Kind of in the middle.
You will want to head mostly east and south to get away from more people than you are used to. Fire Island National Seashore can provide for Blues and Stripers near the inlets. Surf gear is used, but the rigs you have for shore fishing sturgeon will work.
There are a lot of piers on LI. your standard bass rigs will work on them for Mackeral, Pogies, Toutaug and other pan type fish. Rigs are available locally and shrimp and blood worms are preferred baits.
There are piers on Jones Beach, just south of Melville, Captree state park, a little farther east.
