Citing DEC “monitoring surveys,” the governor’s office noted an increase in fishing activity since the Artificial Reef Initiative began last year – including a single-day combined vessel count of 369 boats at the program’s numerous reef sites, “nearly twice the prior daily high vessel count.”
It’s a parking lot out their now and most of the fish are throwbacks it’s not enjoyable anymore having to move the boat in the middle of a drift or yelling at another boat who is drifting when your anchored. Glad I got a few spots / coordinates that’s not published and shared with only a few. My favorite line when a boat comes over to us now is no were not fishing now were just anchored here having lunch and a drink.
