Upcoming Events
Aside from the obvious spring and summer paddles, I usually try to get in a few
good tours in my kayak during the week between Christmas and New Year's.
Here is a list of some times of the seasons to look forward to on Shelter Island:
BLUEFISH AND STRIPER FISHING BY KAYAK: 05.15.07 to 06.30.07
Head down to Menhaden Lane and fish for bluefish and stripers by kayak around
sunset. A guaranteed catch! But stay far enough out past the surf casters if you
know what's good for ya'.
