    The fishing on either side of the canal is top notch compared to the west, no sympathy :)

    Hangkai Chinese outboards

    It's a copy of a Yamaha I heard, I'm calling up dealers in the area if they service those engines. Hangkai is the biggest Chinese brand out there. I'll probably just run it in a tub of fresh water from time to time and just have it on the back of my boat just in case. Maybe I'll use it 1 or 2...

    Hangkai Chinese outboards

    How can they still sell 2 stroke outboards in the US ? See plenty of them on Amazon and Ebay ? I'm thinking of getting a 12 HP Hangkai as a backup motor on my 25 foot Panga Boat. Was on the ocean a few weeks back and my motor went into limp mode and only allowed me to go 2 knots all the way...

    SS United States to become world's largest artificial reef

    NY would never do that. If you look carefully you notice NY doesn't spend a dime when reef material is added. Donated material, scrap material , donated labor. All they contribute is red tape.

    No shortage of fish

    Sounds like you drifted the outgoing down to the Meadowbrook. I love fishing that stretch from the Wantagh Bridge /Jones Beach Piers down to the Big M.Nice getting out super early to get blues on the surface before the crowds. Read pink bucktail teasers are catching best. I'm still worried...

    Started out nice, nightmare at the end today

    All Hands, I think you're right about the cause, I checked the throttle cable by shifting the throttle handle and it's still connected . Must be a cooling issue, I hope it has nothing to do with the lower unit that was recently repaired. Had the shaft extended to 25 inch's. It leaked oil and let...

    Finally!

    I wish there were places for non residents to launch on the North Shore like there was a gazillion places on the South Shore for The North Shore residents to launch. Nassau County has to step up and build ramps in all the North Shore Harbors . The State Ramp at Oyster Bay was poorly designed...

    Fluke fishing.

    Only 1 Party boat I'll never go on and that's the Capt. Al in Point Lookout. Had run ins with that guy over the years, shame because I have wonderful memories going night Blue fishing on the Al in the mid 1970's . a classic Party Boat run by a hot head. My father kept his boat on Woodcleft Canal...

    Looking for flat calm seas and all I see is 3-5 foot seas with occasional 5-6-9 foot seas. All week long!

    Bluefish and Fluke

    Got out around 7 AM , launched my boat at Wantagh Park. Headed over to the Loop Bridge to see if the Fluke were still there ( haven't been out the last 3 weeks) , on the way there I saw a huge bluefish blitz going on between The Jones Beach Pier and The Meadowbrook Bridge, they were breaking on...

    I have a trolling rod. I need to buy a reel. Which reels are compatible with my rod

    A rod that big should have at least a Penn 6/0. Buy all your reels used on Ebay, you'll save a bundle. I purchased a Fiblink 30-50 pound class trolling rod with roller guides and purchased a used 4/0 Penn Senator ( almost like new) and the rod and reel Combo cost me about $80 total. A Fiblink...

    Jones Inlet Claims its first Boat of the Season

    I wish they'd make a deep channel close to the East Jetty because usually the breaking waves start in the middle of the inlet and move towards the west. Growing up my father always warned us about the West Bar , but a lot of times I go across the West Bar closer towards the beach just to avoid...

    135-Pound Bluefin Tuna Caught in Raritan Bay in a tin boat

    12 gallon fuel tank in a tiny boat like that ? My 25 Panga Boat with 50 HP has a 9 gallon tank and I have enough fuel for 3 full day bay trips. This week I'm going out 2 or 3 miles out of Jones Inlet to troll for Bonito, Spanish Mackerel , Bluefish, I'll troll 2 rods rigged with daisy chains of...

    Jones Inlet Claims its first Boat of the Season

    I ran aground in Jones Inlet about 12 years ago . Was going out in my deep keeled Lobster Boat , I was about 200 feet off the East Jetty ( Inside the Inlet) when I ran aground. Terrifying being stuck in the sand with a strong outgoing tide pushing your boat every which way . Me and my father...

    West end bay still hot for our interclub showdown!

    Hoping there's an offshore fluke bite near the Hempstead reef like we had last year. Was nice trolling out there for Bonito, Spanish Mackerel , Bluefish last summer from Jones out to the Hempstead Reef and then Fluking a mile West of the reef. So far I'm happy catching all the shorts I want at...
