Is it me or is this scary?
Not sure where I read it or if it is true.... But I read to maximize profit and turn over inventory (the pigs), they were sending them to slaughter much younger. The younger pigs did not have the same skin like older pigs and did not make the same quality pork rind. Not sure what changed fir...- BoatGuy

Is it me or is this scary?
Does the info in this thread make you re-think the use of plastics??? At least, if you have a favorite, push the manufacturer for data on digestibility??? I have used Gulp and Fishbites. I’m going to ask. In the meantime, despite the cost, I may go back to spearing. Same thing with bucktails...- BoatGuy

Is it me or is this scary?
Just to follow up... I emailed a few manufacturers and asked them questions regarding the digestibility of their product. None replied. It could mean one of two things: They don’t know due to the fact that they never did a study They do know and do not want to share the data.- BoatGuy

Is it me or is this scary?
So, I have to ask, as I do not know the answer.... All the plastic worms sold at shows....Are they digestable by fish. There are so many: Z Mans, Plugbait, All American Stink, Fishbites, Hogy Sand eels and even sponge strips soaked in Gulp juice. Do the manufacturers make any claims as to...- BoatGuy

Fluke. Seabass, Porgy Regs 2024
May I ask a question regarding the DEC meeting on Jan 31st? Can you elaborate more on it? Where is it? Time? Open to all? I have gone to a few of these. Commercials, Party and Charter Captains and bait shop owners are represented. I assume it is due to their financial interest. Recreational...- BoatGuy

Fluke. Seabass, Porgy Regs 2024
I have always wondered about fish mortality. Right now one the biggest issue for strict regs and reduced biomass may be the discard rate for both recreational, charter/party boat and commercial fishermen. Asking charter or Party boat Captains I know the average of what they assume is that...- BoatGuy

Fluke. Seabass, Porgy Regs 2024
Are they saying the new reulations for fluke will be... "Precautionary default measures include a 20-inch minimum size, 2 fish possession limit, and open season from July 1-August 31." I fish the Port Jeff area (Long Island Sound). I noticed some time ago that May and June I caught my bigger...- BoatGuy

Not sure what this means: These measures are only intended to be used for states/regions which do not comply with the conservation equivalency process. I assume this means that it is a suggestion and if NY does not come up with something “equivalent” we have to go with their regulation??- BoatGuy

YELLOW JACKET ?
My Father used to say: "You leave them alone and they will leave you alone”. How NOT true. One stung me on the back while working on a car. I didn’t even know he was there. It felt like someone put a cigarette out on my back. I have been stung more times this year than ever before. I have...- BoatGuy

Clams on the BBQ
My wife makes an excellent linguine with clam sauce. But her sister did something that was different. She threw the clams on the BBQ, and after they opened, she tossed them in a sauce that was excellent. I asked what was in it and she just sort of threw it together. Anyone have a good sauce...- BoatGuy

Lets Talk Boat Batteries
I have to agree. I used to buy inexpensive batteries. They didn't last too long. Then I tried the Odyssey 34M-PC1500ST TROLLING Thunder Marine Dual Purpose Battery. I use my electronics all day and it has never left me stranded. But that said, I check the price. It is up over $100 from when I...- BoatGuy
