Little Neck, Bay is a great area to fish and is perfect for a kayak. The whole bay isn't more than 10 feet deep anywhere. Its shallow water's warm early in the Spring making it one of the areas where stripers make their first appearance in the region. During the summer months the bay always holds bait and Blues and Bass are always close by. A short paddle will put you in the back of the bay where its very shallow and it seems to be where a lot of best fishing takes place.

The directions below are to park on other side of Cross Island Parkway and wheel your kayak over the overpass, however before May 10th (best time to fish here anyway) you can park right next to the ramp, which is off the Pkwy in the parking lot for the marina. DATES CAN CHANGE-SO ASK BECAUSE IF THINGS HAVE CHANGED YOU WILL BE TOWED! ! There is a nice boat ramp to launch from, but it does not see much action from boats because of the shallow water near it. If you paddle straight across to the opposite side of bay from ramp you'll find some great fishing along the shoreline. I always troll around until I locate the fish and then I work that are a, this technique has worked for me in past. DIRECTIONS: From the Bronx, take either the Whitestone or Throngs Neck Bridge to the "Cross Island Parkway - SOUTH" ... coming from Long Island, take "Cross Island Parkway - NORTH. " Get off at "NORTHERN BLVD. - WEST" and continue about 112 mile to BELL BLVD. make a RIGHT (NORTH) on Bell and continue to 28th Ave. turn RIGHI' (EAST) to the end. WATCH THE SIGNS there is plenty of parking, but not the last 100 feet or so. Parking rules are plainly marked and rigorously enforced. Just park and walk over the footbridge.
