    Jets

    My prediction: Expectations will still be high week 2, and will be dashed. Everyone will give up on the Jets and they will win week 3 to keep us invested for what will be a disappointing season. Why does their quarterback seem lime an old man?! Let's Go Mets!!

    RI is too easy

    My buddy Bob has a friend Henry who lives near Newport. He's a member of Freedom Boat Club. He's a boater, not a fisherman. Bob convinced Henry that if we came up, we could show him how to catch blackfish. Henry told us the boats have downscan and sidescan. We were supposed to leave out of Pt...

    Bass

    Actually hooked up with a shark on the first drift. Chased it down twice, then decided to break it off rather than spend the whole night fighting it on bass gear.

    Bass

    My buddie Wayne and I had an epic trip with Capt. Hugh Chancey, Chancey Charters. We diamond jigged a ton of sea bass and porgies as we waited for the sun to set, then great bass action. One didn't make it, and this 40+ fish looks like someone took a nibble of its tail on the way up!

    Bass bite

    My understanding/experience is with mojos (8-20 oz each and sometimes a pair) you use braid and don't sweep the broom, but with wire and a parachute jig (3 oz), you really work for the hookup, then work to pull in the fish on wire, with the boat in gear, since there is no line stretch. Are you...

    A New Era of Fishing with DAIWA 24 Samurai Braided Line

    How does it knot to Fluoro? Do the standard braid knots work? Does the hard smooth surface bite into the leader for a secure knot or does it slip? Inquiring minds want to know!

    Coronavirus

    Note that the bill has nothing to do with Covid-19. It does not prevent you from wearing a mask to stop spreading your germs or catch someone else's. It specifically exempts people who wear masks for health, safety, “religious or cultural purposes, or for the peaceful celebration of a holiday...

    Captain's Table - Eastern LI Sound Action

    If you provide him with the tide phase, jig size, fish size and fish number data, R7 will be happy to plot and correlate it for you to optimize the correct jig size for each tide phase, and give you the confidence interval and standard deviation!

    George, you're out of business, LOL: I asked what bait to use for fluke and where to go. the answer is a bit general and not sure I agree 100% since I've caught big fluke in 80-90 feet, and it did not mention sea robin strips or even fluke belly or spearing. It also confuses live bait with dead...

    And the question of fishing versus travel: Yes, even if you are not actively fishing, you are still subject to possession regulations. This means that any fish or marine species you have in your possession must comply with the size and possession limits set by the regulations. Always ensure you...

    So here is the inconvenient follow-up: For striped bass, federal waters (beyond 3 miles from shore) are closed to fishing. Therefore, there are no size or possession limits for striped bass in federal waters because fishing for them is prohibited.

    Here's the answer to another often debated question: Yes, you can travel back to Montauk with a striped bass caught near Block Island, but you must comply with both state and federal regulations during your journey. Make sure you adhere to the size and possession limits for striped bass as...

    Here is the answer to perhaps the most misunderstood reg.: does a boat leaving from NY and catching a fish in Conn follow NY or Conn regs? A tad incomplete, but accurate. When fishing in Connecticut waters, you must follow Connecticut's fishing regulations, regardless of where you are from...

    ><)))):> SIMPLE DAYS GONE BY GROWING UP,,WAS GREAT BACK THEN <:))))><

    Amazing that those free spirited go everywhere, do everything kids grew up to be overprotective helicopter parents. What amazes me is all the kids are skinny. We ate nothing but crap and were skinny. Today's kids eat a much healthier diet, and are twice the size. I blame it on less activity and...

    Length & Girth To Determine Aprox Weight Of Stripers

    I look at the bass reported in the party boat posts as being 40# . When I catch a bass that big, its a 40! Why ruin things with math and science.

    Here's a figure from a standing assistance device patent (US 11,986,431) I just got for one of our clients. A lightweight portable energy transfer device specifically to help the inventor's father stand up from kneeling in his garden. I hope the picture posts.
