    First fall walk on the beach

    You see any washed up skimmer clams ? One time I went down to Jones Beach at the end by the Jetty , walked to the surf line and saw hundreds of fresh skimmers laying there. Quickly ran home and returned with my schucking knife and filled a whole 5 gallon bucket with clam meat. That was when a...

    Whats on TV

    Frevee channel on Roku is fantastic! They got the Twilight Zone series and the complete Hawaii Five 0 series from the 1970's in brilliant color like the show was just made. Many other great shows and the commercial breaks are very short. You can get that channel free.

    Last day of fluke.

    It's hard getting keepers in the bay if that's where you fish. The last 2 years I caught 3 or 4 keepers. I hardly see any party boats fishing for Fluke inside Jones Inlet and they're mostly out there for meat , not action. . I see a bunch of party boats in Fire Island most of the time and they...

    Bumpy Ocean

    I never go out just for Mahi Mahi, so much frustration trying to find them, especially in the West End. Off Montauk there's a lot of Pots to troll near.

    NOONER

    Right before a storm it's usually good fishing. I was up in Lake George in early June 2008 . It was almost 100 degrees and we went for Pike in the Northern part of the lake. One big Pike after another trolling little spinners . Probably 15 Pike before my father couldn't stand the heat anymore...

    Cell phone range on the ocean

    I purchased the Motorola Defy Satellite phone for $149.99 at Cabelas with my $100 gift card. It comes with a year free service ( 15 months if you purchased it in June) . $4.99 a month after the free year. I really needed this for my traveling upstate , my cabin gets weak cell phone reception and...

    Cell phone range on the ocean

    Maybe one of those Sat Phones that send SOS and text messages. I see those devices on Amazon and it cost about $11 a month for the service. I go upstate by myself once a month , I'm in a 1 bar cell phone area so that would be good for calling for help up there and on the boat. I just got my...

    Cell phone range on the ocean

    That's good to know. I have the telephone #'s for all the Long Island Coast Guard Stations in my wallet and cell phone #'s for the Long Island Area CG Cutters. Gotta set up my radio to send my exact position to the Coast Guard- it has a built in GPS. Gotta apply for that #, I think it's free for...

    Cell phone range on the ocean

    Just curious how far you can call on the water? Is there a dedicated phone # to reach the Coast Guard ? , I read it might be 19 *, not positive about that.

    Ocean Fluke

    Nice doormat, I've been fishing the Jones Inlet area for 50 plus years on a regular basis and never caught a Fluke more than 4 pounds. Caught my only Doormat out in Montauk in the early 1970's that weighed 9 1/2 pounds. Is there still a fleet of boats fishing for Fluke near the Tankers ? Heard...

    Poachers!

    Chinese immigrants come to America with the attitude they gotta take now or there won't be anything left tommorrow. Years of Famine, hardships, being poor in a heavily populated country, made them that way. Other Asians come to America and respect the laws here, so this shouldn't be viewed as...

    Weekend Report WE2 (Fri and Sun(

    20 Short Fluke is fantastic for shore fishing. I always see a big crowd of surfcasters casting off the beach next to the East Jones Inlet Jetty. I see why it's so crowded .

    Weekend Report WE2 (Fri and Sun(

    The Bonita I caught last week were 4-5 pounds , Spanish Mackerel were 18-19 inchs, Blues 16 inch. Maybe I'll start trolling near the beach next time and troll out to the tankers for Fluke.

    Terrible Bonita, Blue Fish, Spanish Mackerel fishing,went for Fluke instead

    Went out Sunday 8:30 AM to troll for Bonita, Blues, Spanish Mackerel again. Terrible fishing, just one small Bonita less than a pound. Water was dirty after the storm and that and the storm pushed those fish offshore. Water was 75 degrees, nice flat as a lake. Got to the end of the Inlet going...
