Whether you're an avid angler or just learning how to bait a hook, you can fish for free this weekend across New York State, including on Long Island.Â
On Saturday and Sunday, fisherman and women throughout the area may fish without a license.Â
Saltwater anglers may also fish in marine waters or for migratory marine fish species without enrolling in the Recreational Marine Fishing Registry.
Long Island’s waterways are home to striped bass and Northern Kingfish, amongst others.
