    Bluefish

    Fished three very different spots yesterday morning searching for stripers with live bunker and chunks. Bluefish in all of them. The large size, where when you try to swing them in or just hold their heads out of the water during unhooking, your 80# mono leader parts, even if you can see the...

    Ghost pots

    Regarding the alleged illegality of clearing ghost pots, I wonder if they can give everyone a year to claim their pots, then anything without a pot marker is fair game for clean-up. I bet the blackfish bite improves by orders of magnitude after that.

    Bass and Blues

    My wife prefers bluefish (the way i take care of and prepare it) to fluke, which she claims has no flavor.

    Bass and Blues

    I had a fun day of chunking a few days ago. Plenty of old slot size bass and the first daytime bluefish bite I've had in years. I eventually had to switch to wire, as I was losing too many hooks. Most of the blues were 10#+, with the largest hitting 16 on the Boga. I think the competition from...

    Ghost pots

    The article talks about plastic, but not really the cycle of dead life catching live animals, who die, attracting more animals

    Finally Chunking

    So where are the bunker? Not in Manhasset Bay, which is loaded with peanuts(?) Odd for this time of year. I noticed some big schools of adults mid-sound, in very deep water, and moving fast, but not even snagable. Forget about a cast net. I resorted to buying bunker (thanks Jack's) for the first...

    It's almost as if betting the farm on a pair of 40 year old pitchers was a bad idea! Cant wait for the Jets season to start

    Coronavirus

    Well, since you stirred the pot, here's how I understand things.... I'm sure the data showed 90ish % reduction in infection of the virus that was prevalent at the time the studies were run (on actual humans) and the data was collected. Unfortunately, not everyone got vaccinated and many folks...

    Coronavirus

    two thoughts: "other studies to date have shown that protection against more serious outcomes wanes much more slowly than against symptomatic infection, and that the shots continue to protect pretty well against these more dire events." also, despite the quicker than expected (by some) waning...

    April Bass

    Almost forgot that this is a fishing site! Early season bass trolling has been pretty good in the western sound. One day close to shore. The next pretty deep. I'm marking much more than I'm catching, but overall, a pretty good spring so far and all those marks are a good sign for the fishery...

    You need to reserve a spot for the Half Dome "climb" well in advance, because of the huge demand!
