Mrs. Lep turned that 5lber into floured pan-seared fillet, w/blistered baby plum tomatoes and chimichurri sauce over brown rice, with fresh garlic mushrooms and young asparagus. The Black & Tan was the puurfect pairing.

I have a friend that used to put these on his long leader up ahead of his strip bait. That was years ago, before everyone switched over to the bucktail jigging thing. I guess they would probably still work, but I wouldn't go out of my way to swap my GULP! baits for these.

This has been my toughest deep-water fluking season, by far. Just can't seem to locate more than a NY keeper or two or two every trip. And that's for the boat, not per man. Offfah! Quite the test for my nervous system. Near endless action with shorts - many of which being real heart-breakers...

Sailed deep with KenScot yesterday. Funny, heard that the boats fishing to the far West has a NE breeze, as ours was ESE all day. Anyway, the conditions were pretty decent, though the breeze against tide situation wasn't helping our bait presentation. But we really only needed 5oz later in the...

Hey Mitch my pleasure! Enjoy!

A wise choice Mitch! I’ll send them East with Capt. Mike 2moro.

O.K. Mitch - here's what I have. First, a 7' St. Croix Premier "Surf Series" spinner, in ML. I used to plug the bay with this rod, caught a ton of schoolies on it. Works a pencil or Whopper Plopper like it was made for it. Matches perfectly with any reel in the 2500 to 5000 class. I used it...

I have two that I can part with, that I believe will fit your needs. Let me check and come back here.

Late report. Sailed with KenScot and RobbiePav to my offshore office. Unlike the previous three trips there was a significant breeze (initially) pushing us along, necessitating 5oz bucktails. Started catching well, with three for the box, plus a lot of husky Jersey-sized toss-backs...

Quick report. Capt. Mike and Kevin/longcast aboard for a deep trip. Beautiful day, again very slow drift and bite. Lots of hangers-on and "one pump chumps" that wouldn't commit. Ended the day with 4 fish in the box, Mike's the day's best at roughly 4.5lbs. Had one nice biscuit and a half dozen...

Headed deep yesterday with Kevin/Longcast and KenScot on a truly gorgeous ocean. Arrived to find next to no drift. The light breeze and weak tide were in direct opposition, holding us essentially in near-zero drift conditions. This continued throughout the day, even once the tide changed, as...

Yes, agreed. But at 9 bags for the price of 6, I believe this is cheaper. Could be wrong, but I don't think so. What I do like about the pint bottles is that you also get a good amount of the GULP! juice, so no need to buy any extra bottles of the recharger juice if you buy that way. That...

Just a quick note, Dick's (at least the one in Melville, anyway) is having a very decent sale on GULP. Buy 6 bags, get 3 free. Also, that's at the old $7.99 price, not the 2025 $8.99/bag - so more savings. I know, I know, Dick's sucks, I get it. But 9 bags for $49.94 is a good deal, anti-gun BS...

A buddy rolled by the Windmill barge yesterday. Much higher res shots.

The new modded-handle spinner? Awesome!
