Falvey’s Guide to Fishing Long Island By Kevin Falvey
We’d give props to Kevin Falvey’s book even if we didn’t work with him. We give him props because we’ve fished with him in the exact waters this book covers, and he knows his stuff. Falvey takes you through the fabled waters of Long Island on a chapter-by-chapter basis, explaining why specific species of gamefish bite, how to target them, and how their bite is affected by seasons, tides, and currents, as well as by things only a veteran can know. At the end of each chapter he provides a checklist for targeting all the different fish, and provides charts that show you where to catch them.
