    Daiwa reels

    My brother purchased a Diawa Sealine 50H years ago and about 2 years later Diawa said they wouldn't fix it. I purchased 2 of those reels on Ebay for about $35 Each. Very solid reel, way better than a Jigmaster.

    Long Island Emergency rooms are a disgrace !

    I'll look into that Ablation thing. This sounds very scary - Doctors sometimes stop a heart and start it again to get the heart rate stable again. Fire Dept. Paramedics stopped my mothers heart while she was laying in bed and started it again. Heart rate was normal again. Amazing they can stop a...

    Long Island Emergency rooms are a disgrace !

    An ambulance took my mother to St. Joseph's hospital after her AFIB flared up this morning. She arrived there around 5 in the morning. Emergency room was packed , my mother sat there an hour before a doctor saw her. Mercy, St. Francis Emergency Rooms are almost always packed with people. I...

    Wanna build a rod but don't have a table-top wrapping setup to spin on the threads?

    I bought a rod making kit on Amazon for about $20 . Came with nice guides, thread and Epoxy. I'm putting new guides on my old Ugly Stik Tiger Rods. The Best Rods I ever owned . They'll never break. The 6 Foot 6 light medium rod they sold has the nicest action . The new ones I don't care for.

    Walmart Fishing Reel Clearance

Almost every reel I have is a Penn real made in the US , I just have 2 Okuma reels and 2 Diawa Sealine 50 reels. American made Penn reels on Ebay are cheaper...

    Trump Opens Marine National Monument in Atlantic to Commercial Fishing

    One of the few things I'll criticize Trump about. This is to benefit the fish markets/ food corporations more than anything. You'd think with all the Wealthy Sportfishermen they'd just leave those marine sanctuaries in place.

    Alternative to a Cross Sound Bridge

    I read it would cost $45 Billion to build a Cross Sound Bridge. Instead of building that, why don't they make the LIE and The Cross Bronx 2 level roads and build a New 8 lane George Washington Bridge and Throgs Neck Bridge with 2 levels ?? Would probably cost less than $45 Billion. The Mario...

    outboard repair can be very expensive and frustrating when not fixed

    My mechanic made 2 mistakes repairing my outboard, first mistake he didn't make sure the gasket was flat when he put the lower unit on after extending the shaft to 25 inch's, instead it was folded backwards and lower unit oil seeped out and water flooded my lower unit. 2nd mistake- he didn't...

    outboard repair can be very expensive and frustrating when not fixed

    4 strokes will end up costing a lot more than 2 strokes to service . 2 stroke direct injections were the way to go , the manufacturers went 4 stroke to get more service revenue from customers.

    outboard repair can be very expensive and frustrating when not fixed

    I wish there were Outboard Mechanics who'd come to your home and charge $75 an hour. $190 an hour that Marinas charge is ridiculous. You'd think there would be a bunch of older guys who'd do it to supplement their retirements , $75 an hour is way better than $16 an hour at Walmart. Make sure you...

    New Cod Recovery Plan

    I can't answer that. I'm just wondering why Cod came back so quickly in the past and now they aren't? I don't think it's climate change because Cod are scarce in Maine and the water temps there are lower than the lowest water temps Long Island ever had. When you see Fluke, Winter Flounder ...
