Fishing LI sound
 

Considering keeping my boat in the LI sound, as it is closer than Jersey Shore and a heck of alot cheaper. We are looking at Rye NY to keep the boat. Anyone here fish the sound and what's you opinion of it??

Hey regidog,

There are a few of here that fish LI sound. It's just the other end of the sound. I am near Mystic CT - close to Watch Hill RI - the eastern sound, where you are in the Western sound. Its all good fishing.

If you are thinking of keeping your boat in Rye, where are you living - how far will you be from the boat and slip?

Regards

Carl

I'm in northern NJ, bergen County, its about 35 to 40 minutes to Rye, also considered City Island but heard there is a tremendous amount of traffic. Slips are $85 to $120 a foot with showers and utilities at the dock. Boat is a 24 footer. Know of any good places??

I grew up in Bergen county - New Milford -

I also moved to eastern CT - plenty of places here. You are in a tough spot 1-2 hour drive to good water and big $$$$$$$ area

Good luck

Carl

I also fish LI Sound, usually launch in Niantic. Great fishing grounds indeed.
Carl, by any chance do you own "Carl" the Downeaster lobster boat that fishes the Race area?

Hey Bassarama,

That is not my boat. Mine is a '78 wellcraft cuddy named 'PANARU' . Do you tow from New Milford CT to Niantic?

Carl

Yeah I do...with fuel prices going up like this I make sure to get 12 hour fishing trips :sun:

Finally found a place $2600 including winter storage. Alittle further than I wanted but at a $1000 savings against the next best place.

So regidog,

where did you end up?


Carl

Haven't committed but City Island. Its at least 35 minutes from home depending on traffic over the GW bridge. I hate you guys who walk to the end of your street and jump in the boat. I need to move!
