Looks beautiful and delicious, Roccus! And congrats on your perseverance. The first fresh Bass dinner of any season is always a special event.

The risk involved with kayaks is not limited to the west. I also see far too many folks in kayaks with no high-flying Orange or other brightly colored flag on their stern to improve the visibility of these water level craft adequately. Then to add to the insanity some folks seem compelled to...

I was actually out fishing Bass in the Race with a friend that very foggy morning. We heard the whole, horrifying incident play out on the VHF as the CG did it's best to rescue all involved. Thank God no one was lost. It was a classic case of some dope "outrunning" the effective range of their...

I do a few kids camp trips, among others, on the Orient Star every year and it is a blast for the kids and me as well. I too have seen some idiots fishing for Bass on Jet Skis in the Gut a few times over the years. All of your observations apply!

Making the most of your retirement, Vinny, which is great. And still learning a few tricks from the "Legend". Doesn't get any better than that!!!:D

I don't think I even owned a camera in those days...John Bowne HS, class of '68 for me. Back then the winters were generally cold enough for the lake to freeze close to solid Dec-Feb. Played a lot of Hockey on the lake as well in those days!

Funny you should mention waiting for the Fog to lift this morning just west of the ferry, John. I was running the Orient Star this morning heading west to the bay and I thought I saw you there but said to myself "who the heck would be fishing here?" Actually, you made the smart decision, and it...

Sadly, the days of Cod and Snowshoe Flounder fishing near the Hooter Bouy, SW of Block are long since gone. I used to actively participate in that fishery for many years both on Party boats and my own vessels in the 70's and 80's. BTW, back then you could also count on catching some Haddock...

I grew u p walking distance form Kissena Park and fished that lake countless times as a kid. Plenty of Catfish and Carp back then and the occasional small Bass. But never one like that! Well done, Bassmaster.

Maureen has every right to " go crazy" after a catch like that. What a terrific feeling!!! I love how she is making sure you don't risk dropping her prize overboard.

We all have to start somewhere. Things will definitely be on the upswing for you soon, Roccus. Enjoy the ride!

Excellent catch, Mitch! Your smoker must have been getting near capacity with that haul!!

Great job, John! I was actually on the 9 am Ferry out of Orient that morning and I thought I saw you there. Happy to hear you enjoyed such a great battle and did the perfect release.

I totally agree with your description, Roccus. You can't be daydreaming, looking at the scenery, or the pretty girl in the boat nearby and expect to catch while 3-way bucktailing. :D

Outstanding!!! Looks like the North Shore sand eel hatch is exploding again like last year. Enjoy it while it lasts!!

My family has a very long-standing tradition of bringing all our members together, even some from far out of state, to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend. Since we are all seafood lovers, I have always made it my commitment to catch a fresh Striped Bass for our BBQ Grill as one of the special...

Wow, talk about slaying them!! Well done, Crabman.

Beautiful fish. Also like the fancy "mood lighting" on your leaning post!:)

I almost forget, but that is also correct, John and Overbored. The venerable "Jelly Worms" were often a hot ticket! I guess they were the precursor to today's Gulp worms.

Thaks for the kind words. We will have to get you out there soon Geroge. I will be in touch.
