersey’s midshore waters the past few years, an oft overlooked spot is in the limelight again – the Lobster Claw.
Noyak Bay
Nestled between the North Haven Peninsula and Jessup Neck and southward of the western end of Shelter Island and part of the Peconic Bay estuary sits Noyack Bay.
Matinecock Point
The fall season of 2017 along the western end of Long Island Sound went into the history books as one of the best weakfish runs in recent times.
Axel Carlson Reef
Tied with Atlantic City Reef for size at 4 square miles, and one of the two oldest of the artificial bottom layouts, Axel Carlson Reef is second only to the Cape May Reef (4.5 square miles) for size.
