Just wondering if anybody fishes the waters from the UN to the Tribrough bridge. Fished from a boat their and did very well on blues and bass. Would like to learn more about fishing from shore in the area. Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated. I fish the North and South Shore and would like to find something a little closer to home.......Thanks

I have fished the East River on several occassions, but only by boat at night under the Manhatten skyline. Most people don't realize what a great fishery the East River is,and from what I understand it has really cleaned up and just continues to improve.Sorry I dont know the area that well for surf.

You can surf fish from Roosevelt Island. Fish the side facing Manhattan and fish either end of the Island. This time of year outgoing tide is best.
