Spent a week up there, and another at Little Deer Island just south. AWFUL FISHING. In fact its even hard to find bait shops up there.
Gin clear water 20 feet deep to the bottom and not even killies are seen. It's beautiful BUT the absolute pits for fishing.
The Arthur Kill in Elizabeth in the growing up in the 1960's-70's had better fishing.
Had to get bait from a lobster boat at Lobster Coop in Stonington.
Did I say it was the worst fishing I have ever experienced?
