    Lat/Lon conversions

    Hey fellas, about a month ago we decided to get in on the Seabass fishing by the San Diego wreck. I'd never been there before so I got some coordinates from the web. Seems they were useless because the format they used didn't match any of the three formats my Furuno offered. Is there a way to...

    Pool fish

    Nice job Hunter, if you don't mind I'm curious how you smoke your Porgies. Do you scale them and smoke then whole, or filet them and leave the skin on? Do you use a charcoal grill/ smoker or something electric. Perhaps a more mild wood like apple or go for the gusto with hickory? Thanks for any...

    Trailers on Ny parkways

    So I know it 'is' legal to trailer your boat on Meadowbrook Pky heading south (exit at Loop pky to launch at Pt. Lookout) as long as you access the parkway from Merrick Rd. I was curious if its legal to do the same on Wantagh pky. Also can you trailer your boat the length of Ocean Pky from Jones...

    Finally!

    What an absolutely beautiful day on the water today! You know what could make a beautiful day even better? How about finally putting together an awesome limit of nice fluke. They didn't come easy though, had to weed through some 30-40 shorts. And I wish I had a dollar for every 18-18 3/4" fluke...

    Future fishaholics

    I had the privilege of having not one but both of my grandsons out on the boat this morning. My 11 yr old has been fishing with me pretty regularly and he's gotten pretty darn proficient but today my 9yr old grandson joined us for his first ever fishing trip and I'm just busting with pride! We...

    Port Jefferson

    Got out Sunday, NOAA weather said North Shore would be a better bet so launched out of Pt. Jefferson. SW wind with an outgoing tide made for a quick drift by buoy 11 but had no tbl holding bottom with a 1 1/2 oz bucktail. Fished out the tide with some short fluke but no keepers, significantly...

    Finally!

    My buddy and I got out this morning and fished some offshore wrecks between Moriches and Fire Island. Clam was the ticket today for us, tried a jig with a gulp teaser but no takers. Had to fish through quite a few shorts to get our limit but the fish we kept were the kind you don't have to...

    Fluke/Scup

    Thanks for the report, looks like North Shore fishing success this year is going to require some extra effort and quite a bit of luck. Porgies seem like the only sure thing, gona have to invest in some light tackle to make it challenging. Keep those reports coming.

    Seabass?

    So with the fluke not really cooperating for me this year I was eagerly awaiting the opening of Seabass season here in NY. I was able to get out on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this week. We fished for them in the Sound at Cranes Neck as well as the Middle Grounds. What the heck is going on...

    Yesterday

    Got out for the opening of Seabass with my 10 yr old grandson, he broke the ice with his first fish being 16". Weather was good till current slacked up around 1:30 and the breeze just dropped out. Had to put the boat in gear and take a ride to create our own breeze. We went for long ride and...

    Frustrated

    Fluke fishing seems to be much better on the North shore (surprising to me). A lot of shorts but a few keepers thrown in to make it interesting. I really just love being on the water, catching fish is a plus!

    Frustrated

    I was worried about that early June, the blowfish were ravenous, but I haven't had any problems working gulp tails the last two weeks or so.

    Frustrated

    I have been very optimistic with regard to fluke this 2020 season. Tackle shops preached with covid19 less pressure from commercial boats would give fluke a chance to populate our bays and shoreline. I fished Moriches yesterday (thursday) both in the ocean as well as the bay, total fluke caught...

    Any Squid along South shore?

    Typically this time of year on the South shore I'm used to seeing draggers in the 70-90' depths. I always assumed they were dragging squid. I guess with covid-19 things are a bit different as I don't see many draggers at all. Has anyone marked squid between Moriches and Shinnecock? I haven't...

    Fluke

    They look like fatties, certainly can't complain about dinner. Nice job

    Way to end a long day

    Fished out of Moriches Inlet this morning, we breezed into the ocean and headed west in search of bunker. Didn't take very long, there were schools as far as the eye could see. We bounced from pod to pod until we reached the new inlet west of Smith Pt. Pavilion. Not a friggin touch, nothing...
