    Captain's Table - '26 Season Begins

    After a blow out last week I finally ran my first charter for ’26 on Wednesday. Under summer like conditions, we started off drifting some of my usually reliable spots for Weakfish in the Peconics. Unfortunately, all 3 areas seemed to be devoid of any Weaks just a few stray Porgies. So, we...

    Night Trip

    Glad to see someone is catching Bass. Nice fish, Matt. It's still a grind on the North Fork.

    Deck Boot Socks

    Thanks for the tip, Overbored. I just purchased a pair of the suggested inserts and they work great, Two straight days of wearing them and my feet feel as good as they do in some of my far more expensive sneakers. Much better than the typical "off the shelf" Dr. Scholls alternatives.

    Fun C&R Codfish Outing

    I agree that both of those factors had a part in the declining stocks of Cod. Let's also not forget the extreme popularity among the fish consuming public and the huge targeted commercial fishery for this species. Finally, I can distinctly remember as a kid being on a Pt. Lookout Party boat...

    NOAA Fisheries - What’s new, what are they responsible for……

    Looks like an interesting approach. And with the $50 contest incentive they should get plenty of participation. Let's hope they do something constructive with the data collected.

    Fun C&R Codfish Outing

    Good eye on picking up the Lami Blank. It was paired with an old Daiwa Sealine 27H carrying 20# mono. I still have the rod but it is way too heavy to fish with compared to today's modern light weight blanks. One more amusing aspect to this particular trip. About 30m minutes after I caught that...

    Fun C&R Codfish Outing

    Cod regulations have become ridiculously strict, and I was kind of hoping you might have a narrow spring window for retention in ME. Sorry to hear it is just a C&R fishery for now. As far as Cod occupying shallower waters. back in the heydays of the early 60's I used to read articles about surf...

    Fun C&R Codfish Outing

    Sounds like a successful "maiden voyage" for '26. Well done. Also looks pretty tasty to me; no way I'm throwing back a nice 24" Cod.

    On the board

    Outstanding. Way to go Vinny! Reports I have gotten out east are water temps still too cold by me. But it sure looks like the bite has really started back to the west.

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    Well done, Whatnot! Those are certainly POE Rowboats with their distinctive red circle logo. And I can see the Orient Lighthouse in the background on the first photo. I can't recall if this predated or came after the overhead rail system. However, you encouraged me to do a quick internet search...

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    Those are classy and very functional rails! I bet the welds were so neat you would think the connection to the stanchions were one piece!

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    Over the years I fished Petty's I would observe the numbers of boats working the area vary a lot. As you mentioned sometimes it would be almost a ghost town and other times a small fleet including most of the local Charter boats would all be scoring well. Then, in less than a 2-year period (I...

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    Man, I would give anything to have a photo or two of that old contraption. Basically, it was an overhead Rail system attached to a flatbed surface upon which they would use a forklift to load the rowboat with all your gear already stowed. Then you would climb in and a good push plus the force of...

    Port Of Egypt Sold

    Thaks, Roccus, for the extra background history on Hinckley, some of which I did already know and some that is new to me. No doubt that Hinckley builds a very high-quality craft and I am also sure that during some of your earliest experiences with them they took care of your needs just l like a...

    This is scary. What would you have done differently.

    Personally, I don't think anyone was questioning his angling skills or work ethic, or what he has given back to the sport. My point was that sometimes people who are every experienced wind up taking chances that they should not and that not only gets them in trouble but perhaps something much...
