Hello All!
Be sure to listen is on our current podcast as I rant about the 3 fish bag on tog in the sound! I also give my thoughts on the beach homeowners in Amagansett as they slowly but surely get their way over NY anglers! Also, there are tons of bass around but where are all of the slot...
There's been a good bit of interest in members upgrading, or "up-dressing" their smaller spinning reels to something along the lines of my hopped-up Daiwa Ballistic LT2500D. Just today I received three inquires for a how to article.
Apparently I struck a cord with pix such as this:
I have to...
New York Fishing Regulations for 2021 will not see many changes in seasons and bag limits. There is a mandatory circle hook requirement being enacted to all coastal states using bait for striped bass. The details have yet to be hammered out.
I'd like to thank John and the NYSDEC for doing this...

Am I Fishing for Stripers or Largemouth Bass?
NY Angler regulars know me and my “eccentricities”, but for those of you unfamiliar with me, my NYA handle is Roccus7 and I live and fish along Maine’s magnificent Midcoast. I cut my teeth on striper fishing on LI’s North Shore from Stony Brook to...
Penn Battle II SW Coming to your local tackle shop VERY shortly.
Spoke with John at Trophy Tackle about this one. He thinks Penn will clean up with this new Penn Battle III SW $100 reel. I agree. Metal body and the aluminum main/bronze pinion gears out of the more expensive Clash II/Spinfisher...
I've been in the fishing media business for decades and I have never seen so many sharks close to the beach in our waters. There was a confirmed bull shark caught off of Fire Island beach and a confirmed white shark, which grabbed a fluke, less than 1/2 mile off the beach. I personally have seen...

At Ponquogue it went from lights-out fishing to slim pickings, then back to a solid bite again - with a little chaos mixed in - all in a span of about 5 days. How's that for a report? I'll call it hit-or-miss. The fishing was great until a surge of newbies and out-of-towners arrived and really...
Here is a case where an organized and united group of anglers and the industry could influence the state/feds to open up tackle shops. I'm sorry if a liquor store is considered "essential" than so is the tackle shop. How many DWI's will a tackle shop cause? What anglers enjoy fishing right next...
