Anyone Fishing On Long Island?

I caught a few bass last week at a Suffolk county lake. I tried going for stocked trout in Smithtown but there were a few people in all my usual spots.

I was thinking about going to the Nessequa myself (forgive the spelling) but do not want to go where there are other people right now.

I might try surfcasting on the 15th if the beach is still open. I haven't done freshwater in years, will return to it next year when I turn 70 and can do the lifetime thing for that and hunting. (Yes, I am a piker.) But I agree, I don't want to get close to anyone except the wife now.

I hear ya, I turn 70 next year myself (hopefully) what that will afford me here in ct. I don't know, all license are free to 65 and over.
As far as getting close to anyone, I'm not taking any chances, I make my wife wear a mask, a full face mask. ??

Has anyone been doing any fishing with this Coronavirus? I have pretty much been sitting home doing nothing.

I have worked on the boat trailer (a lot of work). I am now waxing the cleaning up the boat (even more work).

I have been sharpening hooks on my bucktails and re-tying new fluke rigs that need it. Using my new bucktails I am tying a few extra rigs. Always seems to be a lot of prep work to do. Glad I have a few extra Tom Teasers and Harvey teasers. Also prepping my John Paduano.

That is for me. I promised a friend I help him clean and wax the outside of the hull of is 23 foot Steiger Craft Miami before it goes in the water. If you're bored, you can come help 😉 . We will give you your own side of the boat to maintain your social distancing.

Thank goodness we got in the Ward Melville show. Some of the stuff I purchased has helped keep my busy and prepping for the first day of fluke.

I just read that they're enforcing 2-people on private fishing boats.

belated April fools ?

Shallow water on d lakes should be pickerel central now

Gotta love the big Riverhead one

Seriously? Where did you read that? So if I have a 17 foot boat I can't fish with 3 people? I can maintain the 6 foot rule!

Guess someone sits off the boat?

No, on the swim platform which I consider ON the boat. 😉

Between forge pond on the peconic with my son nonstop crappie and freshwater mixed bag and the carmens river flyfishinf for trout i havent missed a beat,

I took the kids to Belmont lake last Thursday. Caught 2 brown and 1 rainbow. Killed about 2-3 hours (to get them out of my wife’s hair, lol)
Have a small lake near the house I might try tomorrow. Other than that I’m waiting for April 15th to hit the beach!

But so far so good in NY, possibly because at this point closing all the parks won't accomplish much with 5500 dead already. If COVID-19 only impacted the Darwin Award participants.... Still hoping to cast a bit on the 15th...
