    Sunday was beautiful. Sunny skies and easy winds from the west. Headed a little farther east than I have this year and it paid off with bigger fish. A slow start, but once the tide started to flood, we had nonstop action on jigs in 30'. Three anglers put at least 10-12 keepers in the boat, with...

    California Fishing Organizations File Lawsuit Against Major U.S. Tire Manufacturers

    Was this suit brought by environmental groups or fishing groups? I would think we would be on the same side as The Institute for Fisheries Resources and the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations?

    Last year I was fishing near some big rocks in my end of the Western Sound, when I was surprised to hook something big, and it cut me off on the rocks. I thought I'd give that spot another try. Action was a little slow, with mostly tiny fish - then I hook something that doesn't budge after I set...

    Jets

    I watched hard knocks. Eventually, against my better judgment, I had hope for a winning season. Then a minute in, the Rogers injury ruined it all. But then they beat the Bills, so maybe it's not so bad. Then they lose 3 straight, so no hope. I can stop caring. Then they beat Denver and...

    In the 70's, when I was in elementary school, we would go to Brother's Pizza in Fresh Meadows, on Union Tpke. A slice served on a piece of wax paper and a grape drink in a paper cup for under $1.
