    And That’s That Got her home this morning. Time to Winterize and get the shrink wrapper over here.

    It wasn't agita I was concerned about. The "Italian curse" is more like it! And I wasn't wrong about it hitting me this morning, by the way. There was a time I could cover a plate of pasta with red pepper flakes. Not anymore, for sure. Uggh, TMI, amirite?

    Last of 2025 Last trip of the season. Headed to my favorite local reef with Capt. Mike and RobbiePav, right to the numbers where Robbie had fish yesterday. West breeze against the incoming made anchoring a bit of a problem. Clean miss on first try (first tries are usually "for practice"...

    Mediterranean Blackfish Wifey cooked again. This is another excellent dish. Recipe follows images: https://share.google/4llV5X2WJwu32hE9w

    There's no end to the rods out there that would meet your needs. But offering rod recommendations on-line is a difficult matter because everyone's idea of the "Perfect" rod is about 80% subjective vs 20% objective. First, if you are concerned about casting leadheads out from a drifting boat...

    Answering my own question - yes, Gen5 Revo X is available in a 5.4:1 gear ratio. Don't know if its still called the "Winch," but its the one you want.

    Does the Revo X still come in a "Winch" model, with around a 5:1 retrieve ratio? If so, that's the one to look at. If not, I highly recommend the Tatula 150P as an excellent choice. I bought one a few seasons ago, and liked it so much I bought a second for another of my setups. Ironically, it...

    Wifey Cooked Tonite Broiled Blackfish over roasted potatoes, onions, Kalamata olives, baby plum tomatoes, black pepper, parsley, white wine and a touch of low-salt Adobo Seasoning. A squeeze of lemon when plated. I have no idea where she got the recipe, but its a restaurant-quality dish.

    Current and Blackfish

    Here mid-South Shore I’m no fan of blackfishing on a New or Full moon. Having said that, I’m sailing Thursday, right on the New Moon. This time of year we sail when the wind is down - and then hope for the best.

    I used that model yesterday with 1.5 and 2oz jigs. A VERY nice piece.

    Really Nice Morning's Fishing Sailed solo (again!) on a gorgeous ocean to my favorite local reef. Passed a fleet off the Pink Hotel fishing in 35' under huge clouds of birds. Wasn't close enough to see bent rods, but they had to be doing something over there, the birds were going nuts...

    Rick was anchored 150’ from me and Robbie. Same results at the “tog nursery grounds.”

    Headed out solo - again. Between charter captaining, bear hunting, surgical knee repairs, and every-other-weekend kid custody, my regulars are "all booked up!" So solo it was. Anyway, found significant bird life at 40', some top splashes under them. Meh, no interest. So done with bass. Got to...

    BTW Overbored, just wanted to mention that my redone Cape Fear (it's in the seabass picture) is really killin' it on the inshore blackfish grounds. Its moderate action and sensitive tip are right in my sweet zone. Not quite as sensitive as my Proteus SS H, but plenty good in its own way. I...

    Blackfish poached in fresh marinara over fettuccini Had to do justice to some really nice fillet. Whipped up a fairly simple "pan marinara," using six over-ripe plum tomatoes and a bottle of Mutti Passata (highly recommended!). Thin sliced red bell pepper, capers, imported Italian green...

    Sunday Blackfishing 10/26 Ran over to one of my local reefs with Robbie P. for a really nice day of combo-catching. Got right on my "latest preferred bottom" right around 7:15 - turned out that I didn't have to lift the anchor the rest of the trip. One stop shopping, with some up and back...
