There are many advantages to living in the towns and villages of Long Island’s South Shore. There are abundant beaches and marinas as well as national, state and town parks.
One of the wonderful recreational activities on Long Island is fishing.
Many towns have piers or docks for the casual fisherman.
There is also the fishing fleet with boats for charter at Captree State Park, in the town of Babylon.
Captree is a fisherman's paradise and a place to take the family.
The park features a boat basin with charter boats available for fishing and sightseeing.
It has fishing piers where families can share this outdoor activity and a picnic area and snack bar/restaurant if you would like to buy something to eat.
Some of the fishing boats stay in the Great South Bay and others go out the Fire Island Inlet into the Atlantic Ocean.
Whether you are experienced fisherman or a novice, there is a boat for you.
There are half or full day boats charters to suit your needs and budget.
Be sure to check out the schedules and prices before making plans.
There are a variety of fish running in the bay and ocean off Long Island.
In April and May you can fish for flounder; April through December, striped bass and May untill September, fluke.
Directions: Take the Robert Moses Parkway South. At the end of the Robert Moses, head east following the signs. As with any state park, there is a parking fee; if you have a New York State Empire Pass the parking fee is waived.
All of this is available to you on Long Island!
