Mild Cool front moved in Thursday night and the fluke fishing was terrible Friday. Caught 1- 16 inch fluke. I didn't see anyone catch a fluke near me. Tried East of the Meadowbrook, in Jones Inlet and drifted East from Point Lookout over to the Construction Dock Area. Last 3 hours of incoming...

Do the 2023 trucks on have automatic braking ? Dodge doesn't talk about that much , can't find much info about that. You think they'd have that as a standard option by now.

Anyone see that movie ? It's about the PQ17 Convoy during WW2 that was headed to Russia with war supplies . The Germans sank 24 ships in the 35 ship convoy. More battle scenes than DAS BOOT and very realistic. I consider this a top 15 war movie. Never heard of this movie, was it shown in US...

Sounds crazy ! I did some research on Tarantulas after hearing about Gene Hackman's death in New Mexico. Saw how wooded it was around his house and wondered if Tarantulas were there. Sante Fe has a lot of Tarantulas even with cold winters there. Last week they had temps in the low 20's. Kansas...

Haven't purchased gas at a Long Island marina in years because I only purchased Diesel fuel. Do they sell Ethanol free Gas? Insane if they don't knowing it can be much more destructive to a boat than a car/lawnmower. I checked a website that lists all the gas stations around NY that sell...

Looked at Capt. Dave's Website - That party boat is 92 feet long and has 2 - 400 HP Detroit Diesels . Cruises at 20 knots- WOW ! Built in 1962. That's not a lot of HP for a Party Boat that size , Some 45 foot Lobster Boats have 600 HP.

I only went off shore fishing on a boat when I visited Florida in the past. Fished off bridges and piers down there and didn't see a soul fishing the intra coastal water way or a lot of people fishing off the piers. From Fort Worth fishing piers all the way up to St. Lucie Inlet area fishing...

Bought a brand new Hangkai 12 HP Long shaft outboard on Ebay for $840 . Got it today, looks real good. Spare parts and a 6 gallon gas tank with hose. Bought it for a backup motor on my 25 Panga, will store it in a plastic tote and put bubble wrap all around it and a blanket underneath. My motor...

Thinking of getting a MoJo head about 24 OZ. and trolling an umbrella rig behind it. Sure beats that horrible wire line or clumsy downriggers. Found a seller on Ebay who sells big heavy Mo Jo heads real cheap. He's got a deal like 8 Norway ( without hooks ) Cod Jigs 12 OZ for $23. Just spray...

Went out Tuesday for Porgies near the Jones Beach Piers and not one nibble. Maybe a few, I couldn't tell with the strong tide. Anchored with 2 other boats maybe about 2 hours before slack low tide , had a hard time holding bottom with a 6 OZ. sinker. Waited until I saw the other boats catching...

Been on the ocean twice this summer as recently as 2 weeks ago and didn't see many bunker pods out of Jones Inlet. Have you seen a lot of bunker out there ? When did that great run last fall start ?

How can they still sell 2 stroke outboards in the US ? See plenty of them on Amazon and Ebay ? I'm thinking of getting a 12 HP Hangkai as a backup motor on my 25 foot Panga Boat. Was on the ocean a few weeks back and my motor went into limp mode and only allowed me to go 2 knots all the way...

Went out today, Thursday 8/15, to troll for bonito, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, trolled for maybe 2 hours out to the freighters and tankers, nothing, Flat as a lake going out thru Jones Inlet , trolling outside. It's usually not good trolling on flat calm days but I only go out flat calm with my...

Looking for flat calm seas and all I see is 3-5 foot seas with occasional 5-6-9 foot seas. All week long!

Got out around 7 AM , launched my boat at Wantagh Park. Headed over to the Loop Bridge to see if the Fluke were still there ( haven't been out the last 3 weeks) , on the way there I saw a huge bluefish blitz going on between The Jones Beach Pier and The Meadowbrook Bridge, they were breaking on...

Got out early today about 6:30AM Wednesday 7/3 , at the end of incoming tide . Tried fluke fishing by the 2nd Wantagh Bridge, nothing, Tried at the 3rd Wantagh bridge , nothing. Fluke fishing is much better during the outgoing tide with the warm water . Incoming tide brings in 60 degree water...

Went out early 6/25 Tuesday, got out there about 7:30 AM, last 3 hours of incoming 10-15 NW winds, not much weed. Tried bucktailing around Fundy Bridge , no action. Went to the East side of the Meadowbrook and drifted in a SE direction across the channel, no action. Went out and tried drifting...

Looks like a repeat of last summer with a slow fluke bite. Launched my boat at Wantagh Park Wed. 6/19 around 5:45 AM expecting not many boats on the water because it was mid week. Found out later in the day it was a holiday. You don't pay attention to time, dates, holidays when you're retired...
