    How Long Can This Continue? Tog Slaughter

    I wish that was the case. When I see 3 Freeport Party Boats sailing daily for Cod I'll say they're back. That was amazing in the 1980's driving down to Freeport early in the morning and the whole end of Woodcleft Canal was a bee hive of activity with the Starstream 2, The Super Spray and the...

    Do Marina's sell Ethanol free Gas ????

    Sorry for the late reply ., I had the flu. I'm not concerned using the ethanol gas in my main engine because I use 2 or 3 gallons a trip and I can just empty the 6 or 7 gallons remaining into my car after it sits for more a week or two. With the Chinese motor I ain't taking chances with the fuel.

    How Long Can This Continue? Tog Slaughter

    Fiction? , LOL , tell me where all the Cod went and why they aren't coming back ? How's the commercial cod fishing up in Maine ? what's the recreational limit up there ? 1 cod a man ? Can't be Global warming up there , must be something else like illegal fishing. I saw the whole cycle with cod...

    Do Marina's sell Ethanol free Gas ????

    Haven't purchased gas at a Long Island marina in years because I only purchased Diesel fuel. Do they sell Ethanol free Gas? Insane if they don't knowing it can be much more destructive to a boat than a car/lawnmower. I checked a website that lists all the gas stations around NY that sell...

    They should give part of the fine to people who report the violation. The bad guys know 9 times out of 10 they won't get caught , so they do what they want. I wish the towns would step up and aggressively go after all those bad guys. First offense should be a $5000 fine , not for one short...

    Combo Chartplotter/FF??

    I wish the fish finders today had knobs you can turn to increase/ decrease power and the depth. Like the Sitex paper recorders in the 1980's. I have the Humminbird 7 inch G3 Mega Image. It was made in Alabama.

    Safety certification

    I remember in 1985 when a Big Sea Ray boat raced under the Loop Bridge in the West End and rammed a boat with 2 guys from Ireland onboard and killed them. That's why there's a 5 MPH speed limit under bridges. Should've had this course years ago for every new boater. Don't mind taking the...

    Fishing Compliance Checks – More Poachers Bagged

    Shame those officers are the enforcement arm of the radical far left. I look at them different now like they're an occupying force. Looks like those blackfish were 10 inch's long, once they get illegally caught fish onto trucks and transported the fish inland to a state like Ohio, authorities...

    Capt. Dave in Sheepshead Bay

    Looked at Capt. Dave's Website - That party boat is 92 feet long and has 2 - 400 HP Detroit Diesels . Cruises at 20 knots- WOW ! Built in 1962. That's not a lot of HP for a Party Boat that size , Some 45 foot Lobster Boats have 600 HP.

    Whats going on in the World

    This shouldn't be considered political, so do you think the US should/can purchase Greenland ? Did a little research- according to a 2009 law, the people of Greenland can declare independence from Denmark if they wish and only the people of Greenland will decide that. 57,000 people live on...

    New Hampshire also stocks winter flounder. NY was afraid to stock because they worried about disease. All NY spends money on are DEC Officers who give out tickets. If you look at everything Saltwater the DEC has been involved with , they never spend anything . The artificial reef material/labor...

    I miss drifting for Whiting near Ambrose Tower, at 17 Fathoms . On a nice calm day it was like fishing for Fluke. They disappeared so quickly , I remember going to 17 Fathoms in early May 1991 and we caught a bunch of whiting drifting there. Nothing the next year , nothing the next 33 years...

    Re: Weakfish over 10 pounds- probably the small weakfish are able to swim thru the nets and the big ones get caught. That's the only explanation I can think of. Cod have been beaten down so far that fish can't live to be 40 pounds.

    Bluefish disappeared in the 40's and 50's , maybe they just relocate to some place else for a while. If you look at all the fisheries, just whiting and winter flounder never returned. Maybe Whiting just moved offshore for a while ? Maybe they move back inshore again . Or maybe whiting are like...

    Those Raritan Bay Flounder survived because they probably summered in water where the commercials couldn't target them. Looks like anglers over targeted them and the floundering isn't good there anymore. At least 15 years the Russians pounded the fish stocks off the East Coast and only winter...

    I was also 8 years old in 1972 . I was lucky to spend 2 summers out in Montauk-1972,1973 . I remember going out there almost every weekend during the summer and the 5 of us slept on our cabin cruiser docked at Snug Harbor Marina. 1973 we docked at Star Island Marina , I remember going into...

    When Deer take advantage of Sunny Days

    One time I was up at my Chenango County property and was driving down a road and I spooked a herd of bucks . Unbelievable, I saw 7 or 8 Bucks with 6,8, 10 points go sprinting away all in a line.

    Which state has better inshore fishing , NY or Florida?

    Have you ever gone sailfishing in the Keys ? Very easy renting a boat there and fishing for them on the reef. Sometimes it's non stop action in early winter.

    Which state has better inshore fishing , NY or Florida?

    I remember fishing the Juno Pier and it was like fishing on a Party boat , lined with fishermen who were catching nice King Mackerel and Bluefish. Saw guys walk off with a barrel of fish. No doubt the offshore fishing is better, but inshore I didn't see much action the 25 years I've been down...

    Which state has better inshore fishing , NY or Florida?

    All the times I fished inshore Florida, the Florida Keys was the best . You drop a chum bag in the water there and 5 minutes later there's a gazillion fish swimming near your boat. Great Sail fishing on the Reef as well . I like how shallow it is off the West Coast. Thanks for the Info.
