    Fluke, sea bass and scup

    The laws are basically about possession. I fish the Port Jeff area. If I cross into Connecticut waters fish legally caught in NY may be closed/illegal in Connecticut and visa versa. The last few seasons blackfish opened in NY before Conn. If i caught legal black fish in NY and crossed in Conn...

    NEW YORK BOAT SHOW

    George Remember the old show at the NY Coliseum at Columbus Circle? The building was packed with products and people. More empty space now at the Javits than display space. Not worth it anymore The COVID restrictions don't help either. I don't want to deal with all the mask requirements in NY...

    NEW YORK BOAT SHOW

    Used to attend every year for something to do in the winter. No point in going back. The show gets smaller and smaller every year. Not work the cost of the train and attendance. Years back the LIRR had a boat show package which combined the LIRR fare and the boat show ticked and you saved a few...

    Reliving my childhood

    I can help you with local knowledge. Sound Beach is the Town of Brookhaven. You can buy the season pass. Seems you are in my senior citizen age bracket, so the cost is reduced to $60. This allows use of Port Jeff, Mt. Sinai, Stony Brook and many Town ramps on the south shore as well. You will...

    Reliving my childhood

    Pretty Funny: I grew up fishing the Bar Beach area as well, and now fish mostly out of Port Jeff and Mt Sinai-small world sometimes. The boat rental place in Roslyn was called Bills. Bill had a yard man-helper who had a wonderful personality- we nick named him Frankenstein if that is any clue.

    With Cuomo Gone Will New York Push a Saltwater License?

    Mario Cuomo had a Westchester politician named Brodsky) not allow the gamefish bill to come to the floor for a vote. It was another-no pun intended-bait and switch by Mario. Only the $150 lifetime license money was refunded. I paid the $10 annual. Those were never refunded

    With Cuomo Gone Will New York Push a Saltwater License?

    George: you stole my thunder. The lottery money was supposed to go to education and lowering our taxes. This was through a dedicated fund. Somehow the money got moved in to the "general fund".

    With Cuomo Gone Will New York Push a Saltwater License?

    Remember NY State lost in court to the six east end towns regarding the saltwater fishing license. The six east end towns claimed there fishing rights were granted to them by the Donegan Patent. The courts agreed. The Donegan Patents were the original land grants from England to the east end...

    Should We Consider a Slot for Tog!

    Capt FP Read the second paragraph of your post. I realize the violations were in Ct. The NY State DEC does nothing to address the illegal poaching on the NY side

    Should We Consider a Slot for Tog!

    Overboard-Agreed!! As the population of other species declined, the focus was put on blackfish. When I was growing up in the sixties and early seventies, blackfish were looked upon as a "by-catch" while targeting other fish. We would catch them in the western sound and the general rule was...

    Should We Consider a Slot for Tog!

    The fish over 16-inches are few and far between. I am closing in on 65 yrs but there were many larger fish before we had regulations. I have been blackfishing since my teens!! I am for regulations, just ones that make sense. The fish over 16 are being taken. A slot limit would put the...

    Should We Consider a Slot for Tog!

    Slot size for tautog is worth a try. Pretty obvious that the current regulations are doing anything. Very few keepers-none for me this fall. Did not fish as much as last year either. The blackfish pots also need to be addressed but that is an issue for another day

    Port Jefferson-Someone turned the fan off for a few hours!!

    Fished for blackfish today with Ray from Home Depot on a strong moon tide.. Anchored up near Old Field Lighthouse. There were about ten boats scattered about the area. Got some really large Porgies on the green crabs. Took home about 6 for the table. There was some life on the black fish...
