    Spanish Mackerel ,Bonita, Blues right outside Jones Inlet

    Mackerel Tinker Tube Rigs with a small jig on the end, trolled 2-4 knots on the surface , is really effective for the Spanish Mackerel. Maybe I'll try them next week.

    The State should built a boat ramp in Montauk

    $100 on fuel ? I was thinking about pulling into Montauk Marine Basin and buy 3 or 4 gallons of gas because that's all I need for a full day off Montauk. I'd spend $100 on gas to tow it out there from Western Nassau. If NY was for the little guy they'd build a ramp out there so average people...

    The State should built a boat ramp in Montauk

    They partner with towns out on the East End and build ramps. The state can purchase a right of way thru a marina to build a ramp.

    The State should built a boat ramp in Montauk

    I'd keep a boat out in Montauk if I had something comfortable to sleep on. A nice 35 footer with a nice cabin would be a nice summer home out there . Last I checked the dock would be 5-6 thousand for the season, winter storage is much cheaper . You go out for a week at a time it'll quickly pay...

    The State should built a boat ramp in Montauk

    Maybe the State should partner with a Marina out there, build a first class ramp ,parking lot , the marina can charge $25-$30 to launch , the state would maintain the ramp. The marina would get alot of business selling bait, fuel, doing repairs, transient docking.

    The State should built a boat ramp in Montauk

    Gone are the days when there were fishing reports in local newspapers and fishing and hunting writers with a lot of clout like Nick Karas who'd get on the phone and demand things from the state. Too bad Cuomo had to resign, he'd get the ramps. Kathy Hochul is a disaster for sportsmen.

    The State should built a boat ramp in Montauk

    What about all the State Land at Hither Hills , they couldn't put a paved road thru there and a ramp on the bay ?

    The State should built a boat ramp in Montauk

    The special interests don't want it. They want you to hop on a party boat or pay a marina to launch.

    The State should built a boat ramp in Montauk

    Fishing fund money would pay a big chunk of the cost, they could charge $25 to launch until it's paid off. More than anything, special interests will try to block it. Look how long it took to get the first ever State Ramp on Peconic Bay and at Captree. They had plenty of land to build a ramp at...

    The State should built a boat ramp in Montauk

    Somewhere in Montauk they gotta find land to build a boat ramp. Next door to Star Island Marina/down the road from the Coast Guard Station ,there's a 5 acre parcel of woods that was for sale. Don't know if it's still for sale or not. Get money from federal fishing funds, charge $20 to launch and...

    Solid Bonita Fishing

    Went out Monday 8/14/23 to troll outside Jones Inlet . I didn't think I'd catch much trolling . A mile outside the inlet the water started getting super clear and clean. I didn't see many Bunker for Cobia fishing, so I put out 2 Bird rigs with 4 feathers and trolled about 6 or 7 knots thru the...

    Your ECO's Hard at Work

    Too bad they're the enforcement arm of the radical far left in NY. I had great respect for them in the past when NY had divided Gov't many years. Now I pull into a rest stop to take a leak and they could arrest me because my gun wasn't in a fireproof gun case. You know they aren't looking the...

    Cobia fishing trip

    They also put those mini towers on Panga boats. I love my Panga 25, it's very seaworthy , but it rocks back and forth pretty fast and I wouldn't wanna be sitting in one of those towers rocking back and forth. It's perfect for flats fishing, fishing calm water .My Panga with it's very high bow is...

    The Battle of Britain, The Blitz and the FDR Drive

    Did you know the FDR Drive in NYC was constructed with WW 2 bomb debris from England ? It was . Liberty Ships and other freighters would transport war material and other material to England . They loaded the empty ships with bomb debris so they'd have ballast for the return trip back to the US...

    Cobia fishing trip

    Went out Jones Inlet looking for Cobia on Wednesday 8/2. Fished east of the inlet and west , there were huge schools of Bunker west of the Inlet off Lido Beach, only a few small pods east of the inlet. No Cobia or Sharks that I saw. Here and there you'd see the water boil like something was...

    Cobia king is back!

    They use 2 oz. bucktails down South for Cobia, they cast out and reel back in sharply jigging the bucktail. Wonder if it would work up here ? I have a bunch of frozen bunker, you think they'd take dead bunker floating down ?

    Solid fluking in Jones Inlet

    Went out yesterday 7/25 and fished in Jones Inlet for 3 hours. Went directly to the inlet from the ramp because that's where I caught them last week. Got there about 10:30 AM , fished until 1:30 PM, incoming tide until about 2PM, brisk wind from the South . Solid fluke fishing , especially the...
