Yea get use to those prices.... the marinas in the sound are crazy expensive but they can get away with it becuase people dont have many other options. Its preety much a monoply. Ive fished up and down the east coast and the western sound has some of the most expensive marinas any where. Try checking out City Island but things at those marinas magically disappear even though there gated in. Be prepared to loose some stuff if you keep your boat there. Its all part of the game if you wanna fish in the sound. If i were you i would bring the boat to mtk and fish weekends there. Fishing in the sound sucks. Its good in may and june. Fluke fishing is okay in the spring if you get the sandeels. And i guess if you like catching bluefish but all in all fishing in the sound gets worse every year cept the bass. Tight Lines Capt. Chris
