Photographed this image while heading out of Manhassett Bay which is located on the north shore of Long Island in New York, aboard a charter fishing boat for some bluefishing in the Long Island Sound on an early summer morning. As the charter boat began to cut its engines as we reached our destination I turned around and grabbed my camera and saw our wake begin to catch up to us and the sight of the early morning sunrise just coming over the trees in Manhasset Bay. I saw my fishing pole in it's holder and decided to leave it in the photo for that nautical fishing effect as the sun began to rise and reflect off of the Long Island Sound. Great start to a great day of fishing for blues. Manhasset Bay, New York, is an embayment in western Long Island off Long Island Sound. Manhasset Bay forms the northeastern boundary of the Great Neck Peninsula and the southwestern boundary of Cow Neck (Port Washington Peninsula or Manhasset Neck). On the north side of the bay there are three points, Barker Point at the entrance, Plum Point coming the furthest into the Bay, and Tom's Point in the back bay. On the other side, Hewlett Point forms the entrance nearly a mile from Barker Point.[1] Hart Island lies in the Sound just outside the mouth of Manhasset Bay.
The Manhasset Bay area was first inhabited in the 17th century by the Matinecook tribe of Algonquin Indians.[2] Then the Dutch and the English settled around the bay in the 17th century because of the proximity of fish. The Bay was called Schout's Bay by the Dutch, and then Howe's Bay by the English.[3] Subsequently, due to the presence of cattle raising, it came to be called Cow Bay, and the local neck, to the northeast, "Cow Neck". It finally became Manhasset Bay in 1907.
In the 1920s it began to switch from the cow-and-fish industry to support services for commercial boating[3], as it is considered to be one of the best harbors on Long Island Sound with little tidal current except at the entrance and average tidal displacement of only six feet.[4] By the 1980s it was full of marinas and yacht clubs. The Sands Point Seaplane Base on Manhasset Bay was at one time the main airport for passenger service between New York and Europe. At the beginning of the 21st century, it had about 16% of all the marinas and yacht clubs in the whole of Long Island Sound.
