    Best Morning This Spring

    Great job, John! I was actually on the 9 am Ferry out of Orient that morning and I thought I saw you there. Happy to hear you enjoyed such a great battle and did the perfect release.

    Best Morning This Spring

    I totally agree with your description, Roccus. You can't be daydreaming, looking at the scenery, or the pretty girl in the boat nearby and expect to catch while 3-way bucktailing. :D

    Absolute beat down

    Outstanding!!! Looks like the North Shore sand eel hatch is exploding again like last year. Enjoy it while it lasts!!

    Captain's Table - The "Streak" Continues!

    My family has a very long-standing tradition of bringing all our members together, even some from far out of state, to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend. Since we are all seafood lovers, I have always made it my commitment to catch a fresh Striped Bass for our BBQ Grill as one of the special...

    Beautiful fish. Also like the fancy "mood lighting" on your leaning post!:)

    Captain's Table - Prospecting Today

    I almost forget, but that is also correct, John and Overbored. The venerable "Jelly Worms" were often a hot ticket! I guess they were the precursor to today's Gulp worms.

    Captain's Table -2 Degrees is all it Took!

    3 Way bucktailing in the Gut or the Race is actually more specialized than many folks think. Despite a solid bite yesterday, I actually changed sinker weights at least 3 times throughout the tide to make sure I had the correct presentation. It is also true, those special bucktails have become...

    Captain's Table -2 Degrees is all it Took!

    Amazing how all it took was a change in temperature of only 2 degrees and 4 days’ time to turn on the Bass at Plum Gut! On Monday’s trip my gauge never got above 50 degrees but this morning at 52 degrees I began fishing in a real pea soup fog with a positive attitude. Didn’t take long on the...

    Captain's Table - Prospecting Today

    You are correct, Crabman. Pink Salty Dogs were red hot during those days. I don't think they are even for sale anymore but would probably still work.

    Captain's Table - Prospecting Today

    I have mentioned this before, but you are correct, Overbored. During the famous Weakfish runs of the 70's an 8# fish was not even considered exceptional. Many 10#+ fish were captured and my PB of 13.5# was caught on a whole sandworm one calm night near Jessups. Then came the long drought but in...

    Comment by 'captmike28' in article 'Yellowtail Flounder: Hidden Coastal Treasure of New York'

    Is this a joke? When is the last time anyone actually caught Yellowtail Flounder in the areas suggested, with perhaps the exception of Sandy Hook. In my experience our east end Flounder fishing collapsed over 20 years ago.

    Smallmouth City

    That is one heck of a Smallmouth. Must have been a great fight! Well done, George.

    Late Start, But A Good One

    I'm sure you will put it to good use. Just being able to avoid using the ground tackle on certain days will more than make you smile. Controlling your drift as well as thoroughly working a small piece of structure are also very strong points in its favor. I bet the fish are already nervous!!:D

    Late Start, But A Good One

    Always a great feeling when your boat is floating again! Did you get a chance to try the new Garmin?

    Late Start, But A Good One

    Nice going, John. So, you too have a trolling motor now? I thought you were sharp enough to not need such exotic equipment!! :ROFLMAO: Honestly, I am just jealous! Use it well and catch a ton of fish this season. I'm' sure I will see you out there.

    Captain's Table - Prospecting Today

    Today was prospecting day for me as I decided to check out the Bass action at Orient along with a mix of our traditional species inside Peconic Bay. Bass were at least 10 days late inside the bay this season and it seems the same pattern is happening to the east. Despite a full moon and good...
