    J-Bay

    Last time I caught a doormat was way back in 1973 when I caught a 9 and a half pounder off Montauk. I've caught nothing bigger than 4 pounds since.

    Pequa, you have a fast recovery time !!!! I go out on my 25 Foot Panga and I'm exhausted at the end of the day and need at least 1 full day to rest. I'm only 62!

    Cod Fishing Above the Arctic Circle

    My family in Norway fished in the Fjords handlining for Cod. Even after my brother built a rod for them , they still used handlines. I wish I could speak Norwegian and go to Norway and live on the 35 acres we own that is less than a mile from the North Sea. I know English is wildly spoken there...

    Sacrificial snappers are the best !

    Haven't fished with Killies in years and almost never see Killie boxes anymore floating next to a boat. I still have one in my garage. They must be in livewells these days.

    Fishfinder II out of Captree

    Good hearing about the Spanish Macks , I'm going out of Jones Inlet this week to try trolling close to shore for Spanish Macks, Bonita , small Bluefish. I'm trolling with a bird and feathers daisy chain . Maybe I'll run into a bunker school and Cobia.

    Tuna

    Usually it's better trolling when it's a little rough on the ocean.

    Capt lou and the captree pride

    What a perfect bay for a race. What caught my eye were all the beautiful Blue Hulled Downeast Style yachts about 45 feet long riding all over.Saw about 7 or 8 of them. Must be a builder or dealer in the area.

    I have an Evinrude Diagnostic Program that gets rave reviews . My Outboard Mechanic tried to fix the problem and said it was a sensor that shorted out. My Diagnostic program showed no sensor fault. The Engine Computer stores all the faults and my Diagnostic Program lets me see all the...

    I have to mount the outboard bracket on the back . Just never got around to it. I'm working on a solution now.Panga transoms are narrow and I had to find a bracket small enough to fit. I love my Chinese Outboard, it's a keeper.

    It's not that I don't wanna learn from a Pro like Capt. Mike, I'm just not a partyboat/charter Boat kind of guy like when I was younger. I haven't gone on a boat for hire in decades. Use to all the time.

    My Motor went into Safe Mode about 4 hours into my trip yesterday. Had to limp all the way back to Port Of Egypt area going 2 knots into a strong outgoing tide. Don't know how I ever made it back to the ramp !! Was very scary with all those Ferries going back and forth. All the way from Dering...

    Peconic Bay has a Gazillion Yachts

    If you wanna see Yachts, go out there for a day. All day long I saw beautiful Downeast style yachts about 45 foot long with Blue Hulls. There must be a builder or dealer out there selling those boats. At least $750,000.

    Thanks for the offer Capt. Mike , I appreciate you wanting to help. Not making excuses , but right now I go out there based on the weather ( wind less than 10 -15) and the tide has to be going the right way because my engine goes into safe mode almost every other trip and I can only go 2 miles...
