Although it could be technique, based on casting distance, I think I may be using a reel too small for the rod. The reel is a Penn Battle II 4000. The rod is an Okuma Rockaway 11' Medium 1102M rated at 3/4 to 3 oz. What size reel should I be looking at ? 4500 ? Even larger ? I want...

on the way back in had 2 or 3 dolphins swim past me in Massapequa Cove. Was shocked last year when I say a pod of 4-5 on the opposite side of biltmore shores, and then hooked into a sand tiger shark while livelining snappers just off the same waterfront homes. I never caught another keeper...

so after starting kayak fishing at age 54 twenty years ago and using a bed extender on a mommy van, then trading that in for a 2010 Ranger with its 6' bed, I have finally traded in the Ranger for a new awd hybrid Maverick. But to enter the 21st century with its electronic suite I had to settle...

not sure how to word this but will try. When I docked in Lindenhurst in the 70s I used to look at tide charts for the two inlets but primarily Fire Is. Usually went to Snakehill so I looked up Fire Is Inlet tides. When I moved the boat in the 80s to Amityville I switched to fishing West...

On the way out as I neared the first channel marker I spotted what I thought was a muskrat swimming perpendicular to my "course", but then I saw the ears ! Tried to herd him back to a beach as he was trying to climb the bulkheading but it kept swimming away. At first I took a photo or two but...

I am going to have to replace my PC within a year as Windows 10 will no longer receive updates and my PC comes just short of meeting 11's requirements. My question is that I have been using Word 2016 and Excel 2016 and want to be able to review, retrieve and modify many of the saved files...

let it be a 22" fluke. (You know what they look like. (Phone is out in my truck.) I had to use a drift sock with the incoming and up to 15kt SW. Green and yellow 3/4 oz buck after a blue (?) took and eventually bit off my favored pink and white yesterday, although I did get a 20" fluke...

Penn International II 12T (IGFA) Absolutely NIB, never spooled, original manual, box, zippered reel bag. "The 12T reel is designed for light tackle use on medium-weight gamefish such as wahoo, striped marlin and similar fish. Each and every International is built in the USA to rigid...

We lost our brother in law last November. My nephew is going through mounds of stuff and found this NIB reel he can only surmise was given to his father as a gift. Is this a collectible or just an older iteration of the reel ? I just kayak fish and surfcast, never been on a party boat or...

the Town of Hempstead, after adding a kayak ramp at Seamans Neck Park in Seaford a couple of years ago, just added one at the end of Newbridge road Park in south Bellmore. Its all the way down, just east of the dog park (run?) and a much shorter walk to the water than the trek at Seamans Neck...

Not sure if anyone herein does the archery thing, but I just posted nearly twenty arrows of varied draw lengths, materials and fletchings on nextdoor and FB. All either found by me at the range and unable to return to original owner, or purchased by me to see what flies best on my compound and...

Had a rough couple of weeks here but there is still plenty to be grateful for !

After finding an app for phone and PC called Windfinder, I found that its high and low tide markers are off by between two and three hours (for Gilgo Beach). I had been using "Tides by Me", a Jones Inlet tide table provided by my town, Snoozeday and the Bunger surf shop. Windfinder pleased me...

Aside from short fluke, I really haven't caught anything from my town's ocean beach this season, or seen any others have any success as yet. Mind you I just fish daytime and no longer drive anywhere else. Yesterday, with a strong NW wind over my shoulder, I used my 9' Lami with a simple Penn...

is tomorrow, October 13, at 10AM. they supply the trowel and the grass bundles. Except for the few of us who scurried up to the top of the dunes to plant, most were washed away in April and May after the annual March planting. Most years a catering company provides beverages and snacks...

will go out on our tandem with SWMBO tomorrow. After today I doubt I kayak fish on the Skimmer 128 until next May. Snagged a peanut and livelined it, drifting for over a mile in backbay. Not a single nip on it. Water temperature probably mid 60s, current not strong, but high tide still a...

Had to walk from one underpass to another before I could get down to my town's ocean beach to cast as the "cliffs" from the constant east winds were 5 feet high. Kastmaster came back with weed on the swivel above it on every cast. One 15" fluke in an hour and decided to call it. Sweep not...
