    Reynolds Channel

    I suppose I was never lucky enough to have them prepared in a way that I enjoyed eating them as a meal. However, I did eat them smoked and served with crackers, have to say that was very good.

    Surprise catch!

    Can't remember when NY flounder restrictions went into effect, I know it's been years now. Does anyone know if the restrictions have helped this fishery? Have any agencys performed any stock re-assessments to determine if size reduction and creel limits have actually helped flounder rebound? I'm...

    Surprise catch!

    I remember before NY regs made it 2 at 12", we'd fish Jones inlet by the coastguard station in June. Seemed all those big females were leaving the bay on their way into deeper waters. Those were the days! Lol

    Waters still to cold

    Got out yesterday, managed only a few short fluke. Boats running good and the sun was shining so not much to complain about. I have a question for all you seasoned flukers out there. The few reports I've been reading often mention how the water is 'still to cold'. In your opinions, now that the...

    Just curious, what is the water temp in the bays in Maine?

    Maine Cod C&R: You'd Think I Was Fluke Fishing...

    I heard of some winter flounder coming up in Moriches Bay by buoy 11 and the coast guard station. Best month for me was always June but since our season ends May 30 last week of the month I feel would be the best.

    Maine Cod C&R: You'd Think I Was Fluke Fishing...

    Winter flatties, oh those were the days. With NY limit of 2 at 12" almost doesn't pay. Our season ends at the end of this month ( May 30th).

    Blowfish?

    It's never good to assume Avenger, my grandson caught every one of those fish, I was to busy baiting his hook. I didn't say we brought all those fish home (even if it was my right to), we brought home only what we wanted to eat. Don't exactly know where your fishing but on the South Shore of...

    Blowfish?

    Last May my grandson and I had over 75 blowish before we ran out of chum. Most of those fish were 10" - 11" , not sure they get much bigger than that.

    Blowfish?

    Silly Lilly is not what it used to be, they're set up more for eating at food trucks than fishing. Stopped by last spring to pick up some skimmer clam, no go, but the food trucks were there and the tables were all set up. Just saying, thanks though.

    Blowfish?

    Last year around this time there were sooooo many blowfish in the narrows at Moriches Bay you just couldn't drop a jig with gulp without it getting annihilated immediately. I haven't read any reports of anyone fishing for fluke in Moriches? I was curious if there's any talk of action in the area...

    Tightening up screw holes

    Na but thanks, its more than 1 screw and I'm trying to fix an issue not put a bandaid on it. Truth be told a while back I put some pieces of plastic straws to temporarily fix a problem but that only lasts until the screw needs to come out again. Now that I'm retired I'm thinking of doing the...

    Fishbites

    I watched a guy on YouTube slaying blowfish with small pieces he cut with a pair of scissors.

    Tightening up screw holes

    In your opinion would the screw be permanently secured in the hole with the 5 min epoxy?

    New Tog rig? Am I missing something?

    Sounds like the top hook (sliding hook) is embedded into the same crab the snelled hook threads into (variation of a snafu rig). Not sure what you mean about a tangle? Sorry just read the previous reply explaining no tangles. Lol

    Any Blacks left?

    Wrapped the guppy up today, large hopes for next season. Was curious if anyone has boarded any vessels headed towards 17 fathoms? Water temps are still unseasonably warm, wondered if there are any Blacks left in those 102' depths?

    COVER whole boat or just 2/3 ?

    I surprised no one seems concerned about the damage frozen water can do? How often during the winter does snow melt during the day and re-freeze at night. My concern is the expansion and contraction from ice on spider cracks in the gelcoat, fittings, hatch covers, there are so many things. Not...

    Middle Ground and Charles Island

    FW, congrats on your retirement, it may be a bit early but still a new step in your life. Next season don't get frustrated when you want to go but your son has to work, lol. I was hoping your report was going to say you finally found the Tog but you definitely made some lemon with those bass...

    School Me On Blackfish Jigs

    I'm also no sharpie when it comes to blackfish jigs, but I do like a little bit longer shank where it comes out of the leadhead than the bottom sweeper gives you. I also like a hook with a wider throat, I find it hooks the crab better. For myself 5 #'s of drag just won't cut it unless your...

    School Me On Blackfish Jigs

    I've got to wonder if your high number of lost rigs could have something to do with the second hook increasing the potential for hanging into structure? Just a thought,
