		<description><![CDATA[I went down to the dock at the end of Foster Avenue in Sayville for lunch and was surprised to see a lot of people fishing—in the pouring rain. Now fishermen are as dedicated as golfers when it comes to their sport, so it takes more than a little rain to keep a good fisherman [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Long Island dogfish and skate are generally thought of as junk. They ruin the fisherman’s day and are thrown back in disgust. Because these fish are meaty, tasty, and boneless they are actually very good to eat and really don’t deserve their junk status. If we had a better appreciation for these fish we’d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Great South Bay is one of Long Island’s magnificent summertime playgrounds. A haven for boaters, bathers, and sport fishermen. A source of endless fascination for kids. And in the biting cold of winter, a place for coffee and contemplation near the water’s edge. Read more and see pictures of Long Island&#8217;s Great South Bay.]]></description>

On Thursday I was lucky enough to catch a sun dog. That&#8217;s the bright little rainbow to the left of the sun near the seagull. Sun dogs are caused by ice crystals in [...]]]></description>

Not so easy this time&#8230; It&#8217;s been cold on Long Island! We&#8217;ve had a few days above freezing, but the nights [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took a ride to the Fire Island Lighthouse over the weekend and was surprised to see how much beach we lost already this winter. Staff at the lighthouse reported that 2 unbroken lighthouse bulbs from the 1940&#8242;s were exposed from the eroding dune face and donated to the museum by the finder. I think [...]]]></description>

Sun pillars are caused by falling ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Here the sun is below the horizon and the pillar is the vertical stripe to the right of center. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Snapper fishing on Long Island has definitely past it&#8217;s peak, but I&#8217;d thought I&#8217;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. [...]]]></description>
