Way back when I used to work at Jacob Riis Park, I used to fish close to the bridge that leads from rockaway to brooklyn, both sides, along with the beaches of Jacob Riis when I saw blitz of blues, and the inlet of jamacia bay was always good, which was the furthest tip of rockaway, if you go any day you'll see many ppl wading in the waters fishing surf, some even flyfishing trying to catch anything from blues, stripers, and weaks. Hope that helps, tight lines.
