16 1/2" is a lot of fish just to be able to take a Seabass home for dinner, but dang if I don't hear different opinions on how to measure them. I believe the DEC says head to tail but there-in lies the rub. It's that darn filament a Seabass has streaming off it's tail. Some say that's part of...
Didn't exactly know where to post this question so I chose here. While fishing on a party boat if you are fortunate enough to be in the pool and catch the largest fish what percentage of your winnings are the mates expecting. I believe there is no exact amount written in stone but I'm also...
Curious if anyone giving fluke a shot in Moriches Bay has found those telltale chunks ripped out of their gulp baits? I would love to get the grandkids out for some blowfish but they get bored pretty quick if there's nothing happening. A few years ago May was a great month to spank those tasty...
Thank you for the input guys. I was thinking something that significant would have had exposure in most of the fishing periodicals. Since I hadn't read anything I was a bit surprised to hear about it. It seems the proposed moratorium is still out for review and opinion but having seen NOAA's and...
I'm not a shark fisherman but I have a question for those who are. Someone told me there has been put in place a two-year moratorium (2022-2023) on Short Fin Mako in federal waters. The retention limit for this species for the next two years is zero. Can anyone validate or debunk if this...
Save the empty line spools after putting new line on your reels, you can put a toggle bolt through the center and chuck the stud end into your drill. It makes removing line from your reels easy piesy, just spin the drill. Use two spools to easily reverse the line on your reels to get to the...
Just trying to understand, when you turn the handle on the reel the spool does not turn or you just don't see any line coming in? My brother in law spooled up his reel a few years ago and the knot he used to fasten his new line to the spool just never got tight, when he turned the reel handle...
Gas prices are affecting just about everything. I recently renewed my on the water tow service, not surprising the cost has increased. I attempted to persuade the representative to possibly keep the same fee I was charged last year. Her response was with the rising cost of fuel the company has...
Well George it's Spring tog time if the boats ready. I find when fishing for tog with jigs its best not to swing at anything that hasn't picked up the jig and started swimming away with it. That's how I do it anyway.
Stopped at the pump saturday after the LI Boat show. When I hit the 10 gal. mark and saw $43.90, that's when it kinda sunk in. I could say how I'm going to limit how and where I go with the boat but I'm thinking once your out chances are you'll go and do what your used to prices be damned. I...
Got out today (Sunday) with my grandson Evan and buddy Dan. Launched out of Pt. Jeff and made our way west to Cranes neck. Had high hopes for one last shot a Blackfish. Weather certainly cooperated, water and wind laid down and it was an absolutely beautiful day. Wish the fish were as...
