    Another Reason To Stay Away From Car Dealers

    My Brides' car is a Hyundai SantaFe, still under warranty so I bring it back to the dealer for State inspection, while it's in lets rotate the tires, OK all is good. Fast forward a couple of months later, front tire picked up a screw & almost flat, lucky I discover it at home in the driveway, no...

    Hungry Bluefish

    Got out this morning & headed straight to the race to catch the tide, first drift put a 30" slot bass on ice. A few more drifts & another bass released at boatside, then the bluefish moved in. Released a typical big race bluefish after netting, then donated 3 bucktails to the hungry bastards...

    A Limit Can Be Tough To Come BY

    Got out early this morning with the intent of harassing the stripers, during the last of the flood tide. I guess it may have been the north wind, but old Mother Nature stuck out her hand & stopped the flow of the flood tide about an hour before expected, total for my effort was two dropped fish...

    Surprise At The Race

    Got an early start this morning & headed to the Race, for the last of the ebb current. Deep water, swift currents, & a rip that can stand up makes the place pure evil at times. Fishing a three way rig sent a bucktail to the bottom over 100' down, i see fish on the screen but no takers. Bird life...

    Answered The Internal Montauk Call

    Every once in a while a little voice has me ignore the local bass fishing & make the run to Montauk. Yesterday weather, wind & tide all sounded good so decided to make the run, all was good till I neared the lighthouse, south & east was socked in with dense fog. The last couple of days I have...

    First Sea Bass Trip

    Got a late start yesterday for the first sea bass trip on the season. Used the DEC boat launch in mattituck, for the first time this fishing season & was surprised to see new marker buoys in the inlet. Ran north to the numbers in light fog & found the sea bass waiting, unfortunately most just a...

    Slow Day But A Good Day

    One of our Sons came out yesterday & we headed for Plum Gut for the ebb tide, the number of boats reminded me why I shy away from the weekends. Wind, tide, & drift were all as they should be, but, for us anyway the fish had lockjaw. We managed one bass right at the top end of the slot, which was...

    Learned Something New Today

    Planned on getting an early start & fish the ebb in Plum Gut, fog & drizzle, mostly fog, changed that plan. Waited till about 10 & the weather cleared so set out to fish the flood, still overcast & dreary in the Gut I think that place has it's own weather pattern, at least it kept the boat count...

    Covered A Lot Of Water For A Few Fish

    Decided to make the run to Montauk yesterday, called a buddy the nite before who has a pretty good handle on what is going on, he basically said have a good boat ride but you are about 3/4 days too late, headed out from Greenport regardless. Spent the better part of the flood tide & managed to...

    Another Fine Morning

    Got out yesterday to fish the ebb tide in Plum Gut, a tide I have avoided in the past. Arrived a little early to the end of the slack, not very boats around so tried a little power drifting, bumped the boat in & out of gear a few times & fish on, looked to be at the high end of the slot released...

    Fog Is My Kryptonite

    Lets be clear I hate fog, their are times when I will fish in the fog, but when solid dense fog settles in at Plum Gut & I start hearing the horn on the ferry it turns me into a little scaredy cat girly girl, as was the case this morning. I turned & retreated into the bay a couple hundred yards...

    Best Morning This Spring

    Don't know why, but life has just been getting in the way so far this season, checked my log & I'm way behind in trips. Got out early this morning for the flood tide in the Gut. Second drift was rewarded with a 30" slot fish which was put on ice. Another slot & a short, both returned, then THE...

    Late Start, But A Good One

    Got a late start this spring due to having a Minn Kota Trolling Motor installed on the boat, anxious to get out today, fish, & try my new toy. I couldn't pass up the rip on the way to the porgie grounds, resulting in two bass right at the bottom of the slot, both fish returned. More that two...

    Penn Squall Level Wind

    Early in the fall, at a yard sale I picked up a new in the box Penn Squall bait caster for $50. Reel was new never used, never had line on it. Spooled it up with 10lb braid & realized the level wind works as it should when retrieving line, but when letting line out the level wind stays in one...
