Took advantage of the great forecast and sailed for the final trip of the season on Saturday. After making several disappointing trips to the west, decided to stay local for one last shot at Blackfish. The decision worked out as we managed to pick away all day on the same piece and put together...

Fished Saturday with my usual crew plus 2 additional friends. Headed SW to fish some bottom (intel from a trusted source), I haven't fished since Loran was king, I'm dating myself now. Slow start and just picky throughout the day. We ended up with a keeper for each guy amongst some shorts. We...

Fished Saturday with my good friends John and Danny. The idea was to bass fish in the morning and then hit a few drops for Blackfish later in the day. Finding the bunker was easy as I headed west out of the inlet. Stopped here and there making my way west. Managed only one bass early in the day...

Still scratching my head about this one. Volvo Penta KAMD43P inboard diesel. Was out fishing Saturday, boat was running great. Went to run up and start another drift and nothing! NO power to the dash, gauges.....nothing. Radio GPS all working just fine. Checked wiring, connections, switched...

I was fortunate enough to fish both days this past weekend. Saturday...West wind 5-10 to start the morning, out going tide. Steamed off to some deep water looking for a few keeper seabass and maybe some fluke. First location produced a sporadic bite of short seabass and a few short fluke with 1...

Fished with buddies John and Dan on Saturday targeting back bay fluke. ENE breeze at 5kts, beginning of the outgoing. Water was clean, not much weed to speak of. 3 shorts in the first creek with 2 robins to cut up for bait. Bucktails and gulf were on the menu. Decided to grab some spearing...

Well....after over a week and a half in the hospital and surgery, I was able to make it back out with friend John and Adam on Saturday. Chilly and somewhat raw morning with the drizzle and rain. Headed off for some local tog. Scratchy bite with a few keepers in the mix throughout the day. Felt...

Had the pleasure of getting out with my fishing buddies John and Danny yesterday. Left the dock at 7:15am and made a left out of the inlet. Slight chop and roll, but very comfortable. Steamed east checking on the gannets and bunker pods. Dropped in and started to troll about 7 miles east of...

Fished solo yesterday, light ENE breeze and a slight 1-2' chop at the beginning of the outgoing. Took the east side out of the inlet, 3 fleets of boats out in front of Jones. Some chatter about a few bass caught trolling, not too many. Joined the fleet in 40-45' of water and looked around a bit...

Had the pleasure of fishing with my good buddy and long time fishing partner on his CC this Saturday. He had heard good reports of fluking in his neck of the woods, so off we went. Beautiful day on the water. Started the day with the incoming with a light NNE breeze in the west cut. Instant...

Late report from Saturday. Light NNW wind and outgoing when we left the dock at 7am. Fueled up and headed south out of the inlet. Made a quick stop in 65' of water where we had some fish the week prior. Not much there, a couple of small seabass, 2 sandsharks, and that was it. Didn't waste much...

Fished Sunday with good friends Dan and John. Left the dock at 8am, bottom of the outgoing. Stiff NNE wind, 2-3's with a slight SE roll. Steamed south to an old clam bed about 6 miles off, had the place to ourselves. Tons of life. Short fluke, porpoises, large rays, bluefish, seabass, even a few...

Pushed off the dock at 6:05am. The north end of the bay was loaded with adult bunker doing their thing before all the boat traffic picked up. Headed to the Hempstead reef area and found all the shorts you could want. Stayed off the real sticky stuff and found the better bite in 65-70 feet of...

Which is preferred and why? Does a documented vessel also need to be registered in NYS?
