    Shark Weak

    Fyi, my last bass trip, while livelining porgies and mackerel within 3 miles of the Block Island coast, we hooked up with 5 sharks. Another buddy bass fishing near Block Island had several bass chomped in half. If your goal is sharks, that's where I would head. My understanding is that in the...

    Is this the beginning of the gulp killer?

    that's what i meant. Even a dead stick with the sinker dragging has the gulp off the bottom.

    Is this the beginning of the gulp killer?

    Do they really think we drag our gulp on the bottom? Sure, fluke eat shrimp, but there seems to be something with the long, wavy undulating motion that attracts fluke. If your goal is durability, there's fish bites. Some like it and I keep trying it, but I've done better with gulp. Also, there...

    Chancey Charters

    How many times can you keep going back to the same well. First stop, catch porgies for bait. The fishing was so hot that could have been a trip in and of itself. Next stop, big bass. The quantity was down from last trip but I still put two 40's in the boat. A bonus was "getting/having" to fight...

    Chancy Charters

    I think we're gonna need a bigger spool! I had two epic trips with Captain Hugh Chancy in Montauk. About a week ago I got my pb striper at 47# along with 12 or so others, mostly in the 20-30 pound range. What made it special was I caught it casting bucktails on the spinning rod I use for...

    Hard to believe it’s been 51 years……..

    Most folks can't believe what we pull from the water withing sight of shore. My favorite answer to where I caught that bass is when I can answer: "The Bronx."

    So it would seem you can travel from Montauk to block Island, fish for stripers within 3 miles of the island, just don't bring back any fish. That's what I've always guessed. Different question Vinny

    Hard to believe it’s been 51 years……..

    How many 9-foot sharks do you think swim by the south shore on a daily basis. From today's Newsday: A sighting of a nine-foot shark off Point Lookout has caused the Town of Hempstead and Nassau County officials to close the town beach and all adjacent beaches in the area Thursday, the areas all...

    so here's a question the Warden did not answer directly. Can I fish for striped bass 1 mile off Block island or from the Island surf? Is the entire island in federal waters or do I need to go 3 miles from the island's shore?
