    Long Island Towns have to band together and get the DEC to Stock Winter Flounder

    The concern with any aquarium raised fish is that you will introduce disease to the wild stock if released. I think that was the point trying to be made. This is why many in the natural sciences are reluctant to release pen raised fish into the wild.

    Keepah Gets A Freezer Pardon...

    If you have a frost free freezer any fillets will get the moisture sucked right out of them in no time. I bought a stand alone freezer that is not frost free and it makes a big difference in shelf life.

    Waters still to cold

    Unless you are fishing all day and fishing all the tides I think it is hard to gauge how well the fluking is. Based on the various reports I am seeing it seems that the fluke have made a decent showing so far with respectable sized fish. The bite changes day to day. Last year everyone was...

    2020 Maine Cod Haul Lowest in History

    Lot of guys bashing commercial fishermen here..... While I oppose drag nets etc... all of us recreational fishermen owe a big thanks to commercial guys who were the ones that got foreign commercial fleets off our coasts decades ago.

    Why I Stopped Watching Wicked Tuna

    Years ago when the show was only a few seasons old I was in the Outer Banks fishing. We sailed from the same dock where they film he buying scenes of WT. I asked if the show was legit and referenced the episode where Marciano slammed the boat into the bridge. I thought that scene was...

    Captains Table - Forget February, Think Spring (Specials)

    Thanks Capt, the reason I ask if you are the mate is I was curious how tipping works on a boat like yours. I don't mean to come across wrong here, I always tip 20% to the mates but if you as owner are running the boat solo, are you still expecting a tip. What is customary on such a trip?

    Montauk Saturday Fluke

    Tried one last shot for fluke on Saturday. Arrived into Star Island Marina and the flags were not moving at all. Sailed around the point and was greeted by a beautiful sunrise. Had high hopes. Started fishing during a total slack tide with some fish coming over the rails...

    COBIA

    Caught this monster a few years ago. Capt said it was the largest anyone has ever caught on his vessel. I never weighed or measured it. If I had to guess I would say about 55-60" in length.
