looking for this location and my first post

If I understand...the bug light is just inside the tip of Sandy hook.

Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime.

I assumed Sandy Hook.

The term refers to a type of lighthouse:

"A sparkplug lighthouse, sometimes known as a bug light, is a type of caisson lighthouse so named because of its shape. Generally speaking, a sparkplug lighthouse consists of a three-story living area, with the lantern on top; the whole is then placed upon a concrete or metal caisson. The superstructure was usually prefabricated and then lifted onto the caisson by crane. The classic sparkplug light sits in open water, with only the caisson below it and no dry land, but the term is also applied to lights on land or pierheads that are constructed in the same fashion."

Exactly, there's lots of "bug lights".  Sandy Hook, old Orchard, etc...  I have never heard of one referred to as Kiddie City though.
The cure for everything is salt water: sweat, tears, and the sea.

The Coast Guard station at the hook. Most times all short fish.
Fishing Sandy Hook and anywhere I can get on a boat.




My biggest fear is when I die my wife sells all of my fishing tackle for what she thinks I paid for it!
