    On the board

    Outstanding. Way to go Vinny! Reports I have gotten out east are water temps still too cold by me. But it sure looks like the bite has really started back to the west.

    Well done, Whatnot! Those are certainly POE Rowboats with their distinctive red circle logo. And I can see the Orient Lighthouse in the background on the first photo. I can't recall if this predated or came after the overhead rail system. However, you encouraged me to do a quick internet search...

    Those are classy and very functional rails! I bet the welds were so neat you would think the connection to the stanchions were one piece!

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    Over the years I fished Petty's I would observe the numbers of boats working the area vary a lot. As you mentioned sometimes it would be almost a ghost town and other times a small fleet including most of the local Charter boats would all be scoring well. Then, in less than a 2-year period (I...

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    Man, I would give anything to have a photo or two of that old contraption. Basically, it was an overhead Rail system attached to a flatbed surface upon which they would use a forklift to load the rowboat with all your gear already stowed. Then you would climb in and a good push plus the force of...

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    Thaks, Roccus, for the extra background history on Hinckley, some of which I did already know and some that is new to me. No doubt that Hinckley builds a very high-quality craft and I am also sure that during some of your earliest experiences with them they took care of your needs just l like a...

    This is scary. What would you have done differently.

    Personally, I don't think anyone was questioning his angling skills or work ethic, or what he has given back to the sport. My point was that sometimes people who are every experienced wind up taking chances that they should not and that not only gets them in trouble but perhaps something much...

    Gave it a shot.

    You got some exercise and a nice invigorating day by the water. When the fish do arrive my money is on you to catch them, Kevin, Sounds like a good time to me!

    I probably have as much experience as almost anyone on this board when it comes to POE. Started out renting rowboats with my dad back in the early 60's. At that time, they not only rented boats for fishing in Peconic Bay but a little later on they even set up a "substation" at Orient point and...

    Congrtulations! Wow, what a monster; and still retains most of its color. Any dimensions?

    Finally, the "Perfect" Tide Clock...

    Ditto your comments, Chinacat. Pemaquid remains my favorite ME lighthouse, hands down! I am also impressed at the attention to detail the folks at NexTide exhibit. Still love and rely on my own piece. But I am a bit torn over loyalty. I purchased the Montauk version, but have it set to Plum...

    This is scary. What would you have done differently.

    I agree with you completely, John. I don't think anyone denies J.S's ability as a top-notch angler. I suspect very few of us could have hooked, fought, and held on to what had to be a Tarpon of well over 100# on that tackle and from a kayak, no less. What concerns me is that far too may...
