    Actually, Guy, over the years Cutco has done a mix of resharpening and replacement for me. I guess it depends upon the amount of wear on the blade during any given year. But typically mine gets a very large amount of use, hopefully not abuse. Still there are times when I do find several deep...

    Green Crabs

    Actually, Dom, with the warmer water temps we have seen in the last few years, my local bait supplier does procure their early season green crabs for resale from locations further north. So, I guess part of the price we pay to fish for Tog in shirtsleeves in mid October is the cost of fuel for...

    Judging by the size of your crew and the number of baskets, I would say you enjoyed quite a feast that day! Regarding the locking mechanism on the Cutco, it is rock solid regardless of whether you work at the 6" minimum, 9" maximum extension, or anywhere in between. In my opinion it is a fairly...

    Knife discussion

    Sounds like a new challenge to attempt this season, Matt. I would be happy to give you some lessons on one of your trips. There is definitely an increased sense of satisfaction in both catching and then performing the prep work yourself. Not that you ever have to on my boat, but if you want to...

    Aqualina II Charters-Moriches

    Wow, those are some serious upgrades, Rocco. Best of luck with the new tools. Those poor Fluke will not stand a chance!!:D

    Green Crabs

    Two thoughts come to mind. First, if they are so invasive and widespread, shouldn't the price be coming down? Will I actually see a reduction in my bait costs this fall? Kind of doubt it. Second, I don't care who prepares them, they will always be BAIT in my mind! 😱 Plenty of other tasty things...

    That is a very impressive collection you have Crabman! I also love the names on the handles of some, perhaps to warn others to stay away from your more preferred models? I cannot deny the excellent performance, value, and longevity of most of Dexter's products. I also own and regularly use...

    How Long Can This Continue? Tog Slaughter

    This photo is really hard to look at. Anyone who has fished for Tog in the NY/NJ area over the last several years has witnessed the decline, no matter where you fish in our waters. Is there even time left to salvage this coveted species? Why do you think so many folks are going to RI and MD...

    Careful what you ask for Mitch. I just might give you the "Mother of all Homework Assignments"!!!🤣

    Ward Melville 2025

    I appreciate your feedback, Guy, and I will do the best I can with the very short amount of time I will have to cover this one subject. I can envision how to add some of the requests you have made. However, it is also important to realize that I could easily spend my entire hour on the Tides...

    Actually, understanding both Tides and current flow are important to being able to score consistently with all species. I will provide both some basics and a bit more detailed information in a classroom setting. However, that is only the start of the learning curve. Once you are comfortable...

    Ward Melville 2025

    I just spoke with Bob Wilson yesterday and it looks like they should be announcing the speaker list by early Feb, maybe a bit sooner. I don't know the exact process on how they select the presenters, but I do believe they try to give folks who have the experience and skill to all have a fair...

    Be sure to paint a nice big "Bullseye" on the back, Lep! My eyesight is not as good as it used to be!!!:ROFLMAO:

    Combo Chartplotter/FF??

    Having the much larger information display a full screen offers is always a plus. As Pete said, and many others who have tried it notice, unless you are running "PC Monitor" sized displays seeing the most critical information from a distance is futile on a split small screen display. In...

    Those are some very nice sized Flounder, Lep. And I also remember sailing with you from Fred's dock in Seaford many times in the past. Definitely the "good old days"!

    Result from Today's ASMFC Striped Bass Meeting

    Even though more restrictive regulations have been delayed once again, there is no reason why each individual who loves Striped Bass cannot do their part to conserve. I still stand by my suggestion that for those who have alternate species to target to change tactics immediately upon reaching...

    Oh the fantastic memoires you stir up with a photo like this one, Vinnie. Most of us in our age bracket and beyond probably learned to fish with winter flounder being our target. And they were so prolific back then! The "Basket Grounds" in Shinnecock Bay earned its famous monicker due to the...

    A NY Striped Bass Meeting concerned fishermen should attend or tune into December 10 @ 17:00

    First of all, thanks to everyone who replied to my comments. I know it is healthy to always pay close attention to each other's opinions and perspective. Obviously, this is a very complex problem, and no simple or single solution will work for everyone. Especially when it is apparent there is...
