    Whats going on in the World

    This shouldn't be considered political, so do you think the US should/can purchase Greenland ? Did a little research- according to a 2009 law, the people of Greenland can declare independence from Denmark if they wish and only the people of Greenland will decide that. 57,000 people live on...

    New Hampshire also stocks winter flounder. NY was afraid to stock because they worried about disease. All NY spends money on are DEC Officers who give out tickets. If you look at everything Saltwater the DEC has been involved with , they never spend anything . The artificial reef material/labor...

    I miss drifting for Whiting near Ambrose Tower, at 17 Fathoms . On a nice calm day it was like fishing for Fluke. They disappeared so quickly , I remember going to 17 Fathoms in early May 1991 and we caught a bunch of whiting drifting there. Nothing the next year , nothing the next 33 years...

    Re: Weakfish over 10 pounds- probably the small weakfish are able to swim thru the nets and the big ones get caught. That's the only explanation I can think of. Cod have been beaten down so far that fish can't live to be 40 pounds.

    Bluefish disappeared in the 40's and 50's , maybe they just relocate to some place else for a while. If you look at all the fisheries, just whiting and winter flounder never returned. Maybe Whiting just moved offshore for a while ? Maybe they move back inshore again . Or maybe whiting are like...

    Those Raritan Bay Flounder survived because they probably summered in water where the commercials couldn't target them. Looks like anglers over targeted them and the floundering isn't good there anymore. At least 15 years the Russians pounded the fish stocks off the East Coast and only winter...

    I was also 8 years old in 1972 . I was lucky to spend 2 summers out in Montauk-1972,1973 . I remember going out there almost every weekend during the summer and the 5 of us slept on our cabin cruiser docked at Snug Harbor Marina. 1973 we docked at Star Island Marina , I remember going into...

    When Deer take advantage of Sunny Days

    One time I was up at my Chenango County property and was driving down a road and I spooked a herd of bucks . Unbelievable, I saw 7 or 8 Bucks with 6,8, 10 points go sprinting away all in a line.

    Which state has better inshore fishing , NY or Florida?

    Have you ever gone sailfishing in the Keys ? Very easy renting a boat there and fishing for them on the reef. Sometimes it's non stop action in early winter.

    Which state has better inshore fishing , NY or Florida?

    I remember fishing the Juno Pier and it was like fishing on a Party boat , lined with fishermen who were catching nice King Mackerel and Bluefish. Saw guys walk off with a barrel of fish. No doubt the offshore fishing is better, but inshore I didn't see much action the 25 years I've been down...

    Which state has better inshore fishing , NY or Florida?

    All the times I fished inshore Florida, the Florida Keys was the best . You drop a chum bag in the water there and 5 minutes later there's a gazillion fish swimming near your boat. Great Sail fishing on the Reef as well . I like how shallow it is off the West Coast. Thanks for the Info.

    Which state has better inshore fishing , NY or Florida?

    I only went off shore fishing on a boat when I visited Florida in the past. Fished off bridges and piers down there and didn't see a soul fishing the intra coastal water way or a lot of people fishing off the piers. From Fort Worth fishing piers all the way up to St. Lucie Inlet area fishing...

    When Deer take advantage of Sunny Days

    Weird feeling seeing a buck out in the open , 9 out of 10 deer you see have no antlers and when you see one you're in some dream like state looking at them moving along very sneaky .Hope no hot rod next summer kills that deer.

    Just purchased my first Chinese Outboard Motor

    Just couldn't spend $2500-$3000 for a backup motor. Should be fine for me. You should see the busy Hangkai production line, like 300 of these motors lined up in the factory ready to be boxed. I like the challenge of getting this to last a long time.

    Tog & Mackerel

    My father remembered as a kid in the 50's the fall was the time to catch mackerel out of Sheepshead Bay. 7 or 8 years ago there was a nice mackerel run outside Jones Inlet for months during the winter. A mile or two out. Keep your fingers crossed , maybe the crazy fall wind will die down and I...

    Just purchased my first Chinese Outboard Motor

    Bought a brand new Hangkai 12 HP Long shaft outboard on Ebay for $840 . Got it today, looks real good. Spare parts and a 6 gallon gas tank with hose. Bought it for a backup motor on my 25 Panga, will store it in a plastic tote and put bubble wrap all around it and a blanket underneath. My motor...

    Another LI Party Boat Busted for BSB Violations...

    Those who fish the West End know the name of that Green Party boat. They quickly fish out a wreck and leave nothing for everybody else.

    They should be able to charge them if they're seen throwing fish overboard as they approach.

    Anybody have luck using Mojo Heads and Umbrella rigs?

    I think I'll use a planer also.

    Anybody have luck using Mojo Heads and Umbrella rigs?

    I was looking at 28 OZ. drails but was worried they'd sink in the water while trolling and affect the lure action. I think MoJo's are connected from the top and it's up and down like a downrigger ball.
