The East River is not a freshwater river or a river at all. It is a waterway that connects the Long Island sound to the Atlantic Ocean.
So the gear that I use would be comparable to big Muskie fishing. The rods used are in the 6-7 foot range medium to heavy gear. The line test about 20 lbs. Local shops would be. With Peace token the most helpful http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=tac...4167005723
The fish you can catch are bluefish, striped bass using plugs or bunker bait.
The others that I have caught include, summer flounder fluke, mackerel and I have seen Tautog and Porgy caught as well.
The times would be incoming or out going tide. The locations on the island would be the very tip of the island. Other locations would be the Pier in Greenpoint Brooklyn on India street or at Costco parking lot in Queens.
No license needed for saltwater in nys.
Good luck.
