    Inaugural fluke trip a success! Headed out with George, our site host for the first of hopefully many deep fluke trips this season. Had fish right away, a 19.5 and 22" for George, who was high-hook today. Made my usual drifts and we quickly put another two in the box to 23+". Then the tide...

    I've never used it, as expensive lures don't live long where I fish, just the same as my cheaper home-made ones. I have a story similar to Overbored though. Like most others on the ocean fluke grounds I normally fish the GULP! 6" grubs, in the usual colors, pink, white, salmon, nook chicken...

    One of the few remaining great pleasures of my life is having the boat run like a top on launching - especially after a tough Spring's prep. LET THE GAMES BEGIN ! ! !

    Well, it was a S-ton of work, both mechanical and cosmetic. But she came out looking even better than recent Springs, because I polished before I waxed. I don't really like doing that on my 38-yr old gelcoat - there's only so much left on her, but the results came out excellent. Love me my...

    Not sayin' I buy into this sort of thing, but after two exhausting days of Spring prep, this has GOT to be a sign - especially so, given the boat's name.

    Every ground fishery setback pushes me a little further in that direction. Its both incremental as well as cumulative. We’ll see how it all goes this Season.

    https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/trump-administration-lifts-stop-work-order-5-billion-new-york-offshore-wind-project I was wrong about the timing. And the reason for the stop order order as well. Excerpt: "Equinor said it would make an updated economic assessment in the second quarter, while...

    Just read that Pres. Trump set aside the stop work order on the wind farm outside JI. Work to recommence after some B.S. environmental impact studies are completed. Probably re-starting construction sometime late in '26. Thanks, Mr. President. 🤬 Another nail in the coffin. Never a clear head...

    Garmin Radar Error Code 6 - Inadequate Voltage, anyone have any clues?

    I'm not familiar with the specific quirks that Garmin radars might exhibit, having had a Raytheon (JRC) radar since '96. But certain constants should be there. I would start with checking the power cable at the coupler for whatever minimum voltage your unit requires to operate. If that checks...

    Circle Snaggers

    How’s it gonna work on the snagging with those turned-in hook points? I really struggle to see it being effective. But I could be wrong. Anyone try such a contraption?

    I know I'm beating a dead horse

    What do I think? You've fished with me enough to know how completely disgusted I am with the current NYS regulations - particularly with respect to the inequities between our adjoining States and us. I've reached the point that if I get any kind of reasonable offer for my boat this season, I'll...

    Spearing Shortage

    You can do that with the green killies. The big striped silver ones (that I always preferred) don't last an hour without fresh, clean water.

    Green Crabs

    No need to worry about using dead vs alive. After the crabs get a taste of my shears I can assure the LEO that they are most definitely dead. Still, having more than 50 crabs at one time is technically ticket-able. I have yet to see it enforced. I used to pot my own greens and been stopped by...

    And Another Blackfishing Myth Bites the Dust

    I found these videos fascinating. I understand that Pete's results were obtained under a specific set of conditions, fairly shallow water and light tidal flow. But come on, it wasn't a single one-off confused tog that bit. I wish we could do this on the offshore grounds, and just maybe I can...
