For the past half dozen seasons its been more commonplace to catch them while fishing for tog near shore... but not from shore. Like Toby mentioned there was a time long ago when we targeted them from shore - best months were always late February through March. Quonny beach in south county, Sachuest Point in Middletown were the most popular locations. All nighttime action - fishing clams or squid on the bottom. My late casting partner Zeke Silva's largest surf fish for many years was a 41 pound cod from Sachuest. When he hooked it we thought he surely had an early cow bass. Nothing like illuminating a large cod in the wash with your neck light. Most fish were market size - under 10 lbs.
