I use Tides Near Me also. I need to see if I can find a “spot” in lindenhurst to see the difference from amityville to try to determine how much longer an incoming will flow past a massapequa location at “high tide”

That was exactly what i was looking for, including how to figure when the current would continue to move and for how long at a certain point. Thank you

No upgrades for me. My Hurricane kayaks are thermomolded, not rotomolded and 20% lighter as a result. If I want pedals, I take out a bicycle. Trolling motors, electronics ? No sport in that. Why don't we just install an electric stun gun and do away with lures and fishing rods ?

it was the condescending snarkiness interspersed with a really dry sense of humor. when he surfcasted, it was with his Denali, no ? The twin yammies on the Grady Lady. Always referred to the "pelagics", and how all fluke over 15 inches and all stripers over 30" were female. I used to think...

Uh huh. Lol.

Prove it was you !

I really miss Captain Matt. Whoever that really was had a true gift.

Was that a bot or is Captain Matt The Professional with his Yammie equipped Grady Lady chasing pelagics really back ?

was this a sighting of long lost Captain Matt, i.e. The Professional, from bygone days ? Oddly enough, I do have a Daiwa BG2000 and a 2500 for the kayak. Will look into a 5000.

VS. LOL. That would be like replacing my Maverick with a Bentley to drive to ShopRite.

Although it could be technique, based on casting distance, I think I may be using a reel too small for the rod. The reel is a Penn Battle II 4000. The rod is an Okuma Rockaway 11' Medium 1102M rated at 3/4 to 3 oz. What size reel should I be looking at ? 4500 ? Even larger ? I want...

Much safer uncasing then loading or unloading a shotty on a tailgate than leaning it on some little sapling. Similar to the ultra dangerous pistol grip on a certain semi auto rifle, the elimination of which makes it unwieldy and inherently unsafe. These laws are invaribly written by...

Dolphins were back in Massapequa Cove this morning. Couldn't get a pic.as they are not very photogenic. I got one short fluke and let the onshore blow me back to the ramp. Two different boats must have tried netting bunker (?) for at least an hour. No idea how successful they were but...

sad that I never got another keeper last year after the sightings, but to see dolphins in the back bay after never seeing them in 50 years makes getting skunked an afterthought. Last year it was much later in the season as I was livelining snappers. They were too smart to take my snapper...

on the way back in had 2 or 3 dolphins swim past me in Massapequa Cove. Was shocked last year when I say a pod of 4-5 on the opposite side of biltmore shores, and then hooked into a sand tiger shark while livelining snappers just off the same waterfront homes. I never caught another keeper...
