    When was the last time we had a Spring Mackerel season off Long Island ?

    These were Boston Mackerel. Schools would stretch for miles and miles along the south shore

    When was the last time we had a Spring Mackerel season off Long Island ?

    Mid April to late May when I was a kid. All off the south shore. See the old party boat ads from the 60,'s and 70's. It used to be so good the Sheepshead Bay fleet would sail up the East River to catch them in Western sound. This was usually around Memorial Day Weekend. Then they would move...

    Do the toll Cameras at the NYC bridges check your vehicles registration/inspection ?

    Should be able to go on the DMV website and renew it on line. They never asked about an inspection when I register mine every spring. BTW Trailer registrations in NY expire on Dec 31st. The good part is trailers are pro rated. If you register now you only pay for Sept thru December.

    Surprise, surprise, surprise!! Influx of armchair boaters causes rise in boating accidents!!

    Have to agree. It is the "it's all about me mentality" Seems boating has gotten more dangerous in the last two years. More boats on the water and more untrained people at the wheel.

    Laws for kayaks ?

    The Good Samaritan law shields the average citizen from lawsuits for assisting fellow citizens/boaters Ask any attorney you know about this law, they will clarify it for you. NY state wants the average citizen/boater to assist another boater in distress

    Advice Needed - Fishing Falkner Island for the First Time

    Pretty much the only thing biting in the sound right now is porgies. You can drift for them using a small hook with clams or worms. You could try drifting for fluke but that has been hit or miss, mostly miss. You may get a few fluke but most dont make the 19 in minimum size. Fishing in the...

    Why is boat soap so expensive?

    surfactants break down fat, and waxy substances Dish soap needs to break down fat, cooking oils ect

    Why is boat soap so expensive?

    The above is correct. Dish soap has surfactants in it. They will strip the wax off the car or boar. Once and a while you can get away with dish soap but don't use it all the time.

    Long Island sound

    Fall is best for stripers and blues. The last few falls have been a challenge to say the least. Fluke is usually good early-except this year. It never really got going at all. You could try for fluke now but is mostly shorts. wish I had more encouraging information to give you.

    Will the DEC ever build a boat launching ramp on Peconic Bay ????

    Stopped by today. The site and ramp are beautiful. Seems to be some additional land that could be used for parking. Having only 33 spots for cars and trailer are a concern. Some of the site is still being developed. There is a wash down station that is not operational yet.

    Will the DEC ever build a boat launching ramp on Peconic Bay ????

    They need to build a ramp in Orient State Park. Orient by the Sea has closed the ramp so there is no ramp nearby to launch a boat. NY State owns the park, so it should not be all that difficult to build a boat ramp on their own property. I know, I know It's NY State Parks and NY State DEC...
