    fluke rigs

    There are so many fluke rigs. I use to drag bait until many (many) years ago until I saw a seminar given by Captain Rich Tenreiro. After the seminar I switched to the bucktail rig with a bucktail on the bottom and a teaser on top. Of course I learned The "B/S" Fluke Jiggin' Rig (The "B/S" Fluke...

    Bucktails

    For fluke I have been using (most of the time) SPRO bucktails. When I snap jig, I tend to use round head bucktails like Premium Bucktails made by John Paduano. Having seen seminars by Bill “Doc” Muller, he always recommended bucktails with “any color you wanted, as long as it was white”. He...

    Low stock?

    I have been going through my stuff. I had a really mangled Pink SPRO 2oz bucktail that had a mangled hook, no hair and missing an eye. I was at my daughter’s and went to the Dicks in Patchogue. They had little on the shelves and could not even get it at Dicks online. I would have thought they...

    Diamond fishhook sharpener

    Yesterday my wife was going to Osprey Dominion for a 5K run/walk. I went to the Port Jefferson fishing show. Al Goldberg was giving a talk, and I sat in on the discussion. Al had a tiny hook sharpener around his neck. He said it was a Diamond fishhook sharpener. I was small with a red handle and...

    Titanium Fishing Pliers

    Just in case anyone get "hooked", I carry a pair of small bolt cutters on the boat. I have seen videos where experienced Captains tie string around the hook and remove it. Not for me. I would rather cut the barb off. I saw a used pair of Gomexus Titanium Fishing Pliers 7.5". Hooks are pretty...

    Daiwa reels

    I am meeting a friend for lunch. He mentioned he needed a new reel Fluke since Daiwa will not service his because it’s over 5 years old. He said he would never buy another Daiwa reel. Is that lack of support and service for a reel standard? I have a Michell 300 Pro serviced like three years...

    Books (Good reads) about fishing.

    I do not believe I'm going fishing anytime soon in this weather. But a good book can be special. Right now I am starting a John Skinner book, Fishing the Edge. Anyone have any other great fishing books they like to recommend?

    This has been a cold winter so far

    I remember reading a long time ago, cold winter means more sand eels. I have no idea if that’s true. Any baitfish affected? What will....if anything.....do for the fishing in the spring??

    The toughest / easiest fish to catch

    I went to a seminar last year. The person giving the seminar said the striped bass was easy to catch and fluke was probably the hardest. The techniques to catch them were the reason he said that. Now even people dead sticking catch fish. I think he was refereeing to sharpies that catch more and...

    Blackfish Jigs and colors

    As I get ready for Ward Melville, it gets me thinking about what I might need. I went Blackfishing 2025 for the first time in years. I also just jigs for the first time. Usually, it was a sinker on the bottom and two hooks above. My question is about the jig color. When I went to a local shop...

My most recent book was : The Fisherman's Wife: Sustainable Recipes and Salty Stories I am enjoying it as they show you how to cook less popular fish like Sea Robins. However, they have a section on how to prepare Skate (as...
