    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...

    Eating less popular fish

    I usually do not buy books anymore. But I do go to the library a lot. My most recent book was : The Fisherman's Wife: Sustainable Recipes and Salty Stories I am enjoying it as they show you how to cook less popular fish like Sea Robins. However, they have a section on how to prepare Skate (as...

    It’s been an unusual year so far. (for me)

    The weather, especially on the weekends, has not been great. A lot of wind has kept me from fishing on my boat. I have caught over 40 fluke. But zero keepers. A friend had similar experience on the south shore I have not caught Mackerel in the Long Island Sound in many years. This year, maybe...

    Old lures

    I saw some old lures. The names ring a bell, but I have never used any of them (I tend to stay with bucktails). I do not surf cast. I fish on my boat. Any worth considering?

    Boat Fenders

    Two of my boat fenders were looking a bit soft. (see pic) I was going toblow them up a bit, expecting a valve like a football or basketball. But there a hard black plug there. (see second pic) I assume you don't pry those out. Are these two fenders considered sealed?
