    Titanium Fishing Pliers

    Those are similar to what I currently use. They look like my small bolt cutters. Hopefully I never have to use them. But it pays to be prepared.

    Snapware Square-Grip Canister, 4.4 cups

    I guess the old ones with the “stay on snap lid” are gone. Admittedly they did leak a bit.

    Snapware Square-Grip Canister, 4.4 cups

    I think back in 2020 Snapware Square-Grip Canister canisters were recommend to store GULP for fishing trips. One broke and I left one on a friends boat. ☹ I looked on Amazon and they say “Currently unavailable: We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.” So, I am looking for...

    Titanium Fishing Pliers

    I'm sure you are correct. This is one of the tools you never hope to use. I went on Amazon to look at reviews. The say for treble hooks it does not work too good. Especially if you have two of the three hooks in you. It is expensive. But if you need it....

    They seem a lot easier to carry than bolt cutters. I wonder if they work?

    Titanium Fishing Pliers

    I have a cheapo set of aluminum pliers I got at a local tackle shop. I was looking for something to cut hooks (under the heading of "just in case.) The small bolt cutters are good for that. But I figure if get fishing pliers that cut hooks, I'm killing 2 birds. I had someone who would sell a...

    Titanium Fishing Pliers

    Just in case anyone get "hooked", I carry a pair of small bolt cutters on the boat. I have seen videos where experienced Captains tie string around the hook and remove it. Not for me. I would rather cut the barb off. I saw a used pair of Gomexus Titanium Fishing Pliers 7.5". Hooks are pretty...

    Snow melt off effects on fishing in the NY Bight & LI Sound

    Interesting observation. Like Snapprhead27 I can’t say I have never paid much attention snow/salt in the street vs fishing. Snow on Long Island can be highly variable. The last two years I do not remember much snow. I do keep a log. So, this year I will put under the 2026 year something to the...

    Sad news for bass

    Dead discards is a problem here too. I was drifting for fluke in the Long Island Sound. A Dragger pulls up and stops. I assumed he was cleaning fish. Next thing I know I see dead Striped bass floating by, dead Black Sea Bass. I assume the fluke go straight to the bottom. I talked to a few...

    Looking forward to the show. I have a question. Does anyone know what time will they open the gates and let people into the parking lot? I come early to get a close spot. I usually buy stuff that having a close spot allows me to go to my car, drop off the stuff and go back to buy more :) Maybe...

    Blackfish Jigs and colors

    Beside hooks, there are a ton of shapes. The only thing I can think of is the some shapes are less likely to get stuck on a sticky bottom If color does not matter much, do doubt the eyes will be an advantage.

    According to John Skinner, “The hooks are the same for any given weight.”
