    Proof The System Is Broken - We killed 3x the fluke we took home

    So here are the variables as I see them: 1/ No accurate counting of private boats (or rec fishermen) 2/ No accurate accounting of days fished by each rec 3/ Keeping short fish? I know for a fact that several charter boats in my area allow the keeping/fast cutting of "close enough" sub-legal...

    Saturday had George and KenScot aboard. Must have put a hundred fish in the boat, only able to box four NY keepers to 23" plus a coupla big biscuits. Threw back a minimum of four other 19" fish. Not to mention at least ten fat biscuits in the 15-16" range. These NY regs are as bad as everything...

    Carburetors

    I used to be a real tuner when it came to modding Quadrajets for performance engines. Back when I owned my Snap-on route I did all my gear-head clients’ carbs. None could believe they didn’t “need to upgrade” to a Holley in order to get their rides to really step out. “Holley? We don’t need no...

    Go with the Palmarius slow-pitch series for MUCH less money - if you're smart about when/where to buy them. ;)

    My turn to cook. Turned part of Saturday's catch into "Mediterranean Fluke" per the attached recipe. Served over rice, side of fresh garlic string beans with blistered cherry tomatoes. Scrumptious! Paired nicely with this Frenchie Wine. Here's the recipe...

    Hit the Deep with RobPav aboard. Was a little concerned being right on the full moon, with a breeze from the ENE. Needless worries, the fish bit their heads off. Had to have put 60 units in the boat, with 5 true NY Rec keepers to 22". Sooo close to a boat limit (big deal, a whole 6 fish). Put...

    Mrs. Lep turned that 5lber into floured pan-seared fillet, w/blistered baby plum tomatoes and chimichurri sauce over brown rice, with fresh garlic mushrooms and young asparagus. The Black & Tan was the puurfect pairing.

    B2 Squid bodies

    I have a friend that used to put these on his long leader up ahead of his strip bait. That was years ago, before everyone switched over to the bucktail jigging thing. I guess they would probably still work, but I wouldn't go out of my way to swap my GULP! baits for these.

    This has been my toughest deep-water fluking season, by far. Just can't seem to locate more than a NY keeper or two or two every trip. And that's for the boat, not per man. Offfah! Quite the test for my nervous system. Near endless action with shorts - many of which being real heart-breakers...

    Sailed deep with KenScot yesterday. Funny, heard that the boats fishing to the far West has a NE breeze, as ours was ESE all day. Anyway, the conditions were pretty decent, though the breeze against tide situation wasn't helping our bait presentation. But we really only needed 5oz later in the...

    Lep's Flea Market

    O.K. Mitch - here's what I have. First, a 7' St. Croix Premier "Surf Series" spinner, in ML. I used to plug the bay with this rod, caught a ton of schoolies on it. Works a pencil or Whopper Plopper like it was made for it. Matches perfectly with any reel in the 2500 to 5000 class. I used it...

    Late report. Sailed with KenScot and RobbiePav to my offshore office. Unlike the previous three trips there was a significant breeze (initially) pushing us along, necessitating 5oz bucktails. Started catching well, with three for the box, plus a lot of husky Jersey-sized toss-backs...

    Quick report. Capt. Mike and Kevin/longcast aboard for a deep trip. Beautiful day, again very slow drift and bite. Lots of hangers-on and "one pump chumps" that wouldn't commit. Ended the day with 4 fish in the box, Mike's the day's best at roughly 4.5lbs. Had one nice biscuit and a half dozen...

    Headed deep yesterday with Kevin/Longcast and KenScot on a truly gorgeous ocean. Arrived to find next to no drift. The light breeze and weak tide were in direct opposition, holding us essentially in near-zero drift conditions. This continued throughout the day, even once the tide changed, as...

    GULP! Good Dealeo at Dick's - and Spare me, please!

    Yes, agreed. But at 9 bags for the price of 6, I believe this is cheaper. Could be wrong, but I don't think so. What I do like about the pint bottles is that you also get a good amount of the GULP! juice, so no need to buy any extra bottles of the recharger juice if you buy that way. That...

    GULP! Good Dealeo at Dick's - and Spare me, please!

    Just a quick note, Dick's (at least the one in Melville, anyway) is having a very decent sale on GULP. Buy 6 bags, get 3 free. Also, that's at the old $7.99 price, not the 2025 $8.99/bag - so more savings. I know, I know, Dick's sucks, I get it. But 9 bags for $49.94 is a good deal, anti-gun BS...

    A buddy rolled by the Windmill barge yesterday. Much higher res shots.
