Long Island is a densely populated island that extends over 100 miles eastward from Manhattan Island, with a landmass greater than the state of Rhode Island and is the largest/longest island in the continental United States. Bordered basically by the East River to the west; Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound to north and the Atlantic Ocean to the east and south, along with other waters. The southern coast is lined with salt marshes, coves, bays and coastal barrier islands with beautiful wide, white sand beaches. The northern coast and far eastern tip of the south fork have high bluffs that overlook the beaches below. Long Island consists of four counties; Brooklyn/Kings County and Queens County are actually boroughs of New York City, and together with Nassau County, make up the western third of the island, while Suffolk County takes up the eastern two-thirds. Two of New York’s busiest airports are on the Island in Queens County—LaGuardia Airport and JFK International Airport.

The Long Island Railroad that opened up Long Island to its explosive growth in the 19th century, is now the busiest commuter railroad in North America and operates year-round 24/7. Bridges, tunnels and ferries connect Long Island to Manhattan, Staten Island, the Bronx and beyond, with ferries crossing the Long Island Sound to Connecticut and Rhode Island. The Cross Sound Ferry takes passengers and vehicles from Orient Point, Long Island to New London, CT or to Block Island, RI, and The Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Steamboat Comp. takes passengers and vehicles from Port Jefferson, Long Island to Bridgeport, CT. East/West running multi-lane highways carry traffic throughout Long Island along with major north/south arteries. Helicopter travel from Manhattan skyscrapers to local Island airports, such as Montauk on the eastern tip of Long Island’s south fork, is another way to travel while avoiding the traffic below!
Long Island was originally inhabited in the 1600s by a number of Indian tribes, mainly the Matinecock, Rockaway, Merrick, Montauk, Shinnecock, Narragansett, Manhasett, Canarsie and Patcheog—names recognized in towns and villages across Long Island; tribes that spoke dialects of a common Algonquian language, that also inhabited Connecticut. When English and later, Dutch settlers arrived, they began purchasing land for private ownership from these indigenous tribes who didn’t understand the concept, as they expected the land to be shared. The Dutch settlers focused on Manhattan Island and western Long Island in what became Queens and Brooklyn and Nassau County.
Suffolk County remained English and politically connected to Connecticut. Eventually eastern Long Island settlers yielded to pressure from New York and Suffolk County became part of New York State. The Indian tribes, who lived near the shores, traveled by canoe and fished the bounty of seafood in local waters—oysters, crabs, lobster and fish. Fish were used to fertilize farms of corn and other vegetable produce, that the settlers also farmed for sustenance. The settlers also ranched livestock, unlike the Indian tribes, who hunted deer, turkey and other small game. During the Revolutionary War, the British held Long Island after defeating George Washington’s troops and headquartered in Huntington until the war ended in 1783, as they used Long Island as a supply depot for British main headquarters in Manhattan.
In the 1800s, Long Island was still mostly rural and agricultural. As the western end near Manhattan grew more populous, a railroad service was built in 1836 to run in Brooklyn and Queens and was incorporated into the line completed in 1844, that became the Long Island Railroad servicing the eastern part of Long Island. Competing rail lines that were built on the south shore to bring tourists to beaches and shoreline hotels were eventually absorbed into the Long Island Railroad as Branch lines. From the opening of the first railroad service, population growth doubled every 20 years up to 1930, as bridges and tunnels were constructed allowing people from the City and other states to access Long Island by automobile. During America’s “Gilded Age” from about 1870 to 1900, a time of industrial development and rapid economic growth, wealthy industrialists (JP Morgan, William K Vanderbilt, Charles Pratt, Otto H. Kahn, etc.) built huge mansions on country estates on Long Island’s north shore within close proximity to Manhattan.
These towns became known as the “Gold Coast” and solidified as American icons by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel, The Great Gatsby and the film versions that ensued over the years, starring Robert Redford/Mia Farrow in 1974 and in 2013, Leonardo DiCaprio/Carey Mulligan. It was originally a silent film made in 1926 (lost) based on the George Cukor Broadway stage version of that year. Today most, if not all, of the remaining original estates such as Otto Kahn’s “Oheka,” have been restored and repurposed as historical public parks and inns.
World-renowned aviator, Charles Lindberg took off from Long Island’s Roosevelt Field for his historic 1927 solo flight over the Atlantic to Europe in his plane, the “Spirit of Saint Louis.” This amazing feat of aviation helped establish Long Island as an early hub of aviation development in the 20th century. LaGuardia Airport opened in 1939. Mitchel Air Force Base was established during WWII along with military aircraft production by Grumman and Fairchild Aircraft, that continued in Long Island to the Space Age, with contracts for space exploration components and space shuttle vehicles. Eventually production moved out of Long Island and the early airports closed. The huge Roosevelt Field shopping mall was developed on the former Mitchel Air Force Base site. The “GI Bill” benefitted returning WWII veterans with housing incentives and Long Island’s population exploded as housing design was simplified for mass-production to accommodate demand, creating affordable instant suburbs, such as Levittown.
The 21st century has become a time of transition from the “blue-collar” industrial past to a more cultural and high-tech scientific focus with major research labs and universities, such as Cornell University Duck Research Lab, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Research Laboratory, Long Island University, Adelphi University and Stonybrook University. The waterfront towns and villages that had become rundown, particularly on the south shore, underwent a gentrification and transformation process as once again, new wealth invested in waterfront real estate for upscale single family homes, condos and townhomes located near or on the water—some with their own marinas. Waterfront shopping, dining and entertainment districts with parks, attractions and special events to provide family enjoyment, lively nightlife, and recreation were developed to attract area residents and visitors from the City. Marinas and Yacht Clubs, waterfront restaurants, tour and casino cruise lines dot the shorelines as people have taken to the water. Boating has skyrocketed as recreational sport fishing, pleasure boating, coastal and long-distance cruising have become the ultimate summertime pleasures of the Island life!
The East End of Long Island and the Hamptons are renowned for their stunning coastal beauty, luxurious lifestyle, and world-class fishing opportunities. Offshore fishing in this region offers anglers the chance to reel in some impressive catches, from striped bass and bluefish to sharks and tuna. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner looking to experience the thrill of offshore fishing, these top spots will provide an unforgettable adventure.
Often referred to as the “Fishing Capital of the World,” Montauk Point is a prime destination for offshore fishing enthusiasts. The waters around Montauk are teeming with a variety of fish species, making it an ideal spot for both inshore and offshore fishing. The Gulf Stream’s proximity brings in large pelagic species like bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, and mahi-mahi. Additionally, the area is known for its excellent shark fishing, with species such as mako, thresher, and blue sharks frequently caught.
Located about 70-100 miles offshore, the Canyons are a series of underwater valleys that offer some of the best deep-sea fishing on the East Coast. These nutrient-rich waters attract a diverse array of marine life, including bigeye tuna, albacore, swordfish, and marlin. The Hudson Canyon, Wilmington Canyon, and Block Canyon are some of the most popular spots. Anglers often embark on overnight trips to fully experience the fishing potential of these deep waters.
Shinnecock Inlet is a gateway to both inshore and offshore fishing adventures. The waters just offshore are known for their productive fishing grounds, where anglers can target species such as fluke, sea bass, and porgies. For those venturing further out, the offshore waters around Shinnecock Inlet are prime hunting grounds for bluefish, striped bass, and the occasional tuna.
Gardiners Island, located between the North and South Forks of Long Island, offers excellent fishing opportunities. The surrounding waters are rich with striped bass, bluefish, and fluke. Offshore, anglers can find an abundance of species including false albacore, bonito, and even the occasional mahi-mahi. The island’s unique location and diverse marine ecosystem make it a must-visit spot for fishing enthusiasts.
Situated between Fishers Island and Little Gull Island, The Race is known for its strong currents and deep channels, making it a hotspot for big game fishing. The fast-moving waters create an ideal environment for species like striped bass, bluefish, and bonito. Offshore, anglers can target larger species such as bluefin tuna and mako sharks. The Race is a challenging yet rewarding fishing spot that promises an adrenaline-pumping experience.
Check the Weather: Offshore fishing is highly dependent on weather conditions. Always check the forecast and sea conditions before heading out. Coastal Marine Forecasts by Zone – New York, NY (weather.gov)
Use the Right Gear: Make sure you have the appropriate gear for the species you’re targeting. This includes heavy-duty rods, reels, and tackle for big game fish.
Hire a Charter: If you’re new to offshore fishing or unfamiliar with the area, consider hiring a local fishing charter. Experienced captains can provide valuable insights and increase your chances of a successful trip.
Stay Safe: Safety should always be a top priority. Ensure your boat is well-equipped with safety gear, including life jackets, a first-aid kit, and a functioning VHF radio.
You can catch a variety of fish including bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, striped bass, bluefish, and different species of sharks like mako and thresher.
The best time for offshore fishing in the Hamptons is typically from late spring to early fall when the waters are warm, and fish are abundant.
Yes, you need a recreational marine fishing license for saltwater fishing in New York waters. Recreational Marine Fishing Registry – NYSDEC
Always check weather conditions, ensure your boat is equipped with safety gear, and inform someone about your trip details. Using a VHF radio for emergencies is also crucial.
Offshore fishing during winter is less common due to rough sea conditions and lower fish activity, but it is possible with proper preparation and gear.
The East End of Long Island and the Hamptons offer some of the best offshore fishing spots on the East Coast. Whether you’re chasing trophy-sized tuna, battling fierce sharks, or enjoying the thrill of reeling in a striped bass, these waters provide endless opportunities for unforgettable fishing adventures.
