Dominick Every $ in NY goes into the General Fund. Just look at the mess with the lottery. Dedicated fund to reduce out school taxes. Yet the money ends up in the general fund

Remember what happened with the Lottery money It was suppose to go into a special fund that lowered our property/school taxes yet it is back doored into NY States "General Fund" The same will happen with a Saltwater license. We will never see the funds go to fisheries One other point the six...

You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant excepting Alice!!

We were checked Friday evening about 10:30 PM. No fish on board. Officer was polite and professional. Good to see them checking all the boats and fisherman.

They have been checking at many locations recently. Make sure you follow the rules. It seems many people aren't.

Agree with George Hidden in the interior really seems like they were hiding the fish Are the fish hidden because they are being sold? 19 fish seems like a pretty large amount of hidden fish

Never understood Party/Charter boats taking short fish. They are cutting their own throat. No respect for the natural resource that belongs to all of us.

Call the DEC. Let's see if they follow up on the information. Bet they treat it like the live blackfish trade-it doesn't exist in the DEC's eyes

I am in my 60's and have been boating for aver 40 years. Been boarded many times. The DEC was by far the most obnoxious and unprofessional. It's great to see them checking for illegal catches and enforcing Environmental Laws-which is their jurisdiction. However, there is a proper way to stop a...

A slot limit might be worth a try. Not many keepers the last few years. HOWEVER, the commercial fisherman would have to abide by the same slot limit. Not two sets of rules, one for recs, one for commercials

Aquarius I was born in 1957. Flounder fished starting in the early sixties with my dad. The entire Captree fleet would anchor up off Hecksher State Park. Yes, we did not know any better. We would fill a bucket with flounder. 20 to 25 fish each was the norm, times the number of fares on the...

The DEC is only concerned with violations/ fines and licenses ($$$$$). They are NOT proactive and have never been, There was a NY State Ocean Science Lab in Montauk that raised baby flounder years ago. The DEC would not let them release the baby flounder in Montauk. I agree strongly with the...

The laws are basically about possession. I fish the Port Jeff area. If I cross into Connecticut waters fish legally caught in NY may be closed/illegal in Connecticut and visa versa. The last few seasons blackfish opened in NY before Conn. If i caught legal black fish in NY and crossed in Conn...

George Remember the old show at the NY Coliseum at Columbus Circle? The building was packed with products and people. More empty space now at the Javits than display space. Not worth it anymore The COVID restrictions don't help either. I don't want to deal with all the mask requirements in NY...

Used to attend every year for something to do in the winter. No point in going back. The show gets smaller and smaller every year. Not work the cost of the train and attendance. Years back the LIRR had a boat show package which combined the LIRR fare and the boat show ticked and you saved a few...

I am with Capt. Mike. No Facebook, Instagram ect

I can help you with local knowledge. Sound Beach is the Town of Brookhaven. You can buy the season pass. Seems you are in my senior citizen age bracket, so the cost is reduced to $60. This allows use of Port Jeff, Mt. Sinai, Stony Brook and many Town ramps on the south shore as well. You will...

Pretty Funny: I grew up fishing the Bar Beach area as well, and now fish mostly out of Port Jeff and Mt Sinai-small world sometimes. The boat rental place in Roslyn was called Bills. Bill had a yard man-helper who had a wonderful personality- we nick named him Frankenstein if that is any clue.

Mario Cuomo had a Westchester politician named Brodsky) not allow the gamefish bill to come to the floor for a vote. It was another-no pun intended-bait and switch by Mario. Only the $150 lifetime license money was refunded. I paid the $10 annual. Those were never refunded
