    Smallmouth City

    That is one heck of a Smallmouth. Must have been a great fight! Well done, George.

    Late Start, But A Good One

    I'm sure you will put it to good use. Just being able to avoid using the ground tackle on certain days will more than make you smile. Controlling your drift as well as thoroughly working a small piece of structure are also very strong points in its favor. I bet the fish are already nervous!!:D

    Late Start, But A Good One

    Always a great feeling when your boat is floating again! Did you get a chance to try the new Garmin?

    Late Start, But A Good One

    Nice going, John. So, you too have a trolling motor now? I thought you were sharp enough to not need such exotic equipment!! :ROFLMAO: Honestly, I am just jealous! Use it well and catch a ton of fish this season. I'm' sure I will see you out there.

    Captain's Table - Prospecting Today

    Today was prospecting day for me as I decided to check out the Bass action at Orient along with a mix of our traditional species inside Peconic Bay. Bass were at least 10 days late inside the bay this season and it seems the same pattern is happening to the east. Despite a full moon and good...

    It's ALWAYS a learning experience; out of boredom, did some C&R Cod Jigging...

    Always nice to work the rod, even if it's C&R. I thought you had a brief Cod opening in the spring, but I guess the ME regs are even tougher than ours. As far as finding them in a slightly different location, that reinforces 2 well known points. First, you should never take your eyes off the...

    Raritan Bay Stripers

    Very Nice! Is there even a chance to hook up with those BFT?

    Captain's Table - Porgy Heaven!

    My 2025 charter season started off with a huge bang for my loyal Porgy fans, Tony and his buddies who make the long drive from NJ several times each year. Perfect weather and light tides made for a very enjoyable and action-packed trip. All it took was one drop at a favored spot near Shelter...

    Aqualina II Charters-Moriches

    Well done, Rocco. Looks like TJ has a boat he likes as much as his own! Still a little cool in the Peconics but things are starting to break open now. I will probably give local Fluke my first shot next week. Have a great season.

    I know I'm beating a dead horse

    Of course, the CT boats are subject to NY regulations while fishing in our waters. But, as Overbored and many others have noted enforcement is quite lean.

    Finally splashed

    No better feeling...except being tight to a feisty linesider!! Have a great and safe season, Roccus.

    Cod Shutdown?

    While I have not made the run in many years, it is sad to think that summer Cod fishing at Coxes Ledge is no longer an option. I really miss that fishery.:mad:

    I know I'm beating a dead horse

    Sadly, this is a very old and painful story for all the NY Anglers who feel cheated by fishing the same waters as our neighboring states that have more favorable regulations. The one that burns me the most is Sea Bass. Fishing the North Fork and eastern LI Sound I am constantly frustrated that...

    Yellow eyed demons!

    Great way to start, Kevin. Plus, one of those stories that can only happen while fishing. I love it! BTW, what camera lens were you using? That Fluke looks like a keeper to me!;)

    Captain's Table - Prospecting Day

    After 6 weeks of hard work the boat is finally floating, shining brightly, and ready to fish! Did a solo trip yesterday to begin testing out various drops for our legendary spring Scup run in advance of my first charters next week. Although, Porgies are available through a wide range of waters...

    North Shore bite

    Very nice!! Great to see "The Legend" showing how it's done! My time is coming soon, probably next week.

    Spearing Shortage

    Was that your transition point to Bass fishing Roccus? And, I agree, for a coastal/ocean fisherman, the Midwest must be Purgatory!

    Spearing Shortage

    While I am not an engineer, I often thought that someone needs to invent an "Ignition interlock kill switch" tied to chum pots, killie carts, etc. to prevent this common problem!!:eek:

    Spearing Shortage

    It was Frank at the long-gone Eastern Reel in Wantagh that taught me that trick. Being located on Merrick Road he had no close access to a creek or live bait tank to work with. He claimed that the killies could survive just by being able to respire through the moisture created by the newspaper...
