    Tougher than expected

    Got out with the boyz today, fished outside Fire Island inlet in the ocean. Not as many boats out as I expected and those that were out were spread out all over the place. Ended the day at Fire Island reef, all in all caught some fish and brought home a couple of fluke but a much tougher day...

    Pork Cooking Temperatures

    Doesn't sound like you guys are taking into account the effects of carryover cooking. Dependant on the size of a roast internal temps can rise a much as 10-15 degrees after removing it from the heat source (while resting). In my opinion the goal should be to shoot for a final internal temp of...

    Not what I expected...

    I totally agree, I'd rather get ugly details than have someone try to blow sunshine up my butt. I also appreciate that I never heard 'you should have been here yesterday'. Lol

    Not what I expected...

    i've got to say he drifted multiple depths and bottom contours. Deepest started around 60' and worked bottom to 24'. It wasn't like he didn't put in any effort to find life but they just weren't there.

    Not what I expected...

    i asked the captain how the fishing was prior to the storm, he replied quite frankly 'it sucked'. Go figure, at least he was honest.

    Drifting eels and live lining porgies, beautiful night but fish were uncooperative to say the least.

    Not what I expected...

    Just got home from a full tide 6 pack out of Montauk. Really been looking forward to this trip after listening for weeks and weeks how awesome the Bass fishing has been. I did hear that those 'big' fish that were hanging around pushed east to Block Island but thats OK a bunch of slot fish would...

    Lat/Lon conversions

    i've got the unused lat\lon numbers in the boat but I believe their format was xx yyy zzz. I got the degrees and seconds but the 3 positions in the minutes did not jive with any format my machine has. My Furuno is currently using decimal degrees but can be changed to DMS.

    Actually that was very good, thank you Aquarius I'm pretty sure I got it.

    Lat/Lon conversions

    Hey fellas, about a month ago we decided to get in on the Seabass fishing by the San Diego wreck. I'd never been there before so I got some coordinates from the web. Seems they were useless because the format they used didn't match any of the three formats my Furuno offered. Is there a way to...

    Pool fish

    Nice job Hunter, if you don't mind I'm curious how you smoke your Porgies. Do you scale them and smoke then whole, or filet them and leave the skin on? Do you use a charcoal grill/ smoker or something electric. Perhaps a more mild wood like apple or go for the gusto with hickory? Thanks for any...

    Trailers on Ny parkways

    So I know it 'is' legal to trailer your boat on Meadowbrook Pky heading south (exit at Loop pky to launch at Pt. Lookout) as long as you access the parkway from Merrick Rd. I was curious if its legal to do the same on Wantagh pky. Also can you trailer your boat the length of Ocean Pky from Jones...

    Finally!

    What an absolutely beautiful day on the water today! You know what could make a beautiful day even better? How about finally putting together an awesome limit of nice fluke. They didn't come easy though, had to weed through some 30-40 shorts. And I wish I had a dollar for every 18-18 3/4" fluke...

    Future fishaholics

    I had the privilege of having not one but both of my grandsons out on the boat this morning. My 11 yr old has been fishing with me pretty regularly and he's gotten pretty darn proficient but today my 9yr old grandson joined us for his first ever fishing trip and I'm just busting with pride! We...

    Port Jefferson

    Got out Sunday, NOAA weather said North Shore would be a better bet so launched out of Pt. Jefferson. SW wind with an outgoing tide made for a quick drift by buoy 11 but had no tbl holding bottom with a 1 1/2 oz bucktail. Fished out the tide with some short fluke but no keepers, significantly...

    Finally!

    My buddy and I got out this morning and fished some offshore wrecks between Moriches and Fire Island. Clam was the ticket today for us, tried a jig with a gulp teaser but no takers. Had to fish through quite a few shorts to get our limit but the fish we kept were the kind you don't have to...

    Fluke/Scup

    Thanks for the report, looks like North Shore fishing success this year is going to require some extra effort and quite a bit of luck. Porgies seem like the only sure thing, gona have to invest in some light tackle to make it challenging. Keep those reports coming.
