NYDN Home?CollectionsKenney: Plenty of fish still in the seaALEXANDRA KENNEYThursday, November 22, 2012Welcome to the season for holidays and hibernating. Various plans for rebuilding our area’s hurricane-damaged shores are being discussed or are even under way. And in a couple of months the marine industry will launch its showbiz schedules as planned.
So anglers, don’t be discouraged from enjoying our first-rate saltwater and freshwater fishing. Remember it’s peak season for blackfish and striped bass. Check with party boat captains for cold-weather schedules. Some switch to res-only charter bookings. A hardy few fish year-round. You might also head to Wakefield. R.I., to board one of the cod-capturing Island Current boats wintering at Snug Harbor Marina.
Freshwater fans are reminded that trout stocking programs are now underway, especially on Long Island and throughout New Jersey. That means the trout are big and hungry.
In terms of a progress update, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have all posted have all posted helpful Hurricane Sandy updates on their fish and game websites. The U.S. Department of Commerce recently approved New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s request for a federal fishery resource disaster declaration which will trigger coordinated federal efforts to help rebuild decimated fishing industries in both New Jersey and New York.
Plus the Army Corps of Engineers has begun working to close storm-caused breaches on the east and west sides of Long Island’s Moriches Inlet. So rebuilding progress is being made.
This weekend’s nautical notes include a Fishermen’s Flea Market on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus building, 400 Broadway, in Lindenhurst, L.I.
