Gone Fish­ing: Gov­er­nors Island makes room for fish­er­men and women

Jun 24, 2008 4:16 pm
This sum­mer marks the first sea­son that Gov­er­nors Island has opened its shores to peo­ple inter­est­ed in fish­ing. There are many loca­tions open for the sport in all bor­oughs of New York City, but none are quite like ours. This Island boasts views of Man­hat­tan’s sky­line, and the Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty, like no where else on land. Also, as we are at the foot of Man­hat­tan’s Bat­tery, we sit right at the inter­sec­tion of both the East Riv­er, and the Hud­son Riv­er. Along our shores are both churn­ing tides, and calm waters, where fish are sure to con­gre­gate. So come out to Gov­er­nors Island with your fish­ing pole and gear, and enjoy a nice day on the water, look­ing over at the Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty, the Man­hat­tan sky­line, and Ellis Island! [gallery]
