    Hot North Shore Schoolie Bass

    Had two 17" fish and 8 or 9 birds the first few hours of the outgoing off Morgan's. All on silicone bucktails with chartreuse or salmon 6" curly tail grubs. Water was 50 degrees. It was great to wet a line once again. regards Holty

    Coronavirus

    So POTUS tells the country we will sequester the older first then "Roll the Dice' with the rest of our citizens? Seriously? Really seriously? They would have hung him. I am not happy about the way this has turned out either but there was no other path. It is easy to second guess now but there...

    Coronavirus

    'Roll the Dice'. That's the bottom line. Whether you agreed with the shutdown or not we as a country COULD NOT roll the dice. How could we possibly have done that?? regards Holty

    New York Boat Fishing As Of 4-27-20

    I think the biggest problem for the six-packs and head boats will be enforcing the 6' rule. Maybe that is why they have not been given the go-ahead. The six-packs might have to be 3 packs. On the Laura Lee site, they are stating they will only allow 25% of capacity on board once they start. So...

    Gronk and Brady together again.

    Wonder if he will make it through the season? He is very injury prone. regards Holty

    Wantagh park marina closed

    Huntington town has stopped the use of any leafblowers. The landscapers now have to use rakes and brooms. Also, how come they are still allowed to pack 4 in the cab? Some with masks, some without. regards Holty

    Wantagh park marina closed

    It is my understanding EVERYTHING on the island will be closed until the 29th. Our private cooperative in Huntington has shut down as well. regards Holty

    Daiwa Catalina TW 100P - A really good Dealeo on a top-shelf baitcasting reel, - but you gotta move FAST!

    Pete, thanks for the recommendation on the Black Hole 6-8 Charter Special. Exactly what I was looking for. Super light, moderate/fast tip and longer than average handle. Sweet deal at $185 with no tax as well. regards Holty

    Lep's Flea Market

    Pete, I enjoyed the story about Billy. Although I only knew him for a few years I admired his passion for fishing and Shamrock boats. A truly good man. regards Holty

    Daiwa Catalina TW 100P - A really good Dealeo on a top-shelf baitcasting reel, - but you gotta move FAST!

    OK Pete, will do. Early on here on the north side we are fishing shallow (15 to 25' of water) so the slow sticks work the 1/2 to 1 oz jigs fine. As the season progresses I am fishing deeper (30 to 50') with 2 to 4 oz jigs and I want to be sure I am giving them the action the faster tip provides...

    Daiwa Catalina TW 100P - A really good Dealeo on a top-shelf baitcasting reel, - but you gotta move FAST!

    So I was going to use my new Catalina 100p on an existing stick but have decided to look for a new wand to help fight off the doldrums. Any suggestions on an off the shelf 6'6"-6'8" fast M/H spiral wrapped jobbie with a longer than average handle under $200-? I would have no problem trimming a 7...

    Daiwa Catalina TW 100P - A really good Dealeo on a top-shelf baitcasting reel, - but you gotta move FAST!

    My early Christmas present arrived yesterday and she is as sweet as Pete's description above. My old Revo Winch will now be deligated to back up. The only problem now is the six-month wait until I use her. regards Holty

    New Gulp! Grub Saltwater Colors (fluke field trip)

    Two or three oz white or chartreuse bucktail with a 5/0 Siwash stinger that holds the 6" grub. Weightless teaser 14" above with 4" Salmon curly tail. It's been a very tough and disappointing pick this year but this rig has yielded a few quality fish in the 35' to 50' depths. It only happens for...

    New Gulp! Grub Saltwater Colors (fluke field trip)

    Pete, although the fluking here on the north side is way off this year I have been able to pick a few quality fish to 8 lbs. They ALL fell for the 6" Salmon grub.I won't use any thing else. regards Holty

    Our Fragile Long Island Sound Fishery

    So I had a brief reprieve Saturday morning from my fluking frustrations. Fishing the very last of the outgoing on one of my go to's at Lloyd's Point I culled through a handful of shorts and birds when my white 2oz skirted bucktail with a 6" salmon gulp grub got slammed. The fished weighed 7lbs...

    Our Fragile Long Island Sound Fishery

    Two short fluke and about a dozen birds yesterday morning 6-10am fishing my go to waypoints in the triangle and Asharoken. Only other bent rods I saw were from sea robins. Made a drift within eyesight of the packed James Joseph and those long-handled nets never moved. Newsday had an article...
