    Alibaba Pickup Truck Campers

    Saw a You Tube video about a guy who purchased a Camper Top on Alibaba for his Nissan Frontier Truck. About $1400 shipped to your door. Guy said it was really good quality, just took a long time to ship it. Sure beats paying $4000. Made out of Aluminum. Very easy to install. The hard top Torneau...

    Flounder

    They survived up there because they could summer in the bays up there and not go in the ocean. Raritan Bay Flounder survived because they were out of reach of the draggers.

    Flounder

    Yeah, I remember in the early 1980's when the Flounder migrated down Reynolds Channel and either exited out Jones or Debs Inlet. It was easiest fishing ever so close to the dock. Across from the Town Of Hempstead Boat Ramp in Point Lookout - you anchored maybe 50 feet off the Marsh and dropped...

    Flounder

    MOJOE , Amazing all the things we did/used to catch Flounder back in the day. I still remember all the Flounder fishing spots in the bay. Yellow sinkers, bouncing sinkers, spreader rigs ( which nobody sells anymore) , Mussel chum , lifting the rod tip up to get a bite, using plungers to stir...

    Meadowbrook Drawbridge Dogfish Report

    I'm nervous about anchoring near bridges with cables on the bottom . Are there any cables near the Meadowbrook to avoid ? I know there's one half way over towards the Bay Houses because I lost rigs there . Do you set up during slack ?

    Flounder

    The early 1980's it was flat fishing heaven in Long Island Bays. You could easily catch 30 migrating flounder in Reynolds Channel right across from the Town Of Hempstead Boat ramp in Point Lookout - right over next to the marsh you anchored and flounder action for hours. Then I'd let a squid...

    Awful Porgy Fishing out in Peconic Bay Yesterday

    Probably the First time I didn't catch Porgies out in Peconic Bay when I was targeting them. Went out for the famous May fishing out there because the next 2 weeks I'll be Upstate and on vacation out West. Stopped at WEGO bait and tackle near the NYS Boat Ramp in Southold , bought 2 logs of...

    Kayak Safety Article

    They have Type 1's that are wearable like a regular vest. It was good having the ability to launch almost every where. Maybe if I wasn't so big I'd think different. Have you ever considered one of those folding boats ? You could pull up to a Marshy area and quickly roll that into the bay and...

    Kayak Safety Article

    I'd only Kayak again if my Kayak had pontoons on each side. Just never felt comfortable fishing in one. Maybe I weighed too much and I was tall. Tippy Canoe and me and my father up on a Lake Upstate and the shock of that made me think twice about Kayaking by myself. 2 guys drowned last week out...

    Friday 5/8 trip

    If I launch at the short ramp at TOH in Point Lookout my trailer will roll off the ramp at dead low tide. Chasing reports ? I want a solid report the day before I go out East. I read Party Boat Reports for fishing on Peconic Bay and yesterday( Monday) the fishing was just OK. Too much money/time...

    Friday 5/8 trip

    Update about Peconic Bay Porgy fishing. Went on the Peconic Star Party Boat website on Facebook and it looks like they were catching good numbers of Porgies off the Greenlawns ( And down from the Greenlawns around the Northern End/Point of Shelter Island. Caught medium size Weakfish as well...

    Stuck Lower Unit Drain plugs on Outboard Motors

    Had to remove lower unit drain plugs on 2 outboards and they wouldn't budge. Tried loosening those plugs with practically all my might and they wouldn't open. I bought a manual impact driver on Amazon and it worked like magic. Try using one of those drivers the next time you have trouble...

    Friday 5/8 trip

    Got the first break from the bad weather and went out Friday for Fluke and tried casting a surface plug for Bass hoping I'd get some bass in the back bays. Even with a forecast of 10-15 from the North it seemed way more breezy than that and I stayed as close to the mainland as possible and...

    Looks like West Marine is going to declare bankruptcy

    I got really good deals at Freeport Marine the last 2 times I shopped there. Both Online orders. Purchased 2 marine battery terminals that were twice as expensive on Amazon. Practically every time I've been in Freeport Marine, Fred Chall or West Marine , the stores are almost empty. I remember...

    What difference a day or too makes

    And I wouldn't rush out to Peconic Bay for Porgies right away . The vast majority of the reports said it was slow Porgy fishing out there .

    What difference a day or too makes

    I went down to Wantagh Park to buy my annual boat launching pass for $82 and there wasn't a single boat/trailer there and it's opening day Fluke Season. Looked out into the bay and whitecaps. There were even white caps in the protected harbor. It's suppose to blow even harder tomorrow or the...

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    Took 9 years to build the new State Boat Ramp next to Port Of Egypt after the land was donated to the State in 2012 and Fishing Fund money paid for it. No doubt Port Of Egypt was fighting against that ramp.

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    I remember going out to POE in the early to mid 1970's and we had fantastic weak fishing then. Big Tiderunners . They had big 18 foot aluminum boats . Plenty of room for 5 people. They sold them later and people bought them . I went out there with my father and launched our boat there for $45...
