    Sailed deep solo yesterday, last trip of the season. Didn't want to burden anyone else with having to deal with the slow bite and meager results that has been so prevalent this season. Plus an occasional solo trip can be beneficial as a mental health break, without the pressure of having to...

    Reel info

    You know, now that I think about it, I owned one of those Black Hole 691 UL rods several seasons back. It was the spinning model and I liked it a lot. Very nice blank, though a trifle fast for my taste. Anyway, it wasn't the action that got me to sell it, rather it was that the reel seat was...

    Reel info

    Okey Dokey, I like and use myself the Daiwa Tatula 150P and the Abu Garcia Revo Winch - I have the Gen4, but the Gen5 version is even nicer. Both of those feature an "around" 5.3:1 retrieve ratio. If you do a little searching (hint: Ebay) you should be able to buy the Tatula for the right price...

    Reel info

    Hi fisherman - some more info would help narrow down a reel or two for your BH. What fish are you targeting?

    Kevin - sauté the topping 3/4-cooked thru before assembling the fillet & topping for baking/broiling.

    Fished yesterday on a VERY rough ocean with Capt. Mike and George. Some biggies rolled under my keel this trip, that's for sure. Anyway, no real shot at legit jigging, we went right to the B/S Rigs with 6oz sinkers. It was almost impossible to keep from hanging up, as the waves would carry us up...

    Penn 4400 SS No non reverse

    You probably could have just picked it up at Causeway. Anyway be mindful that your issue could be more than just the dog. It might also be the engaging spring or the tooth-ed anti-reverse wheel that the dog grabs against as well. When you take off the rotor, you will know.

    Tatula 150P

    Any small baitcaster regardless of manufacturer, needs a good bit of preventative maintenance, if its expected to live a long life in SW use. I know all about reels that are advertised as "SW Safe." Nonsense marketing baloney. Baitcasting reels have too many points of entry for the water to work...

    Penn 4400 SS No non reverse

    My 5500 had this issue. It doesn’t now. Anyway, your call, you know where I roost.

    (Also posted this on the "General" board for those that do not read this board) So here are the variables as I see them: 1/ No accurate counting of private boats (or rec fishermen) 2/ No accurate accounting of days fished by each rec 3/ Keeping short fish? I know for a fact that several...

    Proof The System Is Broken - We killed 3x the fluke we took home

    So here are the variables as I see them: 1/ No accurate counting of private boats (or rec fishermen) 2/ No accurate accounting of days fished by each rec 3/ Keeping short fish? I know for a fact that several charter boats in my area allow the keeping/fast cutting of "close enough" sub-legal...

    Saturday had George and KenScot aboard. Must have put a hundred fish in the boat, only able to box four NY keepers to 23" plus a coupla big biscuits. Threw back a minimum of four other 19" fish. Not to mention at least ten fat biscuits in the 15-16" range. These NY regs are as bad as everything...

    Carburetors

    I used to be a real tuner when it came to modding Quadrajets for performance engines. Back when I owned my Snap-on route I did all my gear-head clients’ carbs. None could believe they didn’t “need to upgrade” to a Holley in order to get their rides to really step out. “Holley? We don’t need no...
