Smallmouth Bass
While Largemouth Bass are more common in the immediate vicinity of Mineola, finding Smallmouth Bass requires a bit more travel towards the northern parts of Long Island or venturing into the rivers of upstate New York. While not a prime Smallmouth destination, the tidal portions of the Nissequogue River, accessible with a bit of a drive, hold a small population of smallmouth that have migrated in from the Long Island Sound. Spring and fall offer the best chances, focusing on rocky areas and current breaks. Small jigs, crankbaits, and tubes are effective. Be mindful of the tide, as the smallmouth tend to be more active during moving water. Access to the Nissequogue is available at several parks along the river, but check local regulations regarding permits and access restrictions. The Smallmouth population here is limited, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
