Bayrat, I too am a new Long Island fisherman. I've found the NY Bass forum a local forum thats very helpful, good luck!

Nybass is a great source of info for the island. For a canoe there are alot of very good places. Forge pond, peconic river, ronkonkama and many others. Go on the nysdec website and you can pull up lake maps and info on all the long island lakes.

whats up bro..i live here on longisland and im pretty sure i can help out a bit being a local to Nassau county.. twin lakes in wantagh (exit w5w off wantagh pkwy) is an extremely great place to fish mill pond..in wantagh is decent but you cant use boats..hempstead state park is about 160 plus acres you can use a canoe there and in fact i would advise you to do so..others are massapequa lake and massapequa resevior..my favorite place to fish is the twin lakes im there at least 3 times a week on a good week but try to make it there at least once a week..it has largemouth and smallmouth, carp, catfish, sunfish, american eel, chain pickerel even when it seems like a quiet day you can easily catch bluegills without trying,..its pretty popular spot but its never overcrowded same fisherman there all the time with plenty of knowledge of the lakes if you go just ask some fishermen for advice wed be happy to share some important tips youll need to know.. hope this helps good luck !
