JoeGBreezy Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hardly a spot burn. In the book 100 Best Stiper Spots, FD lists Breezy. I suspect the info is all based on the Jetty performance in the 1980's when it was over the top fishing. Now it's random and the jetty is about 100 yards shorter, not to mention that the Feds sell 500 4X4 Gateway passes and another few hundred overnight parking passes, all coming with instructions regarding where to park, drive and fish. Anyway the Mallomars would be a good start but truth serum ( AKA Beer / Boose ) goes a longer way and loosens up the tongue. You may get some really good SS info.

AMMO Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Every year, without fail, the newspapers have a story with pictures) of some jerks being rescued from the Breezy Point jetty by the Coast Guard. You are supposed to fish OUTGOING water at the mouth of any inlet. These guys fished incoming water, and the middle of the jetty became submerged. How do you keep a spot secret, that is in the newspapers every year? ><))))))))))@> *AMMODYTE* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook I Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Is Smith's Point a spot burn ? Considering a lot of fisherman forget / loose their fishing equipment there . If it has fins i want to catch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMO Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 How can "Smith Point" be a spotburn, when it is the first location mentioned in the permit information at the top of this page? You mean SOL is a spotburner? I find that difficult to believe. ><))))))))))@> *AMMODYTE* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that book and have every one of Frank Daignault's books but as you said the relative "hotness" of many of the spots mentioned in that book are dated and they're a mere shadow of themselves today. <p><p></p></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBreezy Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Darter Man To your point many are dated. One listed in Ct is the dam up near Enfield which is right off the highway. Not sure w/o looking it up but I think May was supposed to be prime. Anyway I'm driving by and decide to check it out with my jacket and tie on. 1/2 mile east of the highway, left then left onto a dirt road to the parking area and river edge...now that's a spotburn ! The water was moving so fast and the rapids so big I would bet nothing short of Godzilla could make headway in that water. Like class ten rapids if there was such a thing. So it's not just the spot. It's everything else too, all of which comes to timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblemaker Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Never the less weather a spot burn or not. I don't care how many of u have been fishing that jetty. In any event I have most likely know more than most of you by face. As well as u might know mine. I have been in that jetty since I was about 17 years old. It is can get hairy on there. Know the water and when u can push out and when u can't. And it would be smart to wear a P.F.D and a waterproof strive light in the event u get swept off and if u have a I phone or any other phone compatible with a waterproof case that would be smart. As for catching fish figure it out yourself go fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBreezy Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Treblemaker nailed it. This is one very dangerous jetty when conditions kick up. Incoming on a SE wind is generally as bad as it can be on those rocks. Watch the JS videos on jetties and rockpiles. He's wearing a PFD and safety light and he is about experienced as it gets. There are more rescues off this jetty every year than you have fingers. I like the sand myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBM Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I remember Frank Keating writing about the Breezy Point jetty forty years ago in the old Long Island Press (not the current paper of that name.) There is no spot less capable of being burned then that one. The last time I looked the midsection of the jetty was distinctly lower then the end, which is one of the features that got people in trouble. Is that still the case?

anthonyhobie Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I fished that jetty twice both times I never went pass the middle the first time the guys were stuck there but they knew it and was going to fish the outgoing if the weather would have pick up they would have been in trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower post Sandy than before, just past the "pointed shape" rock. You'll know it when you look. I have not been past that spot since I was sixteen years old. As a spot burn it's like trying to burn the T-Jetty "down at the shaw" or the Rips at "The Hook" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblemaker Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 that rock sucks it really does. sandy also took the mid section in front of light out. there is a nice whole there you have to get down in it then scale back up. some of the rocks are shifting when water hits them.
