    Sacrificial snappers are the best !

    Haven't fished with Killies in years and almost never see Killie boxes anymore floating next to a boat. I still have one in my garage. They must be in livewells these days.

    First Ocean Trip

    Went out yesterday( Wednesday 8/26) and as soon as I cleared Jones Inlet I put out a feather bird rig and trolled for 2 hours for Bonito , False Albies and Spanish Mackerel. Not one hit . I trolled out to the Hempstead reef and maybe a 1/2 mile South of there and around that reef and trolled...

    Fishfinder II out of Captree

    Good hearing about the Spanish Macks , I'm going out of Jones Inlet this week to try trolling close to shore for Spanish Macks, Bonita , small Bluefish. I'm trolling with a bird and feathers daisy chain . Maybe I'll run into a bunker school and Cobia.

    Tuna

    Usually it's better trolling when it's a little rough on the ocean.

    Capt lou and the captree pride

    What a perfect bay for a race. What caught my eye were all the beautiful Blue Hulled Downeast Style yachts about 45 feet long riding all over.Saw about 7 or 8 of them. Must be a builder or dealer in the area.

    I have an Evinrude Diagnostic Program that gets rave reviews . My Outboard Mechanic tried to fix the problem and said it was a sensor that shorted out. My Diagnostic program showed no sensor fault. The Engine Computer stores all the faults and my Diagnostic Program lets me see all the...

    I have to mount the outboard bracket on the back . Just never got around to it. I'm working on a solution now.Panga transoms are narrow and I had to find a bracket small enough to fit. I love my Chinese Outboard, it's a keeper.

    It's not that I don't wanna learn from a Pro like Capt. Mike, I'm just not a partyboat/charter Boat kind of guy like when I was younger. I haven't gone on a boat for hire in decades. Use to all the time.

    My Motor went into Safe Mode about 4 hours into my trip yesterday. Had to limp all the way back to Port Of Egypt area going 2 knots into a strong outgoing tide. Don't know how I ever made it back to the ramp !! Was very scary with all those Ferries going back and forth. All the way from Dering...

    Peconic Bay has a Gazillion Yachts

    If you wanna see Yachts, go out there for a day. All day long I saw beautiful Downeast style yachts about 45 foot long with Blue Hulls. There must be a builder or dealer out there selling those boats. At least $750,000.

    Thanks for the offer Capt. Mike , I appreciate you wanting to help. Not making excuses , but right now I go out there based on the weather ( wind less than 10 -15) and the tide has to be going the right way because my engine goes into safe mode almost every other trip and I can only go 2 miles...

    MoJo, Just got back from my Second Peconic Bay Porgy fishing trip and I caught a small number of porgies and one seabass. They say it's great Porgy Fishing out there, I didn't see anybody fishing for Porgies inside the Bay. Everybody was drifting for Fluke and I didn't see one fish caught. What...

    Gas prices 2019 and beyond

    It'll be around $4.65 a gallon next week when I go up to my land and cabin in Central NY. I often thought about why the gas prices are higher the further you get away from Downstate . Every gallon has to be transported hundreds of miles and they gotta pay a driver. I'll make a pitstop at the...

    Gas prices 2019 and beyond

    This War will end up helping the oil industry and they're gouging us. The countries involved aren't charging more for the oil, the oil companies are.

    Saw a Wild Turkey on the Southern State Parkway !!

    I was driving back from Deer Park going West on the Southern State Parkway and I saw a lone Wild Turkey feeding in the grass. Cemetery was adjacent to the Parkway.It was near all the Cemeteries about 2 miles East of Route 109 in Farmingdale. Where there's one, there are others and good they're...

    No keepers but nice days

    Without sounding political, I just hope it's not overfishing. The Trump Admin. has talked about weakening Magnussen. I'm going out to Peconic again for Porgies, just want action !!! I haven't had one good day the whole season , maybe 5 or 6 shorts, a keeper or two that I release each trip and I...

    Captain's Table -Solid Bottom Fishing Week

    Are there any Porgies in the bay around the Greenlawns and off Jessup ? With the awful Fluke fishing this year, I gotta make a trip out there to get action !!! I'd like to fish over towards Gardiners but there's no Boat Ramp nearby and I'd have to motor all the way around from Port Of Egypt area...

    No keepers but nice days

    Fluke haven't been concentrated inside Jones this year for some reason. A fish here, a fish there. The Northwest side of the Meadowbrook Bridge on an outgoing tide was always the go to place for Fluke when it was slow elsewhere but now there's something on the bottom that takes my rigs far too...

    Are the Fresh Reports AI or written by a real person ?

    AI can be very useful if it gets information here and there . I read one report that had information from a fishing report I posted. Just now I went on Yahoo and asked what a can of Bunker chum is and AI gave me prices at 3 or 4 local Bait Shops like J&H. Is a can of bunker chum $40 ?
