Claimed! I love fishing! I can't believe I had so much fun fishing around. Is that what they call?…read moreFishing around? I love it because I caught some great fish. They're great because they came to my bait! Hubby decided to take me fishing because I never went fishing in my life before. I was super excited! The boat was quite big and they had many people on that sunny day Friday. Hubby introduced me to the Captain, not Captain Jack Sparrow but Captain Steve. He was a great captain! He led the boat to the best areas to catch lots of fish. The entire time Captain Steve steering the wheel, I didn't leave my best spot, which is the front of the boat. Awesome experience not because I'm on the boat (I've been on a boat before) but because I'm going to catch fish! My hope was high and didn't disappoint because I did catch 4 and Hubby caught 6-8, sea bass and porgies, wow! Actually we caught more but we threw them back because they were small. We're on the roll! The crew members led by Chris (I think), were super helpful especially when they found out it was my very first experience fishing out in the ocean. Their duties include helping with the bait, fixing fishing rod, teaching the technique, cleaning the fish, cleaning the boat, securing the boat, talking to me, saving people from trying to jump out of the boat (if this happens), etc. A lot of work right there! I cleaned the fish at home myself because I happen to know how to do it. The captain found some great fishing spots for us to fish. He would move the boat every few minutes if he thinks we could get better luck somewhere else. It's true because we caught the fish at a few different spots from moving around like that. Even when we sat by the front of the boat, we did quite well. Note that usually you get more fish when you sit at the back of the boat, said Hubby. He goes fishing many times, so he knows the secret. After the activity, we went upstairs to take some fresh air, so the crew could clean the entire boat. After this fishing day, I think I could contact Deadliest Catch crew. Maybe I should participate in that catch too. Hmmm, you think? Definitely would do this again. Such a great experience! Amazing scenery and beautiful sunrise! Love love love fishing! I love fish and I never freeze!

First time fishing and almost everyone caught at least one sea bass. The boat itself is ok, the…read morefishing rods are placed very close together so make sure you are near people you know! The mates were pretty helpful in putting the bait on the hooks and they measured each catch to see if they were big enough to keep. The only negative I would say is there is no prior instruction on safety, no clue where the life preservers were located and we could barely hear the captain over the PA. And if you get seasick, as a dozen of us did, dramamine doesn't help and 5 hours on the boat is too long!!

You won't find a better or more dedicated captain and crew anywhere. The regulars are friendly and welcoming. The trips run anywhere from full day fluke to three quarter day sea bass. Tuna season in the canyon is about to begin. This season we go deep sea in 125' of water. I've fished all over Long Island and I always come back to my friends at Capt Lou fleet!

On a quiet day, you can see fish literally jumping out of the water.. how cool is that?! It seems to be quite the interesting park, with activity randomly converging from all directions. You have folks pulling over for a short respite, bikers emerging out of the nearby trail, the occasional lay fisherman near the bridge and boaters loading or unloading for the day. It's really a special slice of calm along the busy Atlantic Ave.

What parks around here sit on the bay with the view of boats and the bay? The bathrooms are open, basketballs, tennis, softball, kids play area, shuffle board, and the park even has the equipment to lend you. There are people fishing in the far end which is nice to watch.

Filled with lotus plants and surrounded by thicket at the north end, the pretty pond has a wooden bridge that was constructed so you can walk out over one side of it. It's a tranquil spot to birdwatch. We spotted 6 black ducks, an as yet to be unidentified sparrow and many swallows as they skim the surface if the pond for insects. I could pass the hours daydreaming by this pond if I had the time. There are a few benches by the pond so you can even bring your food from the nearby Bigelow's Seafood if they are busy (uncover the takeout unless you yearn for limp fried food). A little gem offering mighty respite.

The skip drives the boat out of Freeport into the ocean about 3-4 miles before he tells us to drop our lines. Depending on where the fish are, the skip may move to another area with more fish. Fishing gear and bait are provided. You drop your line to the bottom of the ocean and wait. Besides fluke, you can catch see bass and sea robins. My friend caught an eel when we were above a reef. When the day is sunny, wear shorts, a t-shirt, hat and bring sunscreen. If you get seasick, take Dramamine, otherwise you'd be sick and waste your time on the boat. I've never done this before and I'll definitely come back!
