What is the agreement with NY for salt water fishing? I have heard that its only in LIS. Then I've been told that not on the south side of Fishers Island. Any intel would be appriciated.
"Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions."
"Great fishermen are not born that way.....They become so through a lifetime of neglecting other things in their lives."
"Don't try to explain it. Just nod your head. Breathe in. Breathe out. Move on.

From NY's website:
Are there any reciprocal license agreements with other states where marine waters form boundaries with other states?
Yes. If a state sharing a marine water boundary with New York has an active marine license** program and grants New York recreational marine fishing license holders fishing privileges in that state's portion of the boundary water(s), then New York grants the appropriately licensed anglers from that state the privilege to fish in the New York portion of the boundary water(s) without securing a New York recreational marine fishing license. The following waters are included in this reciprocal agreement:
* Connecticut: those parts of Long Island Sound lying between New York and Connecticut
I have heard that this year NY is going to crack down on licenses, last year they mainly just gave warnings. Its easy to get the license I got mine online and my father used the phone. If you get it online you can carry the print out until it comes in the mail and by phone they give you a number to use until it comes in the mail. They say it will take 7-10 days but I got mine in 6 days and my fathers took 5 days.
You can't make anything foolproof because fools are ingenious
