    Tough conditions

    Pretty sure slip gut is old, dead seaweed that spent the winter in the bay. With luck it'll be gone by the middle of June. I love Moriches when the water is gin clear for those magical couple of weeks. You can watch the fluke (and Robbins, lol) follow your bait before the strike and view the...

    regulations

    Yea, especially since it's April 20th, Blackfish, Flounder and Striped Bass are open in NY and there's 'No' saltwater reports at all this Spring? Come on guys!

    Good way to end the season

Always a sad day hauling the boat but with a zipper in the shrink wrap think of all the stuff that can get accomplished before next season! Happy Holidays to everyone, lets all hope...

    Slow start ending in mayhem.

    Panga, didn't see any Bunker that day but the sand eels being spit out on the deck were the biggest I've ever seen here on Long Island!

    Circle hooks on Striped Bass

    Thanks guys, guess I'll just need to carry a pair of long-nose pliers and hopefully twist it out instead of lugging a big fish out of the water to wrestle with it on the deck just to pull a hook out of it's jaw. Enjoy the Fall run everyone, tight lines.

    Circle hooks on Striped Bass

    Overboard, thanks for the video, unfortunately there was some kind if error and I couldn't watch it. I'm going to check YouTube now for another one.

    Circle hooks on Striped Bass

    Well, thank you Chevy1 for your advice. Never having any problem removing a Circle hook is a good thing. However, out of the four Bass caught not one of the hooks were removed easily without pulling the fish from the water. We tried a hook remover on the 1st one only to realize the inward bend...

    Circle hooks on Striped Bass

    Got out last Thursday, instead of going right for the tog we decided to try the bunker schools for bass. We found over -slots more than willing to slurp down live bunker on circle hooks. I do have a question for those of you fishing live bait for Striped Bass. What is the best way to remove a...

    Measuring a Seabass

    Tried that once and learned my lesson, those fins can go right through your fishing boots! Lol

    Measuring a Seabass

    16 1/2" is a lot of fish just to be able to take a Seabass home for dinner, but dang if I don't hear different opinions on how to measure them. I believe the DEC says head to tail but there-in lies the rub. It's that darn filament a Seabass has streaming off it's tail. Some say that's part of...

    Win a party boat pool

    Didn't exactly know where to post this question so I chose here. While fishing on a party boat if you are fortunate enough to be in the pool and catch the largest fish what percentage of your winnings are the mates expecting. I believe there is no exact amount written in stone but I'm also...

    Blowfish?

    Curious if anyone giving fluke a shot in Moriches Bay has found those telltale chunks ripped out of their gulp baits? I would love to get the grandkids out for some blowfish but they get bored pretty quick if there's nothing happening. A few years ago May was a great month to spank those tasty...

    Hey Flukemaster19, did you ever make it out to give herring a shot?

    Hudson Anglers and Point Lookout Shark Tournaments 2022

    Thank you for the input guys. I was thinking something that significant would have had exposure in most of the fishing periodicals. Since I hadn't read anything I was a bit surprised to hear about it. It seems the proposed moratorium is still out for review and opinion but having seen NOAA's and...

    Hudson Anglers and Point Lookout Shark Tournaments 2022

    I'm not a shark fisherman but I have a question for those who are. Someone told me there has been put in place a two-year moratorium (2022-2023) on Short Fin Mako in federal waters. The retention limit for this species for the next two years is zero. Can anyone validate or debunk if this...

    Save the empty line spools after putting new line on your reels, you can put a toggle bolt through the center and chuck the stud end into your drill. It makes removing line from your reels easy piesy, just spin the drill. Use two spools to easily reverse the line on your reels to get to the...

    Captree

    Just trying to understand, when you turn the handle on the reel the spool does not turn or you just don't see any line coming in? My brother in law spooled up his reel a few years ago and the knot he used to fasten his new line to the spool just never got tight, when he turned the reel handle...
