SUMMER GUIDE Issue No. 4
Live Like a Local Let us find your destination
Live Like a Local So You Want To Buy A Beach House? This week we’re featuring the joys of living on the water! We live on an island, so take a look at the many waterfront options available to you. It’s time to live and play at the shore’s edge! Beach and waterfront homes come in all shapes and sizes. Your options range from quaint coastal cottages to adorable beach bungalows, or maybe you’d prefer the modern condo or a mansion on the ocean. While they all differ greatly in price and size, they all have the ability to instantly transport you to the calming water and give you a peaceful, joyous feeling. From the century old Grande Dames and the ship captains’ home, to the brand new “green” homes, the architecturally elegant to the cozy casual dwelling, your Signature Agent can help you find exactly what you are looking for. So many of us long for the relaxed comfy beach home, able to withstand sandy feet, wet bathing suits, and breaking of bread with your many family and friends. Throw a classic lobster bake! Nothing beats dinner at dusk with a bonfire and s’mores to end the perfect beach day! Beach and waterfront living also allows you to have an active lifestyle. Wake to a morning java on your porch, stroll the beach looking for that special piece of sea glass, or watch the kids as they fish and crab from the dock. Having the water at your fingertips is priceless. The salty warm breeze, the shimmering light as the sun dances across the water, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore will be all you need to feel the magic of life on the water. We encourage you to get out and explore our lovely coastal communities, be transformed to another place, and call one of our Signature Agents to show you how to LIVE LIKE A LOCAL. You never know, you just might fall in love with a new destination you want to call home. We hope you enjoyed this issue of LIVE LIKE A LOCAL. Each week we will spotlight some amazing ways to enjoy your summer. Until Next Time, Pete, Kathy and your Signature Team

SUMMER FISHING REPORT FROM OUR CAPTAIN Here’s the scoop from our expert fisherman, Peter Morris on what’s biting out in the waters on the North Shore - Cold Spring Harbor and Huntington. Nice bass are being chunked in Cold Spring Harbor and Huntington. My suggestion would be Buoy 15 off Lloyd Point fishing the ledges with fresh bunker chunks. Finding bait has been a problem but over the past week nice schools of bunker have finally invaded our harbors. There are also some bluefish around with more and more coming in daily. The fluke bite has been picky with keepers tough to come by. There are plenty of shorts around Lloyd Point and Sand City. There are doormats out there though, you just need to fish deep water and big baits. The ledges by Buoy 15, the OB buoy, and Oyster Bay in front of Sewanaka are all producing. There a lot of big dogfish in these waters as well that are causing havoc on fluke rigs. The porgy bite is just amazing with large scup all over the place. All of the party boats from City Island are making the trip here to capitalize on the bite. Eatons Neck, Center Island Reef, and Target Rock would be the spots to work. There is also a nice bycatch of large seabass and a couple weakfish lurking around. The shores of Cold Spring Harbor are loaded with schoolie bass up to 25 inches. Just cast 3 inch rubber shads or one ounce spros along any beach from Laurel Hollow to Oyster Bay and you will have action. Peter Morris Founder & Co-Owner The weather this weekend looks good so go Signature Premier enjoy some great North Shore fishing. Properties
