Thanks for the reply Dave, the Hamptons are out on Long Island.
Carons,
You don't have to drive very far at all to get into some of the best fishing in the eastern US. Shinnecock bay is right there and will provide some great flounder fishing from your yak. The bays to the north are also good, Paconic, Flanders and Sag Harbor. On the incoming tide at Shinnecock you will have Stripers and Bluefish to target. Up the island a bit is Montauk, home to several world records and some fantastic fishing as it is where the Gulf stream slams into the shore and carries many warmer water fish north.
Many of LI's beaches are public and there should be ample places to launch a yak.
While you are there be sure to take at least one trip off shore on a charter or head boat. The summer sees one of the best tuna runs in the east coast.
I know it's a way off, but please post up results in the Kayak page, kind of dead over there.
