Snapper Fishing on Long Island
Snapper fishing on Long Island has definitely past it’s peak, but I’d thought I’d post this anyway.
Every year near the end of August the snappers start feeding heavily before they venture out into the ocean to migrate. These fish are lean, mean, eating machines and that makes them a lot of fun to catch. They’re also very good eating.
Snapper fishing usually peaks around end of August, beginning of September. They’re still out there now, it’s just taking longer and longer to fill the bucket. If you have the patience you can still catch enough for dinner before the day is over.
If want to try your hand at this popular long Island sport have a look at my guide to snapper fishing, filleting, and cooking (with pictures and a video).
Enjoy!
Now the striped bass are out - check out my son’s catch (he’s 9) at Smith Point at http://www.masticbeach.blogspot.com - the conditions were right with a full moon. What a rush!
