Autumn Jean Markle with a Sea Robin she caught on her Barbie doll fishing pole

Pictured here is 6 year old Autumn Jean Markle from Center Moriches. On July 8, 2008 while fishing in the Great South Bay she caught this Sea Robin on her Barbie doll fishing pole using a green jig. As far a sea robins go this would be considered a reasonable large specimen.

There are two species of Sea Robins found in the coastal waters of NY they are the northern or common sea robin and the striped sea robin. They may grow to 18 inches in length but, most are under a foot in length. Even though they are edible Sea Robins are not important as commercially viable species.

Most people catch sea robins when they are fishing for fluke. When you catch one, it makes a croaking noise much like that of a frog. The sea robin will feed on shrimps, mollusks, sand worms, crabs, squids, herring, menhaden and most anything it can get in its mouth. They also are in turn feed on by blue fish and striped bass.

Fishing The Great South Bay

The Great South Bay is roughly 64,000 acres in size, it is located about 37 miles east of NYC on the south shore of Long Island and is south of Oyster Bay. The area comprising Great South Bay incudes all of the salt marsh islands, Fire Island barrier islands, and Fire Island Inlet. The fishing here has recently started to get a lot of attention because of the high gas prices people aren't driving all the way to Montauk. When fishing this region some of the fish species you may encounter include Fluke, Flounder, Stripers, Weakfish, Bluefish, Bonito, Spanish Mackerel, Tautog, and Seabass.
