East River Fishing. Manhattan NYC Pier Fishing With Shrimp

[@yougoonie3338]

It's so nice to see these types of fishes & sea plants coming back deeper into the East River. I recall during lock downs dolphins even ventured into the East River.

[@BobAquatic]

@@yougoonie3338 thank you for watching yougoonie3338 . I’ve seen the dolphin in the lower part of the river but they go deep into the bays too and I’m sure will chase fish in the northern part of the river if given the opportunity. Lot of life out there

What kind of dolphins, bottlenose?

Liked your video but! Come to nyc to fish for sea bass? Not a chance. I can’t even stand flying over nyc at 30,000 feet. It’s still too close. I tell the pilot to go around and avoid it completely.

[@BobAquatic]

@@danb.9700 for sure! I switched to 12lb pretty quickly into this video but will usually not go lower than that on the east river. Too much junk, your line gets nicked up pretty quickly.

The first pier you’re on is my go to because I live a block away from it. I’ve never had much luck catching anything late in the day there. The best time to fish that pier is early morning, I’ve caught big toutog from that pier usually in the morning before 10am. By 11am it’s dead. Right up under the Manhattan Bridge is a big school of young Black Sea Bass, i always catch at least half a dozen there every time I fish that spot. Have to cross the bridge and try out that spot in Brooklyn where you were at. Great videos I’m enjoying the tips.

[@BobAquatic]
