    2nd body of missing kayaker found

    I thought there was a new law (rule?) that Nov 1st, boats under 21 feet mandate the use of life jackets. I was concerned knowing how much clothing I wear in these cold months. I know there is no way I could swim with all the layers. I purchased a Type V PFD one piece full body life jacket. It is...

    Rigs for Blackfishing

    I have not gone Blackfishing in years. But I am thinking of giving it a try. I went on a friends boat. Three guys, three methods: I used the crab and sinker method. The second guy used Blackfish Jigs The third used a snafu rig. They caught more than me. But I think I just have to get the...

    Trolling Motor - Spot Lock

    Are they cheaper for a small, 17-foot boat? I have spots I can get to with a kayak that would get me concerned with my boat. When I heard the cost, I never considered one. Now I see they can be used for trolling and spot lock. Plus, I have never been great at staying on a spot even with 2...

    This was touched on in this post: Knife discussion Leprechaun mentions the 10" Dexter diamond hone and the Messermeister ceramic hone. I purchased them at the last Ward Melville. Not mentioned favorably be Leprechaun, were “What I NEVER use is those dopey "pull-thru" sharpeners, as they remove...

    Chinese Round Belly Knives

    Interesting! I think that it might take some time to get used to that knife. Also, I thought I had relatively sharp knives. Those had to be the sharpest knives I have seen.

    What is it like to drive from Florida to Long Island ?

    You mentioned you wanted to go on vacation in Florida. Here’s an FYI: I was looking for a Corolla XRS. They are rare in NY. I finally found a low mileage model in Florida. The cost of gas, tolls, hotel and food make it and expensive trip I called Samonas Prime Moving & Storage Inc. (Long Island...

    How many of you regularly shop at Tackle Stores ?

    It depends on the shop. If they are much higher, I may purchase something somewhere else. I wanted a Penn reel. It was $100 cheaper on Amazon. That type of purchase I understand. The local who buys one reel does not have the buying power to get discounts. But, having said that, I do buy stuff...

    Green crab soup and climate change

    I learn something new every day. I did not know Green crabs were invasive. Is that what bait shops sell for bait? Seems counter intuitive as I am sure fisherman with left over bait would probably dump the excess.

    Should They Board, or Shouldn't they?

    As stated above, I have very limited experience with getting boarded. But in those few times the officers that boarded have always been very professional.

    Should They Board, or Shouldn't they?

    I guess we will have to agree to disagree. One time I lived in Floral Park, and with my friend, we went to Gary’s Gym in Queens. It the same one that Lou Ferrigno was lifting at in Pumping Iron. But I digress… Leaving the gym, I stopped at a red light. The car behind me beeped his horn. Then...
