Pequa1, I stick to one table app and just work off that one. Tides Near Me. I don't think it matters which inlet. (I could be wrong). Tides Near Me does not seem to have a Lindenhurst tide station. Are you sure you are looking at Lindenhurst, NY? The high tide of all your mentioned locations...

That's kind of you George. I think NY Angler has all types of unique information being shared by a great group of talented guys. It's probably one of the most respectful peer to peer sites I have been involved with. From you as the Administrator, the moderators, the members and the talent like...

Let us know what you find and figure out.

I'm happy if it helps. It's confusing. Just take a day and start your fishing as the out going tide at Jones Inlet starts. Find a high tide table that is the same time as the out going current and use that table. I have a great app on my phone, Tides Near Me. I just looked, the Babylon High Tide...

Pequa, I'm sorry for my late response. I spend a lot of time in the water or on my boat with underwater lights. I use current for water clarity. It is my opinion, the change point for Jones Inlet "current" and Fire Island Inlet "current" is between the Lindenhurst Cut and Babylon Cut. West of...

Ditto. J-bay, no way. I would rather work a bit harder in clean water then eat clams from the Project's waste water.

Both beautiful shirts. Too expensive for the fishing or fixing of things that I do. Crab pots and other gear we use are brutal on shirts. These cheap Amazon hoodies are actually perform as good as my expensive performance shirts and if they rip or get stained at $13, oh well.

That's a sad story we need to fix. I think we should have a bounty on cormorants. Not that they caused the decline alone but the eat everything the bay has to offer and are really good at it. Stocked trout, eels and other baitfish are all cormorant candy. I worked with Phil Briggs from the...

Johnny Crab. Fastest shucker of clams and scallops on Long Island. Yours truly 42 years ago. Strong hands. We had 20 bushels of the finest bay scallops in the world this day. That was not uncommon for us. Interesting fact, bay scallops only live 1 to 2 years. That's why their thin shell is...

Although I this is a thread about the scallop return, the importance is not the scallop but the health of the GSB. We need the eel grass to recover. Back in the day, the eel grass held so much baitfish. I can remember long before skimmer chum. My Dad and his good buddy would drag an eight for...

I've mentioned it a few times how the GSB water is really cleaning itself up. Clams are coming back in incredible numbers and the scallops are really making quite a comeback too. I don't feel there will be an overabundance of scallops this fall but I do believe they will release enough spat to...

Got them both now. Went on Amazon and could not believe how cheap and nice the SPF50 performance hoodies were. I ordered three and love them. They were only $13 each when you buy three. First set the arms were too short in X-large so I sent them back. Bought another brand and the sleeve length...

Big Sale going on at Amazon for King Oscar Sardines. $2.22/can. $26.74/box. Best used by 2030.

Chinacat. I know it's not a permanent fix and you will lose action but until you get your new rod perhaps do this if you have the tip. I took a drill bit that fit inside the blank and tip and epoxied it in. You might want to cut a part off the bit. I left it full size on mine. It work really...

All approximate. We fish current. When we have high "tide" at Babylon Village, the "current" begins to go out at Fire Island Inlet. Approximately 45 minutes later, the current begins going out at the Coast Guard Station (Moses Bridge). Approximately, 1 hour and change after Babylon high tide...
