As a youth we used to catch some spring flatties off the North Channel Bridge in Howard Beach. From what I read in the reports this area still produces. Give a call in to Cross Bay Bait & Tackle in Howard Beach for the latest report. Smitty's fishing station in Broad Channel rents small skiffs if you are interested in getting out on the water. Magnolia pier in Long Beach might also hold some flounders. Good Luck!

Treefella is right on the money with his reccomendation!.......I also have many memories of catching flounder from the cross bay bridge.
If you can....a rental skiff from smitty's in cross bay is really "flounder city" around easter.
Get the skiff and fish in front of the "yacht club"
Southwest winds always.....Seaox

Treefella,
Allow me to interject, when flounder fishing in a wide-open area, it is very important to chum! Since you will be fishing from a bridge? the best time to chum would be approximately 1 1/2 hour before the slack water! If the bridge is too high ? don?t use chum pots - Simply toss a couple handful of crushed mussels around your fishing area and that should start the slick!
Why 1 ½ hr before slack? It will give the fish 1 ½ hour to follow your chum slick (congregate) and you will be able to cull them during the slack phase.
Good luck on the opening day!
