    Books (Good reads) about fishing.

    I never remember reading that Matt Ahern passed. I saw a few of his seminars. He was an excellent speaker. He borrowed the old Henry Ford comment regarding color: (paraphrasing) “Use any color bucktail you want, as long as its white”. I still have the Uncle Josh Bucktail Kit he recommended...

    Books (Good reads) about fishing.

    I thought “Fishing with the Bucktail was an excellent book. I went to have Captain John DeMaio sign it. I tried to set up a charter. Unfortunately, I found out that he had pancreatic cancer and was no longer able to accept charters.

    If you ever want to get people to wear a life vest, they have to read Dark Noon.

    Books (Good reads) about fishing.

    I do not believe I'm going fishing anytime soon in this weather. But a good book can be special. Right now I am starting a John Skinner book, Fishing the Edge. Anyone have any other great fishing books they like to recommend?

    This has been a cold winter so far

    People used to fish for Herring in the LI Sound docks. I have not heard that they were around. I do not think I be out there fishing 10 degrees if they were.

    This has been a cold winter so far

    Last time I went for Cod I remember my nose almost touching the water then looking at the sun, water, then sun. The boat rolling made half the guys sick. I also remember the salt water spray freezing on the boat. I think the boat reeled up some conger eels and maybe one cod. Does this cold...

    This has been a cold winter so far

    I remember reading a long time ago, cold winter means more sand eels. I have no idea if that’s true. Any baitfish affected? What will....if anything.....do for the fishing in the spring??

    Super market bumper carts

    Even notice the difference between men and woman? Women fil the cart with eggs bread, food and batteries. Men usually have beer and chips.

    The toughest / easiest fish to catch

    I went to a seminar last year. The person giving the seminar said the striped bass was easy to catch and fluke was probably the hardest. The techniques to catch them were the reason he said that. Now even people dead sticking catch fish. I think he was refereeing to sharpies that catch more and...

    Melted? Can you elaborate on that? Left in the sun? Fished, then they put away and melted? I took look at the case. Not sure how that would keep the lure integrity unless the lure was left on a hot deck in the sun and the plastic melted.

    Blackfish Jigs and colors

    As I get ready for Ward Melville, it gets me thinking about what I might need. I went Blackfishing 2025 for the first time in years. I also just jigs for the first time. Usually, it was a sinker on the bottom and two hooks above. My question is about the jig color. When I went to a local shop...
