minutes. All on diamond jigs. Tuesday was a banner day on Chancey Charters. We passed by the fleet and found all the bass we wanted on diamond jigs- unders, overs, and a slot limit in about 10 minutes. When we got tired of bailing bass, we made a few drops for blackfish without traveling too...

Big fish for the western sound!

I took my buddy fireman Joe and his girlfriend Pat blackfishing this weekend. Pat had never caught a blackfish, but by the end of the trip she explained that she now knows why people enjoy catch and release. The fish bit ferociously and continuously till it was time to go in for lunch. Even two...

Exactly. The margin between the rout and what could have been a close game is so fine. Some better fielding and a lot fewer runs given up. A slightly different trajectory on so many hard struck outs and a bunch of runs on the board. We're still in it, but we better win tonight.

Had a great trip with two of my fishing buddies despite the stiff NW breeze. about 20 feet deep. They bit till the greens and asians were gone. Easy double limit but we only kept a few.

Holy Sh*t! What a game. This team never gave up! Like Big Poppi says, they've got momentum!! Here's my post from May 23: "I can't watch them anymore. No lead is safe, they don't seem to care about add-on runs, and they seem to fall asleep after the 6th inning. I can't believe Lindor or McNeil...

they just want to get your hopes up, so they can crush them!

We can ask the AI helper, but as far as I know: You are expressly permitted to target, catch and release stripers in season, but not out of season. You cannot target blackfish out of season. If you happen to catch a blackfish while say targeting porgies or seabass, you have to let it go. As far...

sometimes I'm happy to be wrong

Location, location, location. I fished a full day out of Montauk yesterday. No drift all day. I bet there were under 20 keepers for the boat. I spoke with someone that had been on a half day am boat and reported no keepers for the boat.

What are the yellow jacket imitators that come around whenever I clean fish? you can swat them away and they never sting. they just buzz around the fish.

People fish for many reasons: love of the outdoors, provide for their family, show up their friends, etc. R7 is the only one I know that fishes for the love of plotting data!

My prediction: Expectations will still be high week 2, and will be dashed. Everyone will give up on the Jets and they will win week 3 to keep us invested for what will be a disappointing season. Why does their quarterback seem lime an old man?! Let's Go Mets!!

My buddy Bob has a friend Henry who lives near Newport. He's a member of Freedom Boat Club. He's a boater, not a fisherman. Bob convinced Henry that if we came up, we could show him how to catch blackfish. Henry told us the boats have downscan and sidescan. We were supposed to leave out of Pt...

Actually hooked up with a shark on the first drift. Chased it down twice, then decided to break it off rather than spend the whole night fighting it on bass gear.

My buddie Wayne and I had an epic trip with Capt. Hugh Chancey, Chancey Charters. We diamond jigged a ton of sea bass and porgies as we waited for the sun to set, then great bass action. One didn't make it, and this 40+ fish looks like someone took a nibble of its tail on the way up!

My understanding/experience is with mojos (8-20 oz each and sometimes a pair) you use braid and don't sweep the broom, but with wire and a parachute jig (3 oz), you really work for the hookup, then work to pull in the fish on wire, with the boat in gear, since there is no line stretch. Are you...

Great couple of walk-off wins! Now a tough road trip.

How does it knot to Fluoro? Do the standard braid knots work? Does the hard smooth surface bite into the leader for a secure knot or does it slip? Inquiring minds want to know!

Note that the bill has nothing to do with Covid-19. It does not prevent you from wearing a mask to stop spreading your germs or catch someone else's. It specifically exempts people who wear masks for health, safety, “religious or cultural purposes, or for the peaceful celebration of a holiday...
