    Tog fishing out of season

    We can ask the AI helper, but as far as I know: You are expressly permitted to target, catch and release stripers in season, but not out of season. You cannot target blackfish out of season. If you happen to catch a blackfish while say targeting porgies or seabass, you have to let it go. As far...

    Fluke Fluke Fluke

    Location, location, location. I fished a full day out of Montauk yesterday. No drift all day. I bet there were under 20 keepers for the boat. I spoke with someone that had been on a half day am boat and reported no keepers for the boat.

    The Midcoast Maine Running Stripah Report

    People fish for many reasons: love of the outdoors, provide for their family, show up their friends, etc. R7 is the only one I know that fishes for the love of plotting data!

    Jets

    My prediction: Expectations will still be high week 2, and will be dashed. Everyone will give up on the Jets and they will win week 3 to keep us invested for what will be a disappointing season. Why does their quarterback seem lime an old man?! Let's Go Mets!!

    RI is too easy

    My buddy Bob has a friend Henry who lives near Newport. He's a member of Freedom Boat Club. He's a boater, not a fisherman. Bob convinced Henry that if we came up, we could show him how to catch blackfish. Henry told us the boats have downscan and sidescan. We were supposed to leave out of Pt...

    Bass

    Actually hooked up with a shark on the first drift. Chased it down twice, then decided to break it off rather than spend the whole night fighting it on bass gear.

    Bass

    My buddie Wayne and I had an epic trip with Capt. Hugh Chancey, Chancey Charters. We diamond jigged a ton of sea bass and porgies as we waited for the sun to set, then great bass action. One didn't make it, and this 40+ fish looks like someone took a nibble of its tail on the way up!

    Bass bite

    My understanding/experience is with mojos (8-20 oz each and sometimes a pair) you use braid and don't sweep the broom, but with wire and a parachute jig (3 oz), you really work for the hookup, then work to pull in the fish on wire, with the boat in gear, since there is no line stretch. Are you...

    A New Era of Fishing with DAIWA 24 Samurai Braided Line

    How does it knot to Fluoro? Do the standard braid knots work? Does the hard smooth surface bite into the leader for a secure knot or does it slip? Inquiring minds want to know!

    Coronavirus

    Note that the bill has nothing to do with Covid-19. It does not prevent you from wearing a mask to stop spreading your germs or catch someone else's. It specifically exempts people who wear masks for health, safety, “religious or cultural purposes, or for the peaceful celebration of a holiday...

    Captain's Table - Eastern LI Sound Action

    If you provide him with the tide phase, jig size, fish size and fish number data, R7 will be happy to plot and correlate it for you to optimize the correct jig size for each tide phase, and give you the confidence interval and standard deviation!

    AI Fishing Regs

    George, you're out of business, LOL: I asked what bait to use for fluke and where to go. the answer is a bit general and not sure I agree 100% since I've caught big fluke in 80-90 feet, and it did not mention sea robin strips or even fluke belly or spearing. It also confuses live bait with dead...

    AI Fishing Regs

    And the question of fishing versus travel: Yes, even if you are not actively fishing, you are still subject to possession regulations. This means that any fish or marine species you have in your possession must comply with the size and possession limits set by the regulations. Always ensure you...

    AI Fishing Regs

    So here is the inconvenient follow-up: For striped bass, federal waters (beyond 3 miles from shore) are closed to fishing. Therefore, there are no size or possession limits for striped bass in federal waters because fishing for them is prohibited.
