    Bridge Work

    I posted a spot burning video in the "General Discussions" section, where it belongs, in my opinion. I intend to keep posting the way I've been, with the hopes of addressing kayak fishermen. I like not having to click the "boat" button on Noreast each time I posted, because it really wasn't...

    Spot Burning 101: Burning Bridges @ Ponquogue

    After a lengthy discussion on this subject in the Kayak Fishing forum (wrong place) I decided to make that discussion and this video my final statement on the subject. It is NOT intended to incite anyone, belittle anyone's views on the topic, or continue that discussion any further.

    CT Kayak Bass - Misfit Kayak Fishing Team

    It's a beautiful region and a river with traits that I'm just beginning to learn about.

    Spot Burning 101: Burning Bridges @ Ponquogue

    Sadly, he spoke no English.

    Bridge Work

    I'm determined to catch my first local keeper of the season, so I've been to the Bridge twice since I last burned the bridge. My night trip yielded only 3 fish and they were all small, but given the conditions (45 degrees, 25-30mph wind, rainy, poor visib.) it was a victory. Those came on a deep...

    Ponquogue Bridge Bass Have Arrived

    In the future, we can probably just insert a link OFF the "Kayak Fishing" Forum for those who would rather discuss that one and those who want to catch fish from a kayak. It's seldom that I have the time to do both, but I'm happy to explain how kayak fishing is different from other types, and...

    Ponquogue Bridge Bass Have Arrived

    The Things that Divide Us I enjoy an informed exchange of perspectives, even when they're different than mine. I think that when the responses are an over-simplification of the issue, as if everyone who doesn't agree with them is wrong, it is a sign of ignorance and an insult to those who have...

    CT Kayak Bass - Misfit Kayak Fishing Team

    One Last Trip to CT: a/k/a Pre-Jamaica Bay Team Misfit headed up for a beautiful day on the Housatonic. I'd done a solo trip and had nine (small) stripers, all on the troll and with my fishfinder on the fritz, so I was optimistic. We did find them, but not in the numbers we'd hoped. Pete...

    Ponquogue Bridge Bass Have Arrived

    I think that reasonable people can disagree about this, and most of us will agree that it's the haters that brought down Noreast. At least that's what did it for me. Unfortunately, the "What is spot burning?" issue lingers, due in part to zome misunderstandings. Arguments against sharing fishing...

    Ponquogue Bridge Bass Have Arrived

    People always assume that I'm giving away the farm. First, I only caught one, very small fish. Hardly a glowing endorsement. Second, Ponquogue Bridge is hardly a secret. It's like Montauk Point in my opinion. Can you really "burn" it when everyone knows about it? Third, I never mentioned a tide...

    I had about the same temp, 55.

    Ponquogue Bridge Bass Have Arrived

    You can use anything, but wrap it in clear Gorilla tape and it will last at least 2 seasons.

    Ponquogue Bridge Bass Have Arrived

    "Back bays" and bridges are getting a little crowded out on Eastern L I, so I went to Ponquogue Bridge, hoping that some of the schoolies that everyone's getting in the bays and Quogue Canal had made it as far as the Bridge in Shinnecock Bay. Wasn't marking much at all and the only bass I caught...

    Kayak Bassing in CT with my son

    Made a couple of trips north to catch some stripers in the Housatonic again. My buddy and I struggled just to catch. Only rats for us and not many. Interestingly - to make this a fishing report - last weekend on the Housey everyone who used soft white plastics seemed to suffer a sub-par day. I'm...

    Should I Stay or Should I Glow? (Sorry)

    Thanks! As often as I do that kind of fishing from my yak, I'll probably be staying with what I'm doing most of the time. Love to learn, though. Before I was a longliner, I was a lobsterman, and we got a LOT of ling that would make their way into our pots. Occasionally their struggle would...

    Should I Stay or Should I Glow? (Sorry)

    When I worked on a longliner we caught swords with light sticks. The key was to not have them so close to the baits that you illuminated the leader.

    Should I Stay or Should I Glow? (Sorry)

    First, sorry for the shameless pun. Seriously, though, my friend and I were night fishing in unfamiliar brackish water and in preparing for the trip, we'd both considered using them. Not exactly sure why, probably because neither of us had any preconcieved associations about what would work...
