The waters around Long Island are recognized for some of the best fishing
on the east coast. In fact, over 80 world fishing records have been set on
Long Island since 1980. Among the species of fish caught in Long Island's salt water bays during the various seasons are: flounder, mackerel, blackfish, weakfish, porgies and fluke. Ocean fishermen are catching bluefish, shark, tuna, cod and striped bass. There are several ways for an out-of-towner to go fishing on Long Island. If you bring a rod you can fish free off any public beach or pier. You can rent a boat at most marinas, hire a charter boat or hop on an "open boat" which sail daily and require no advance reservations or minimum number of people. Long Island is home to dozens of fishing tournaments and contests throughout the year with prizes for fish caught from boats, piers and off the beach. Fresh water fishing is plentiful on Long Island although a fishing license is required to fish in our many lakes, ponds and streams.
