    Did Kathy Hochul give away the bunker again ?

    I read that somewhere. Just one company in the US doing all that damage, there's a lawsuit claiming the owner isn't a US Citizen/ US company and they can't legally fish for the bunker. The local reports I'm reading say bunker #'s are way down off Long Island.

    2025 MD Striped Bass Young of Year Assessment - Make that 7 consecutive spawn failures!!

    Extend state waters out 12 miles , ban dragging off NJ and NY for the next 15 years and stock winter flounder. I guarantee we'll have wonderful winter flounder fishing again . If they don't ban dragging, the flounder will never rebound.

    Assault Weapons in NY can be transferred to a spouse or child after the owner dies.

    The price of centerfire rifle ammo is slowly killing sport shooting. One of these days I'll just have pistols and 22's and shoot blanks out of my Revolutionary War and Civil War Muskets. Maybe I'll pretend I'm duck hunting and shoot the muskets on the marsh. Smooth Bore. Pistol ammo is still...
