    Is It Time For A separate Boats for Hire category

    My opinion: YOU SAID: Replacing the archaic, and illogical "State Fishery Management" model and manage fisheries by bodies of water so Western South Shore fisherman share the same regs as Northern NJ fishermen, all fishermen on LIS, no matter where their boat is tied up share the same regs...

    Bucktails

    For fluke I have been using (most of the time) SPRO bucktails. When I snap jig, I tend to use round head bucktails like Premium Bucktails made by John Paduano. Having seen seminars by Bill “Doc” Muller, he always recommended bucktails with “any color you wanted, as long as it was white”. He...

    Low stock?

    Interesting you picked that one. I guess different people experience different things. Skill? Body of water? Matching the hatch? I have tried Poison Tails and SPRO with silicon skirts. They never worked well for me. Even John Skinners Tsunami teasers. I have tried John Paduano Premium bucktails...

    Low stock?

    I guess that is my point. East Rockaway is an hour and 30 minutes from me. So not sure if I want to drive that far for one bucktail that I can live without. I just came back from my local. He has virtually no SPRO bucktails. Go on the Dicks site and they have no 2OZ Pink SPRO Bucktails. I guess...

    Low stock?

    I got some from Ward Melville. Unfortunately, I missed a few things. I get some of you guys make your own. I rather not deal with hot lead. Some get them from other sources. Unless that guy is close, it just easier to run to a store..

    Low stock?

    I have been going through my stuff. I had a really mangled Pink SPRO 2oz bucktail that had a mangled hook, no hair and missing an eye. I was at my daughter’s and went to the Dicks in Patchogue. They had little on the shelves and could not even get it at Dicks online. I would have thought they...

    Diamond fishhook sharpener

    Yesterday my wife was going to Osprey Dominion for a 5K run/walk. I went to the Port Jefferson fishing show. Al Goldberg was giving a talk, and I sat in on the discussion. Al had a tiny hook sharpener around his neck. He said it was a Diamond fishhook sharpener. I was small with a red handle and...

    Is there viable competition? I mean, if I need a new unit, why not support a brand that is more reputable. After all, these units are not cheap.

    So, there is no solution?

    Titanium Fishing Pliers

    Those are similar to what I currently use. They look like my small bolt cutters. Hopefully I never have to use them. But it pays to be prepared.

    Snapware Square-Grip Canister, 4.4 cups

    I guess the old ones with the “stay on snap lid” are gone. Admittedly they did leak a bit.
