I love when I drive my outboard to the gas dock and the high school kid asks "gas or diesel?"

Should the Re line of the email go to "Recreational Measures Setting Process"? Sample email trying to paraphrase option C as best understood. My name is [name]. I live in [New York]. I am [a private recreational fisherman]. I am writing to support Option [C, sub-Option C2]. I support Option C...

Thanks. comments go to [email protected]. you are right. the text is quite dense and laden with acronyms.

Anyone looking for a course to take, I recommend (second hand) the US Boating free course. I'm not sure why, but I opted for the Power Squadron course. I did learn something new about night time lighting for sailboats and tow vessels. Apologies for anyone in their local Power Squadron, but don't...

through the rubber piece? The photo looks like it's slipped under the rubber band, like they show when you buy it. I'm going to try the eye socket next season. In any event, i only use this set-up with a 3-way and sinker. With free swimming bunker, I just hook behind the dorsal fin. My hookup...

Thanks for the detailed post. It's funny, I had been using those clips and many times the clip went missing. I thought it was me, as I didn't see how it could come off on its own. I think you make a good point too that a circle hook needs to rotate for proper hook-up. I'll try to keep that in...

Can I assume a captain's license is adequate?

My father never spoke much about WWII. But one story he did enjoy telling was that his unit had taken a building in Italy that had been used as a Nazi Officer's club. They discovered and consumed a cache of Blackberry brandy, which he used to recount as the most enjoyable drinking experience of...

I would think that anyone that does not care to hear about Coronavirus issues does not have to read posts on the Coronavirus thread.

30 for 30 was pretty good

Echo! Echo! Hmm. There suddenly seems to be slightly, slightly, less echo in this chamber.

I def had my best tog season yet in the extreme W. Sound. Uo to last year, a good day would be 50 10-12" shorts, two 15.9" and a 16.001. This year, a good day has been at least several keepers and a fish over 18" and better. Interestingly, last year's go-to spots were a bust and I was able to...

There is a regulation in Maine that lobstermen must employ a 24 hour vessel tracker on their boats to insure they are not lobstering in improper locations. The lobstermen did not like divulging to the state where they lay their traps. A federal judge in Maine on Thursday tossed the case by...

I'm too nice a guy. I let my buddy wear his Yankee hat!

Best day of the season from my home port in the Western Sound. Started deep and got a limit to about 5 lb, then headed east to fish a rock pile in about 30' when the bite slowed. My buddy Wayne starts to groan and mumble something about a big fish. As I reel in and put down my rod to reach for...

Nice work, Mike. I was on one of the well known boats out of Orient Sunday, and we struggled all day, hopping from place to place, but never really got a bite going. And nothing close to 6lb. Too much super moon current to try jigs where we were anchored.

nice job. FYI, that's a bonito, not an albie. I hope you ate it!

We had a very productive day aboard Tall Tailz out of Newport on Monday. Mine went 9 lbs. as my biggest tog of the year. We also had a 7 and some 4's and 5's. If your goal is the biggest tog possible, Tall Tailz' Captain Conner is focused on making sure your equipment, leader and drag are up to...

how deep? ive been less than 20' so far.

Rather than a Mojo head (unless it's super cheap), they sell elongated trolling weights that will probably give you less water resistance than a cannon ball shape.
