Hook Up In North Bay Shore Ny
Come Monday We’re Just 7 Days Away From NJ Stripers!
With another round of wind, snow, and ice in the region on Thursday, it’s almost hard to believe that our “spring kickoff” will be just seven days away come Monday with the 2021 reopening of striped bass and winter flounder. White perch continue to attract the most attention along New Jersey and Delaware tidal creeks and estuaries, with bloodworms also attracting a bit of attention to some winter holdover stripers of late. Hopefully we see more sunny skies and warmer temperatures in next week’s forecast as anglers gear up for sod bank stripers as of March 1. We have news in this week’s complete video forecast about a February 18th fisheries meeting to discuss commercial and recreational quota allocations in New Jersey, the final figures from the 2020 Striped Bass Bonus Program in New Jersey in terms of total catch, and an update on the 2021 fluke regulations in the Garden State. Plus, if you’ve got a spinning rod or two in need of new guides, join us back at the workbench this week for a little bit of repair work.

Bay Shore, NY 11706. The staff are.amazing. and hook you up with a delicious platter of whatever floats your boat. I always think I'm going to.
What can I say, other than the obvious its February, the quietest month in the Jersey surf. Interestingly, the mild winter has kept some stripers around as dedicated surfsters are still pulling on shorty bass with metals and some clam baits. Remember though, the circle hook mandate for bait fishing is now in effect when bait fishing from the surf or back docks. March 1 is right around the corner with the opening of winter flounder and back bay stripers, so buckle down, the light is at the end of the tunnel!

Boaters who find their way to Northport Harbor will find a laidback Long Island village filled with restaurants, shops, art, history and much more. By Tom Schlichter; Photography by Tom Richardson
I‘m always surprised when boaters tell me that they’ve never been to Northport. After all, this charming village on the North Shore of Long Island is located just 40 miles east of New York City and a lot closer to many Connecticut ports, plus it has so much to offer. Northport’s ability to stay just a little off the beaten path lies in the fact it is exactly that from a boater’s perspective. After entering Huntington Bay from Long Island Sound, you’ll need to veer east into Northport Bay and eventually make your way into the deepest recesses of Northport Harbor to reach the town dock. The route is easier than it sounds, however, and only takes about 15 minutes.
HARBOR TRIO
The largest estuary on Long Island’s North Shore, Northport Bay comprises Huntington Harbor, Lloyd Harbor, Centerport Harbor and Northport Harbor. Entering the complex from Huntington Bay, you’ll see Lloyd Neck to the west and the Coast Guard station at Eatons Neck to the east. Split the distance between them, staying east of the R “8” bell, and you’ll slide right down the throat of Huntington Bay while avoiding the submerged boulders that skirt both shorelines. Due west is Lloyd Harbor, a lovely, quiet anchorage surrounded by wooded shores and teaming with fish. Look east to pick up the G “1” buoy, which marks the entrance to Northport Bay.
STACK ‘EM UP
At this point you can set a course toward the four candy-striped stacks of the LIPA power plant to the east (from Long Island Sound you’ll find that the stacks line up laterally at magnetic north, making them a great aid to navigation). To the north, at the southernmost tip of Eatons Neck, is Sand City, a popular boater’s beach and swimming hangout that was home to a sand-mining operation from 1925 through 1964. The fine sand of Eatons Neck was used to make cement, and much of it can still be found in New York City’s sidewalks and buildings. The plant was destroyed by fire in the 1980s, but there are remaining ruins to be explored on the small island that was once attached to the mainland when mining operations first began.
The sand bottom here is great for anchoring, and the protected cove is a popular spot to overnight. There’s a snack stand on adjacent West Beach, the tip of which is also a bird sanctuary. Just north of Sand City is Price Bend, a hot spot for summer raft-ups. It’s an ideal anchorage, but it can be crowded on weekends. Continuing east, the entrance to Northport Bay is deep (20 feet MLW) and free of hazards. Head toward GC “3” to avoid a small shoal to the south then pick up R “8” off Little Neck Point. To the north lies Duck Island, another great spot to drop the hook and take a dip, but keep at least 300 yards southwest of Duck Island Bluff to avoid the rocky bottom and a shoal that extends east from Winkle Point.
TOWN APPROACH
From R “8” it’s a straight run southeast into Northport Harbor. Stay north and east of the buoy here or you’ll find plenty of rocks and shallows. To port you’ll see magnificent estates, the Northport Yacht Club and several historic ship captain’s homes as you approach the town. You’ll also notice Seymour’s Boat Yard, which offers transient moorings and service. Once a premier Long Island boatbuilding shop, it still uses a marine rail system to haul and launch boats. Just north of Seymour’s is the Northport Town Dock, which offers seven feet MLW and lots of space. Tie-up is free during the day and available on a first- come, first-served basis. From 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., the charge is $20 for any length of time. Overnight is $2 per foot. If you already paid the $20 fee it will be deducted from your nightly total. From the dock it’s a short stroll into downtown Northport and its many shops and restaurants.
Continue south past Bird Island and you’ll eventually reach the upscale Britannia Yachting Center, a “resort marina” that offers transient slips, two restaurants, a pool, service and a host of onsite amenities. So protected is this site that Britannia experienced no boat damage during Long Island’s last three hurricanes, including Super Storm Sandy.
DOWNTOWN DELIGHTS
No matter where you choose to keep your boat on a visit to Northport, pack your appetite, because the village is loaded with dining options, starting with Tim’s Shipwreck Diner, featured in the 1997 film In and Out. Occupying a vintage railroad car that arrived in Northport in 1924, the diner features American fare ranging from blintzes and pancakes to burgers. Sit in the back to soak up the old-timey flavor. Bistro 44 serves sustainable seafood and local produce inspired by the season. Here you’ll find all-natural chicken dishes plus top-quality steaks. The prix-fixe lunch is a nice touch, as is the tapas menu at the bar and the special pre-theater dinner served from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Rockin’ Fish is a hip Main Street option that specializes in fresh, locally sourced seafood, burgers, appetizers and salads. They also have 16 craft brews on tap, as well as a wide array of whiskey blends. Copenhagen Bakery is a must-stop for fresh breads and sweet treats, but also serves breakfast, soups, salads and sandwiches. Other good sandwich shops and gourmet food sources include the Northport Village Gourmet Market and Northport Harbor Deli. To wash down lunch with a cold one, check out Sand City Brewery. The grog is great and you’ll love the festive atmosphere.
SASSY TO CLASSY
There are many more places to eat in Northport, so you’ll need to visit a few times to sample all the options. Spaced between the restaurants as you stroll though town are art galleries, jewelry stores, plus a variety of fun boutiques. The Window Shop carries fine Bulova timepieces and Pandora jewelry. The Jewelry Collection boasts gifts for everyone, with selections ranging from earrings to books. Owner Eileen hand-selects every item on display. Veronica Rayne Boutique is a trendy woman’s shop with designer items ranging from simple to chic. If a gift or something to remember your trip by will make your day, check out Clipper Ship Tea Company. Their staff will help select the perfect brew to soothe your soul. There’s even a great local theater—the John W. Engeman—which features plays, musicals and other live stage performances.
Interested in boatbuilding or local history? The Northport Historical Society and Museum has you covered. In addition to permanent and rotating exhibits, they have a research center and over 4,000 images on file. It’s a five-minute walk from the dock and open daily except for holidays. A bit farther afield is the magnificent Vanderbilt Museum & Planetarium in Centerport. During his extensive world travels aboard his yacht in the early 1900s, millionaire William K. Vanderbilt II collected birds, fish and plants. Many of these items are preserved on the grounds of his sprawling estate.
Finally, not to be overlooked in the Northport area is some mighty fine fishing. Stripers, fluke, blues, porgies, false albacore and blackfish abound here during their respective seasons. The crew at Cow Harbor Bait & Tackle, yet another occupant at Britannia Yacht Center, can point you to the action.
