Had the same out of Sandy on Saturday - marked constant bait and active marks from 100 to 120 fow from north of mouth to Braddocks. Conditions were perfect but we only picked at them, managed 5 of 8 (skipper kings and average lakers).
There is no dove hunting season in NY - http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/59626.html
I don't know if that means you aren't supposed to hunt them though. Could just as easily mean you can hunt them and there's no regulation to it.
Anybody know?
