    Left the dock at 6:00am in beautiful calm conditions. Started off at the McCallister grounds. We were the third boat there and non-stop action with fluke but all shorts. We started to get mugged by other boats. We moved to the Atlantic Beach Reef and it was packed between the boats and all...

    Cobia Techniques for the North East

    We did both, I was using a semi-dead bunker and placed the hook through the lower jaw and up through the upper jaw so when I cast the bunker into the pod I could retrieve the bunker toward the Cobia and the bunker looked more life like. My friend hooked the bunker behind the top fin and let the...

    What do you think about having to be boarded by the NYSDEC while you're out trying enjoy a nice day on the water?

    I have been boarded 3 or 4 times entering Jones Inlet from the Ocean. They have always been respectful, quick conversation, check of my hatches and off we go. The last time I was boarded I did ask the officer if he could take his boots off as when I was boarded previously they left black sole...

    Cobia Techniques for the North East

    So we had successes with the Cobia on Friday. Went out at 6:00 am. The first pod had shark so we moved on and found another pod and immediately caught a blue fish so we knew there was no shark in it. The secret was stealth mode and sight fishing. Moving outside the pod we saw our first Cobia and...

    Cobia Techniques for the North East

    Lep, I'm ready for your knowledge. I have fished for Cobia down south with sucess, bait of choice down south is eels and squid. I would use my bass pole and blue fish rig. When using an eel, I would let it go since the eel would swim to the bottom if using a squid some weight to get the squid...

    Should We Reduce our Bunker Population To Allow Swimmers in the summer

    Let's go back to making bunker face cream LOL. Since that change with vacuuming up bunker other sports fish have been thriving. Tuna are closer more bass and cobia. It's the same arguments about guns and drunk driving. Take away guns will prevent mass shootings or take away a car to...

    The last two weekends were tough for me fishing in the bays. With the water temp warming up decided to try the local reefs outside of Jones Inlet. Left the dock at 8:45 am. Outgoing produced a few keeper fluke with constant action. Action died off at the slack only producing skate and dog...

    How is the price of gas going to affect your boating?

    I discussed this last week with my brother, more drinking at the dock on snotty days, really targeting my spots based on past years success/ lack of sucess with less moving from spot to spot, slowing down, tune-up of engines and put an effort into more bay fishing instead of ocean fishing...
