Long Beach, New York Fishing Page |
Long Beach has always been a great place for fishing. Admittedly, it may not be what it once was, but plenty of fish have been caught in it's waters. Prior to 1849, when the first Life Saving Service station was built, fishermen were the only residents. Although we never had a big fleet of party boats, save for the Commodore and a few others, plenty of boats from Point Lookout, Freeport and Captree fish the surrounding waters, so those photos are included here. Many of these were sent to me by Capt. Sam Schwarzman and Vinny Rossi, but I know there must be plenty more in your attics ! Email them to me !! Thanks ! WARNING !!! Some of these photos are bloody !! If the sight of blood bothers you, go no further !! You have been warned ! |

Tile fish in the Hudson Canyon. For many years no one fished 100 miles offshore at the canyon, which let these fish grow to great sizes. Fishing depths ranged from 600 to over 1000 ft. submitted by Sam Schwarzman |
