    I watched a guy on YouTube slaying blowfish with small pieces he cut with a pair of scissors.

    Tightening up screw holes

    In your opinion would the screw be permanently secured in the hole with the 5 min epoxy?

    New Tog rig? Am I missing something?

    Sounds like the top hook (sliding hook) is embedded into the same crab the snelled hook threads into (variation of a snafu rig). Not sure what you mean about a tangle? Sorry just read the previous reply explaining no tangles. Lol

    Any Blacks left?

    Wrapped the guppy up today, large hopes for next season. Was curious if anyone has boarded any vessels headed towards 17 fathoms? Water temps are still unseasonably warm, wondered if there are any Blacks left in those 102' depths?

    COVER whole boat or just 2/3 ?

    I surprised no one seems concerned about the damage frozen water can do? How often during the winter does snow melt during the day and re-freeze at night. My concern is the expansion and contraction from ice on spider cracks in the gelcoat, fittings, hatch covers, there are so many things. Not...

    Middle Ground and Charles Island

    FW, congrats on your retirement, it may be a bit early but still a new step in your life. Next season don't get frustrated when you want to go but your son has to work, lol. I was hoping your report was going to say you finally found the Tog but you definitely made some lemon with those bass...

    School Me On Blackfish Jigs

    I'm also no sharpie when it comes to blackfish jigs, but I do like a little bit longer shank where it comes out of the leadhead than the bottom sweeper gives you. I also like a hook with a wider throat, I find it hooks the crab better. For myself 5 #'s of drag just won't cut it unless your...

    School Me On Blackfish Jigs

    I've got to wonder if your high number of lost rigs could have something to do with the second hook increasing the potential for hanging into structure? Just a thought,

    One last time

    I was fortunate to be able to get out one last time for fluke. I had heard there were some fish being caught around the bridge in Fire Island inlet area. Started the morning fishing the West Channel for some Weakfish at the end of the incoming, small fish but loads of fun. Once the outgoing...

    Last hurrah

    I'll tell you this, the south shore bays are loaded with bait. The water is getting cooler and the migration of that bait through the inlets and into the ocean cannot be to far away. Mix that with some predators like Weakfish, Blues and Bass and I think you'll get what you hope for.

    Last hurrah

    So last weekend of the 2020 Fluke season, where to fish after a week of strong NE winds and high seas? Rolled the dice and headed out of Jones inlet where we hit them before the blow. Crapped out, where ever those fish were I know where they weren't. Lol Had a few shorts but nothing to bring...

    Does Cedar park have targets or do you need to bring your own?

    Wind is not my friend

    So Fall is right around the corner but looks like the wind is leading the way. Really looking to get out for the last gasps of the fluke season but mother nature seems hell bent on squashing any of those dreams. Looks like this weekend is a bust both days. Hope for better luck next week.

    Bottom of the 9th

    With only a couple weeks left for 2020 fluke we decided to push the envelope a bit. Sundays ocean forecast said 5 - 10 knt wind with 4-5 footers but the interval was enough that we figured we would give it a shot. Fished S/W of Jones and managed several keepers for the table. Wind picked up...

    Fun day

    Wish I knew were Lep was fishing but we had a fun day S/W of Jones inlet by Mcallister reef. 1st drift this morning put 2 5#ers in the box and thought we were in for an epic day. Unfortunately that didn't happen, it turned into a slow grind. However we did catch plenty of 18+ " fish which were...

    Middle Grounds

    Yup I was mistaken, last weekend in August. I wonder if a 4# blue will end up with 1st place.

    Middle Grounds

    Pretty sure the WICC tournament is going on this weekend. Heaviest Blue wins you $25,000, from the recent reports seems the best chances of catching a bluefish in the Sound at all is either the Middle Grounds or the South Fork (Orient). Hence the additional boat traffic. Never enjoyed fishing...

    Moriches clam chumming?

    I haven't done it in some time however it was productive on occasion. Out front a bit SW of the inlet on yhe outgoing, used set up on the north side of the bar close to a break in the white water. I recall taking my young nephew and spending several hours helping him battle 28-30" fish to the...
