Crazy,

Do you have any knowledge to share about plugging Long Beach? This past season was my first as a serious surf fishing addict, and I spent most of it at Field 6, Cedar, and an occasional hike to Demo and Sore Thumb, as well as the Nissequogue. I enjoyed learning about the difference between open beach and inlet fishing, though I have a lot to learn about reading the beach and finding structure.

Since I come out from Queens to fish, I thought I'd get to know Long Beach, since its a little closer to home. I assume the jetties provide some good structure, but this is altogether different from Jones and Cedar. I assume casting between, but close to the jetties is a good place to start, but I'm not sure where on the island is a good place (west, east, or middle). Any feedback would be appreciated.

regards and happy new year!

Hi Bassomatic,
The following weeks there will be several shows (Nassau Coliseum and Freeport Show) which will be hosting Surf fishing seminars. These seminars will cover many local waters as well as how-to-read-the-beaches.

I strongly recommend that you attend. I will also be attending those shows - but at this time I don't know what my schedule is... If you see me, please introduce yourself and I will gladly share some of my beach knowledge with you!

Bassomatic, the places you've already fished are
some of the best on of the western south shore.

Long Beach and Atlantic Beach have good rock
jetties that are a perfect haven for stripers
laying in wait for a meal. These are very very
tricky to rock hop on and would suggest first
casting along the sides from the beach before
being that adventurous. The major problem that
both Long and Atlantic beach have is WEED! It's a
hit and miss with the local sea weed in this area.
Since your already from Queens it would be a big
mistake to discount the Rockaway Peninsula and the
offerings Jamaica Bay have to offer.

Hope this helps...
Bern
