NY gets little tropical fish every year because the Gulf stream pushes them in and they get stranded but unfortunately most of them do not get large enough to make the trip back. The sheepshead are a yearly resident though. We used to have large numbers of them years ago. NJ still gets a bunch of adults every year. These mangrove snappers are done for though when the water temps drop.

There was an army of needlefish today that were jumping out of ur water after anything you cast out

I saw a video on Japanese tanago about a week ago, dove deep, watched a bunch more and found a 120 off Amazon along with the owner micro rig with the pink float and sighted beads and lead sheet.

Made some bait with an egg yolk and flour and vanilla, put it in a small bag and clipped the corner, took it to my backyard dock on a shallow cove about an hour before high tide, and it worked!

I think it’s a threadfin shad. Approx 7cm
Middle patuxent river, MD USA

I’m hooked, this little guy made my heart skip a beat.

So I have been fishing for a long time, but I recently became interested in micro fishing. My current goal is to find the smallest water to catch small native fish in, so all im asking for is maybe a little advice on how to find spots that could contain them. I am from southeast massachusetts. Thanks!
