I also am in te long island sound area and,in a pinch, the only thing I could catch would be sea robins (not very tastey but edible). <br>I agree with Chris. These kits are designed to supply the unobtainable items. You must keep in mind that the items included in any PSK are supposed to be the basis for expounding upon and not everything you will ever need. More important than what equipment you carry is the knowledge you have.<br>-Don
