    If you only net one fish...

    ...let it be a personal best on a kayak. Almost talked myself out of going with the onshore wind forecast. As I was paddling out the creek two boats were hightailing it to their respective docks. Uh-oh. Anyway, after finding most if not all snappers already too large to liveline for my...

    Blues, peanuts and just some snappers

    Out the creek the last of outgoing and finally got two snappers small enough for bait. First really bad wind knot in years and those two would be it this morning ! Tremendous hit just off a channel pole in less than 6' of water at dead low. I got to test my new net after what seemed like a...

    Penn 4400 SS No non reverse

    I have other reels but have had this one for years and wonder if it is worth repairing. You tube seems to indicate that there is a "dog" on one part that when the non-reverse lever is used it stops the handle/crank from back reeling. I didn't think the reel got so much work that it wore that...

    Net needed

    Without breaking the bank, I need to replace my landing net after the hoop separated landing a blue yesterday. I have an old one with a dilapidated net but am unable to separate the hoop from handle and so can't reuse the net from the broken one. Amazon had practically none that did not fold...

    Backbay blues

    What little snappers in the way of quantity has already turned into quality as most in my area are at least 7 and 8 inches long, with most being too long to liveline. But Saturday the first blue of about 18 or 19" was hooked in the lip and ended on a stringer. Using the remaining smaller...

    Peanuts or snappers ?

    I have been having one of my worst seasons in years in my backbay kayaking forays. No keepers in a month. (I have been seeing dolphins on most paddles during this past month.) What I have yet to see is the usual bunch of peanuts getting attacked but instead the dolphins are herding and...

    what size spinning reel ?

    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...

    just shorts again but

    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...

    new kayak carrier

    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...

    tides question, Great South Bay

    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...

    Just shorts but saved a bunny

    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...

    Computer question

    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...

    if you only get one fish

    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 12T

    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...

    More Kayak put in sites

    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...

    various arrows

    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...

    Tide tables

    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...

    Bluefish I guess

    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...
