Welcome aboard.
The bay is humungous and you'll find thousands of places to fish, and dozens of ways to fish. Depends a lot on where on the bay you'll be.
You can have some fun at Beachwood Park catching White and Yellow Perch, Pickerel and Bluegill on a fly rod, spinning rod, or just floating a minnow under a bobber. That's on the western shore way up in the Magothy River.
You could book a preseason charter to troll for big Stripers.
