    Walmart Fishing Reel Clearance

    Sorry for late reply, forgot the model number, just remember it was a Warfare. Made in China. Made they have it listed on their website. Almost every reel I have is a Penn real made in the US , I just have 2 Okuma reels and 2 Diawa Sealine 50 reels. American made Penn reels on Ebay are cheaper...

    Was out at the Walmart in Farmingdale and saw Penn Warfare reels for $34 and $44 in the Clearance Isle. $20 cheaper than on Amazon. I can't reel in anymore reels , I have way too many.

    Trump Opens Marine National Monument in Atlantic to Commercial Fishing

    One of the few things I'll criticize Trump about. This is to benefit the fish markets/ food corporations more than anything. You'd think with all the Wealthy Sportfishermen they'd just leave those marine sanctuaries in place.

    Alternative to a Cross Sound Bridge

    I read it would cost $45 Billion to build a Cross Sound Bridge. Instead of building that, why don't they make the LIE and The Cross Bronx 2 level roads and build a New 8 lane George Washington Bridge and Throgs Neck Bridge with 2 levels ?? Would probably cost less than $45 Billion. The Mario...

    outboard repair can be very expensive and frustrating when not fixed

    My mechanic made 2 mistakes repairing my outboard, first mistake he didn't make sure the gasket was flat when he put the lower unit on after extending the shaft to 25 inch's, instead it was folded backwards and lower unit oil seeped out and water flooded my lower unit. 2nd mistake- he didn't...

    outboard repair can be very expensive and frustrating when not fixed

    4 strokes will end up costing a lot more than 2 strokes to service . 2 stroke direct injections were the way to go , the manufacturers went 4 stroke to get more service revenue from customers.

    outboard repair can be very expensive and frustrating when not fixed

    I wish there were Outboard Mechanics who'd come to your home and charge $75 an hour. $190 an hour that Marinas charge is ridiculous. You'd think there would be a bunch of older guys who'd do it to supplement their retirements , $75 an hour is way better than $16 an hour at Walmart. Make sure you...

    New Cod Recovery Plan

    I can't answer that. I'm just wondering why Cod came back so quickly in the past and now they aren't? I don't think it's climate change because Cod are scarce in Maine and the water temps there are lower than the lowest water temps Long Island ever had. When you see Fluke, Winter Flounder ...

    Now the Chinese are building Downeast Lobster Boats!

    Saw the Grandsea 45 Footer on Alibaba for $150,000. Looks just like one from Maine ! 1989 my family purchased a 31 foot BHM hull from Flye Point Marine and we built a lobster boat. Not hard to build one of those boats . We paid $10,000 for the Hull , we went up to Brooklyn and paid for it...

    New Cod Recovery Plan

    Ling survived the nets because many hid in rocks/wrecks, unlike the Whiting. Isn't that a clue it was over fishing ? Took 15 years for the Ling to come back strong again. I bet they're doing their best to exploit bergalls as well.

    New Cod Recovery Plan

    The cod fishing in the 1970's was far worse than it is today.They kicked the foreign fleet out in 1976 and 4 years later there was excellent cod fishing again. Took 4 or 5 years to rebuild the Cod Stock in the late 1970's. There's illegal fishing going on up North and too much by catch. The...

    NY should build a Boat Ramp in Montauk

    Peconic Bay/Orient offers almost the same quality fishing as Montauk does, but it would be nice having a ramp in Orient State Park and Montauk for those special occasions. There's no excuse not building one in a State Park , out in Montauk they might be able to build one at Hither Hills State...
