I have a small inflatable boat so I am pretty much stuck with fishing within the limits of the bay... I think. In any case I am definitely more comfortable within the confines of the bay. Does anyone know of any spots where keeper sized porgies can be caught in the bay?

Try the marine parkway bridge - center span, nearer to the coast guard station, use clams with bunker chumpot...

I used an inflatable boat as well, I don't recommend the MPB since the swells are really strong and keeper ratio isn't that impressive. Do you row or have a small motor? If motor I guess it's doable. But I prefer to find a quieter bay, I don't venture out into open water on my inflatable and its an Avon which is a presitigous brand of inflatables.

Try for another fish first there until you get comfortable, it can get rough there, I went on my boat there once and was overwhelmed, I moved to the quieter waters of FBF quickly.

Careful with structure, always be careful with structure.

Have a mercury quicksilver 340s but I also picked up an air floor and high pressure pump for convenience. Have been doing the blues and bass (although with very limited success on the bass, lol) Just fugure that's gonna die down soon as the water warms. Have a Johnson 15hp two stroke so I travel fairly quickly. Get from Floyd Bennett Field to the Airport in less than 20 min. If I had to guess doing about 18 to 20 knots.

Also just wanted to expand my choices/ Horizons on species caught.

How big is your Avon and what are you hanging on the back?

A looong time ago we used to fish a rocky spot no too far from the Canarsie pier, out off the bridge to the west on the belt parkway. Small spot so it was tough to get on, especially without any electronics (rental skiff) but we would catch good if we could get on the spot. You might find it if you can get a slow drift.
