    Is the Gulf of Mexico a better place to fish overall and fish there in a small boat?

    Fantastic comparison. Does the Gulf side have patch reefs like in the Keys ? I'd like an area with extensive flats , great for small boat fishing. A couple of Freeport Party boat Capt's retired down on the West Coast, now I know why.Thanks.

    Is the Gulf of Mexico a better place to fish overall and fish there in a small boat?

    Debating whether to buy a winter home on the Gulf side of Florida or on the Atlantic side of Florida. I'm looking at manufactured 55 communities where you own the lot. One thing that caught my eye , it's pretty shallow in the Gulf out 15 miles or so. Like Long Island depths . Is there Blue Water...

    Cobia fishing trip

    Guys down South buy those Pangas with casting platforms in the bow and a flying bridge like that. That stuff wouldn't be good up North . I have a small anchor locker in the bow and tiller steer , more control . That Andros Panga is Americanized with a wide beam, wide gunnels that needs a big...

    Herring?

    Gotta protect all the baitfish. We see what happened when they protected bunker. I remember NJ in the early 90's had a deal between local commercial boats and foreign boats, they scooped up huge amounts of mackerel/sold it foreigners and we haven't had a spring mackerel season ever since...

    The never ending chat thread, chat about anything That your up too

    Crazy how Yute's park their bikes these days, I went over to a Pharmacy to pick up medicine and I looked over and saw a giant pile of bikes ( the fat wheel kind) laying on top of each other on the ground. Like 20 bikes!. The Yutes ( How Joe Pesci refered to young people in My cousin Vinny )...

    My lower unit was almost filled with water !!!!

    It ran fine right thru the season , no problems shifting at all or any noise. It ran wide open for a few minutes each trip and was fine. I checked the magnetic drain screws and no metal chips , I was looking closely at that. I'm checking that oil again and put it into a glass and see if water...

    My lower unit was almost filled with water !!!!

    Went to change the lower unit oil in my 2014 Evinrude Etec 50 HP , opened the screws and nothing but water flowed out. Absolutly horrified seeing that . I took the engine to All Island Marine in Oceanside to extend the shaft to 25 inch's last January , they drained the lower unit oil and...

    Operation Seawolf is a really good movie!

    It's about U Boats sent to attack New York City with V1 rockets in April 1945. True story. Starring Dolph Lundgren , who was fantastic . Excellent special effects . It's on Tubi TV. It's the first movie they ( not Hollywood, looks independant) made about the U Boat War off the United States...

    Banning all charter and party boats from Marinas in South Hampton

    George , just relying here, I'll keep things on track from now on. Roccus, I know it'll never happen , but that's what the residents out there should be doing. Maybe they could have 5 acre zoning to limit the number of homes out there going forward.

    Banning all charter and party boats from Marinas in South Hampton

    I'll never vacation with other Long Islanders , not very appealing. The whole purpose of a vacation is to get away and see different things/lifestyles . What can you do out there on eastern LI other than sit on the beach ? You can't go in the woods with the ticks and take walks. Eastern Long...

    Banning all charter and party boats from Marinas in South Hampton

    I went out to Deer Park to see my uncles old home that he bought around 1960. The whole area was woods in 1960 . My father worked at AIL Defense Company right down the road and stopped by for lunch. Go there now and it's a horror show , shopping centers, factories , homes everywhere. Did...

    Banning all charter and party boats from Marinas in South Hampton

    Google Earth Southhampton and see one McMansion after another in the woods. The North Fork is so much better. Criminal they let NYC people build summer homes out there. Pass a law no summer homes. One home per family .

    Go get your Concealed Carry License, it suddenly became easier to get one.

    I always shoot my Pistol at 25 yards , everybody else shoots point blank. Too bad no black powder anymore at the Nassau range. I wish Nassau County would expand that range with 50 -100 yard shooting. Plenty of room there to expand.

    Go get your Concealed Carry License, it suddenly became easier to get one.

    I saw some Concealed Carry training class websites and it's about $450 for a 16 hour course , like 8 hours Saturday, 8 hours Sunday.

    Go get your Concealed Carry License, it suddenly became easier to get one.

    The guy who's been around guns his whole life is way more qualified with a gun than some cop who just recently touched a gun.
