Happy Birthday @cany !!!!

Well, I know most of us Mainers are having a "challenging" season. Was bored silly today with the rain, and decided to evaluate how bad it has been. Well, it's F-ing HORRIBLE. This is an historical summary of the last 6 seasons for when the bass start biting in May through June 28...

Philosophical Question Yesterday was destined to be an "off" day considering it the On Again/Off Again bite as of late, and it certainly did not disappoint, me nor two other colleagues. Between the 3 of us, there were 9 or 10 disinterested follow the plug events and one brief hookup. In my...

Well after 10 days of dawn fishing trips, along with quite a few evenings too, along with the occasional mid-day run to boot, I finally shed the demons this evening with a 26". Today's dawn patrol was 1 brief hookup, along with another hit and a follow. I also dropped another one this evening...

Best summed up by "A Loon Talking To A Loon" Long story short: I've been out at least once per day, often twice with the occasional triple, since May 15 targeting stripers, and it's been Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah!! Not a single hookup, hit, blow up on the plug or even follow. Haven't seen a bass break...

My biggest gripe with this first generation of AI is best summed up as overstatement of the obvious. Now that the search engines routinely plop down the AI answer for the first response to the search, I've programmed my brain to totally ignore that. Well today's AI result shows a bit more I in...

Learned Colleagues: I splashed Monday, hooked up the Garmin GPSMap 4212 and fired up everything, including the radar, and all was good on my trip from the boatyard to home. Went out on Thursday and after things hazed up, I flipped on the Radar and got an Error Code 6. When I got back to the...

History dictates that I have at least 10 days before I'm into those striped fish, with 2 weeks being more likely. Yesterday was the first rainless one in a long time and since the lawn is soaked, cutting the grass was out of the question. What to do?? Throw the cod rods into the boat and do...

It's @JBayRoyal's Birthday today!!! Have a wonderful day!! With the recent events at Chez MoJoe, she's been especially busy, so I petitioned Leo XIV for instant canonization for her as a special birthday present. Lord knows she has the patience of a saint!!

These 1" long fish were seen this AM on all of the patches of the green sea weed I saw as I walked to my shellfishing spot this AM. They were alive and would react if poked. Since I live on a tidal river that has a significant elver fishery I'm wondering if they're really small elvers, as the...

Check out the chipping along this cherrystone. That is work of a green crab trying to have dinner. Looks like it gave up. If they can chew up hard shells, imagine what they do to soft shells, mussels, razors, and oysters, which have much thinner shells around their "mouth"!!

Here's an interactive map to see which buoys near you are being considered for removal: Where's My Buoy?? WARNING - That map has errors. It has Buoy 11 off of Port Jefferson marked, but clicking on it, it comes up as Port Chester Buoy. Since none of the other Eastern North Shore Cans, 9, 7, 5...

Daniel Avila/New York City Department of Parks & Recreation The city’s shipwreck hunter, Nate Grove, described his finds like this: “No pirate ships, no treasure chests, no doubloons, no corpses.” He has found what he expected to find, pleasure boats, 78 in the last 12 months, mostly 20- to...

Ever since the 2024 striped bass regs were set by ASMFC different MD for hire groups have tried to get different courts to rule against it. Well looks like they've hit a major judicial dead end, at least for now; they can always try to have the new Secretary of Commerce force changes SUPREME...

This article is Maine specific, but it's happening all along the East Coast. The article itself was over the character limit, so I attached a PDF with the entire article. It's a good read... Maine’s groundfishing industry is in decline. Saving it is complicated. March 2, 2025 Ralph...

From today's NY Times. Interesting fishery, cutting huge holes in the ice and putting down decoys to attract the sturgeon. Must have had something like this in Maine, as many antique shops have the decoys in them... A Fishing Season That Lasts Just 17 Minutes Despite its brevity, the rush to...
