thats where I trailer my boat to...Stony Brook(LI) ramp into stony brook harbor, into Smithtown Bay of Long Island Sound and around Cranes neck to the mouth of flax pond on the outgoing tide with either squid/spearing for bait or live killiefish.
I find the real big fluke filets need to be sliced thin, in half almost like making 2 filets outta 1 or they dont cook right if they are too thick...
have you had Blackfish? my uncle John would say ‘dey sweet’
Never had Blackfish - I heard they are good - but tricky to catch - darn nibblers.....
