    Back To Basics - and the genesis of the “Brian F-Yeah!” Rig

    He dead-sticked over rubble? He must have had ALOT of patience. Yeah, not doing that.

    Back To Basics - and the genesis of the “Brian F-Yeah!” Rig

    The "Brian F-Yeah!” Rig O.K., so what George is talking about is my fairly recent modification of the basic B/S-Rig, specifically designed to catch on those days that require more than a 5-6oz bucktail to hold bottom, without having to pay out a ton of scope. That's never a good idea when...

    Switchblade knife

    Or you can try what I carry - a Buck 364BKS Rival 3.5" blade. Not a switchblade, but still a one-hand quick opener, using your thumb on the little stud at the base of the blade to flick it open. Less than $30 and made in USA. I'm pretty sure it was Roger/Buddha162 that referred this knife to me...

    Headed out to my offshore office yesterday with Capt. Mike. A gorgeous but generally slow day, with Mike putting some real quality in the box. A 4.5, 5, and 6 for him. Kudos! Me? Two 15lb smooth doggies that ran off drag like big bluefish and a couple of 19-inch "throwbacks." Did have two on...

    Original Clash vs Clash II Line Roller assemblies

    For a few of my spinners I've replaced the line roller bearing with a POM (Polyoxymethylene) plastic bushing out of a Daiwa or Shimano reel knob. No more rusted bearings and the POM bushings spin pretty much as well - with the help of a drop of reel oil, of course. (I like ReelX for this, btw)...

    Was it a Good trip or a Bad trip? I really want to hear you thoughts. So first off, I NEVER consider it a bad trip when our humble host George is aboard. His "organized chaos" style of fishing never gets old, that's for sure. 🤪 From his latest innovation, the "GULP! Aquarium," :rolleyes: to...

    Fluke Jigs- "Hook Refinements?"

    Yes, I also agree. Would anyone be surprised to see how many 14" fluke inhale a 6oz jig in 80' of water? How long is a 6oz bucktail? Not really all that much longer than a 4oz version, when you think about it. A decent fluke has no issue ripping down a 10" squid, so why would a 6oz bucktail not...

    Shrimp Stuffed Fluke Roll-Ups Wifey had to work late, so inspired by my friend Frankie/Teresa V, I made dinner tonight - Broiled shimp-stuffed fluke roll-ups in a light white wine sauce, with air fryer-blistered Shiseido peppers and fries - washed down with iced Sangria. Really great!

    Yes, of course! That's the thrust of every one of my reports this season. 👍

    Daiwa Tatula SV TW 150: A Game-Changer for Power Fishing Enthusiasts

    So Abu made some small 2-speed baitcasters (3.8/5.3) back in the 90's - both round and low-pro versions. Neither lasted very long on the market - they just didn't hold up. Now that I think about it, about 10 years ago a good friend sent me a 6500 2-speed with gear issues as a "gift." I took it...

    Yeah, me too. But in 2025. Uggh. :rolleyes:

    Well, we gave it a real good shot anyway Repeating success has been a near-impossible task this fluke season. Ran off with our host George and my friend Frankie who runs his boat Teresa V out of Howard Beach. Beautiful ocean, light breeze and quarter moon phase made it look like a perfect...

    A New Era of Fishing with DAIWA 24 Samurai Braided Line

    Here’s my current favorite. It seems nearly every year there’s an improvement in line technology. Maybe this new Daiwa stuff will be this year’s bestie.

    A New Era of Fishing with DAIWA 24 Samurai Braided Line

    If you have a spool of brightly colored 20lb test send it to me. I’ll put it on my spin-jig outfit. No dark green or gray please.

    Daiwa Tatula SV TW 150: A Game-Changer for Power Fishing Enthusiasts

    I was getting to this post, but got delayed by some "events" this weekend. This is a nice enough reel, it certainly has good bones, but Overbored is right, its gear ratio is not optimized for general inshore fishing, like fluking for example. I can suggest another Tatula, which is becoming a...

    Finally! Headed out to my offshore office with Kevin/Longcast and Capt. Mike on a gorgeous ocean. Hopes weren't very high as everyone knows this fluke season has been something of a disappointment. Going home with a single fish in the box has been the norm over my past few solo trips - the...

    Huk X Montana Knife Company Collaboration – A Must-Have for Outdoor Enthusiasts

    No fillet knife is worth $300. I defy anyone using it to out-fluke fillet me using this knife or any other high-priced model, while I use my trusty S2333-9 carbon steel Dexter. I’ve only bought two of those in my entire life. The first one was still serviceable after close to 50 seasons. But...

    The ability to fish anytime and any place is helpful, that's for sure. Being bound to one area can work against your efforts, if the fish ain't around.
