    Penn 4400 SS No non reverse

    Don't ask me why but I just ordered a part called a dog from fishermensheadquarters.com. and a kayak net from Amazon lol. The net I needed.

    Backbay blues

    Went out this morning just two days later and could not even catch a snapper! Small unidentified bait was around, but nothing on them, not even terns, just the stinking cormorants. I did have some Gulp! tails bitten off before I called it quits. Hosting a venison feast tomorrow so maybe I...

    FYI: Active Duty, Retired and Disabled Veterans

    Yes, we used to buy from Plessers in Babylon or PC Richard but cheapest prices for us lately have been HD. With Amazon Prime for many years, free S&H from Walmart if over $35., and I can not remember when I last went to the dicks at Dicks for anything. Stocked up on ammo online before Obummer...

    Va id is good. You would have to register with lowes or hd first with it. I don’t think i would buy a washing machine from amazon lol. Tough to return it at kohls.

    Penn 4400 SS No non reverse

    Pete, you worked on an Abu Garcia 5600AB of mine years ago. Worked as it was supposed to until…. I ended up getting Abu Garcia to exchange even steven for their “normal” reels and actually acknowledge that those ‘AntiBacklash’k reels were for “new anglers” to baitcasting reels. Soon they...

    I suspect its like repairing refrigerators and TVs. Just chuck it and buy new.

    Penn 4400 SS No non reverse

    Motor skills and hand/eye not what they were. Can no longer make wooden sailing ship models and must stick with modern warships. More interested in the cost of the likely part and repair at a shop.

    Penn 4400 SS No non reverse

    I have other reels but have had this one for years and wonder if it is worth repairing. You tube seems to indicate that there is a "dog" on one part that when the non-reverse lever is used it stops the handle/crank from back reeling. I didn't think the reel got so much work that it wore that...

    Net needed

    Without breaking the bank, I need to replace my landing net after the hoop separated landing a blue yesterday. I have an old one with a dilapidated net but am unable to separate the hoop from handle and so can't reuse the net from the broken one. Amazon had practically none that did not fold...

    Backbay blues

    What little snappers in the way of quantity has already turned into quality as most in my area are at least 7 and 8 inches long, with most being too long to liveline. But Saturday the first blue of about 18 or 19" was hooked in the lip and ended on a stringer. Using the remaining smaller...

    Been getting 10% off at Lowes and HD for years, but are you are saying that you can order at a PX HD stuff and get the ten off AND no payment to Hochul ? Haven't gone to Mitchel Field in years, maybe I will now.

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

    The average "fisherman" knows nothing of three bluefish, one weakfish, etc., let alone the length on most. Hell, my local bay constables barely know the basics ! Heck, I "schooled" one last year about the blues and weaks.

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

    the vocal minority that own the party boats will never go for a lower bag limit or a slot. As my favorite tackle shop owner in Amityville told me years ago, even if its unlikely, a paying customer wants to have the hope of four fish or a doormat, or both... So long as the commercials rule...

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

    I agree with you regarding the "for hires." They obviously don't care that their legacy will be that of the fate of the winter flounder, whether that was overfishing's fault or not. Having never been on a partyboat I still can see how after spending fifty bucks one could want to bring home...

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

    Still a fan of a fluke slot limit, but why do we need a bag limit of more than two ? this summer has been my worst since the year after Sandy. I have never seen fewer snappers and smaller groups of peanuts (in my area).
