    Blackfish Jigs and colors

    Regarding jigs, how can you tell if the hook correct? Also, in his book, John Skinner mentions using a blackfish jig for porgy. The hook looks too big on most I have seen.

    Blackfish Jigs and colors

    Regarding Blackfish jigs, can you elaborate on this. Many mention the "correct hook". What are the things to look for?

    Daiwa reels

    They mentioned that the Penn and Shimano service is great. To paraphrase, they don't skimp and darn near replace everything. I guess that is great service. Funny how busy they are now. I would have thought everyone would panic in May when fluke season opened and they found their reel rusted...

    Daiwa reels

    That is what I asked him. He left a reel (not a Daiwa) at Trophy. I'll follow up with him when I see him.

    Daiwa reels

    I am meeting a friend for lunch. He mentioned he needed a new reel Fluke since Daiwa will not service his because it’s over 5 years old. He said he would never buy another Daiwa reel. Is that lack of support and service for a reel standard? I have a Michell 300 Pro serviced like three years...

    I looked at the Miller Place Bait and tackle site and the Speaker Schedule was posted there. I guess as a vendor, he would get a copy. The Sunday was too low resolution to be readable. Found it at

    That wasn't directed to you. But I guess I didn't make that clear. :)

    Interesting. I hope you get a chance to look deeper into it Cashion rods. I always buy Made in the USA when possible. I have even spent more. I saw the post from OVERBORED saying " Very competitive pricing".

    Books (Good reads) about fishing.

    I never remember reading that Matt Ahern passed. I saw a few of his seminars. He was an excellent speaker. He borrowed the old Henry Ford comment regarding color: (paraphrasing) “Use any color bucktail you want, as long as its white”. I still have the Uncle Josh Bucktail Kit he recommended...

    I thought “Fishing with the Bucktail was an excellent book. I went to have Captain John DeMaio sign it. I tried to set up a charter. Unfortunately, I found out that he had pancreatic cancer and was no longer able to accept charters.

    If you ever want to get people to wear a life vest, they have to read Dark Noon.

    Books (Good reads) about fishing.

    I do not believe I'm going fishing anytime soon in this weather. But a good book can be special. Right now I am starting a John Skinner book, Fishing the Edge. Anyone have any other great fishing books they like to recommend?
