[quote name='JoeCT' post='18528' date='Apr 21 2010, 02:41 PM']Is the squid fishing off of Greenport usually decent? I keep my boat in CT and I'm thinking about making the run over there. Is it possible to anchor up by the docks and catch squid from a boat?[/quote]
The squid fishing has been terrible in Greenport the last two years. But the two years before that were outstanding. So who knows what this year will bring.
Yes, some boats come and anchor off of the docks. You just need to be careful not to anchor in the path of the Shelter Island ferry! But I've definitely seen boats drop anchor and use underwater lights and/or their spreader lights. The public marina in Greenport is usually empty at this time so you might even be able to just pop into a slip, hop out and squid off the dock if you wanted. Don't quote me on that though...
