    Awful out there today

    Went out today, Tuesday 9/16, and it was blowing hard from the Northeast and it ruined the drift. 3 hours into incoming tide and I was still drifting west against the tide because it was very windy. Decided to go out because tomorrow it's going to rain. Tried the SE side of the Meadowbrook ...

    Amazing how the Amish are taking over Upstate NY!

    I remember when I purchased my upstate land in 2009 there weren't many Amish up there. . My land is located in Northern Chenango County about a mile from the Madison County Line. Now the Amish are up there in good numbers. They're the fastest growing demographic in the State, they have large...

    Camp fires anytime of the day are legal in Nassau County !

    I'm not a crab who calls the Police all the time, but 3 weeks ago I was in bed around midnight. It was warm and humid and no doubt every neighbor had their AC's on. Around midnight I started smelling smoke in my room and thought a house was on fire nearby. For 15 minutes I put up with the...

    Any Dodge Ram owners here ?

    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.

    The Arctic Convoy movie on Hulu is a great movie

    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...

    Wild Tarantulas on Long Island ?

    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...

    Do Marina's sell Ethanol free Gas ????

    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...

    Capt. Dave in Sheepshead Bay

    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.

    Which state has better inshore fishing , NY or Florida?

    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...

    Anybody have luck using Mojo Heads and Umbrella rigs?

    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...

    Nice to be out, but no fish

    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...

    Think we'll have great Striper fishing this fall ?

    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 ?

    Hangkai Chinese outboards

    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...
