fish4wallye-
this is indeed a good time to come down to LI to sample the salty action.You said youre looking to go somewhere as close to Binghmton as possible, right? Since youre traveling some distance, and do not get a chance to fish saltwater often (I presume?), you may want to try some bottom fishing for seabass, blacks, ect.The action is excellent right now, with some decent sizes(not the case at all with fluke!). If you know where Point Lookout, NY is, the Capt Al cannot be beat for this fishing. There are also some good boats in Sheepshead Bay (Brooklyn), like the Pilot, Ocean Eagle, and Jet. If you need more info, like directions, phone #s, ect, you can feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I had to come back , I forgot another excellent option, the Reel Challenge in Seaford. It is a charter which runs open on Mon-Wed, first 5 or 6 people who call(516-541-2006).The owner/operator, Tony, is a true gentleman and a **** good fisherman who will take the time to teach novices. Also, its better than the larger boats since there will be only a max 6 people, so he can give more one on one help.Everything you need is supplied (rods, tackle, bait, ice, ect).If you go on 06/12, thats a Wed, I may be there too. If you give Tony a call, tell him Jason gave you his # (that's me!)Hope to see ya !
