Hey Mitch my pleasure! Enjoy!

A wise choice Mitch! I’ll send them East with Capt. Mike 2moro.

O.K. Mitch - here's what I have. First, a 7' St. Croix Premier "Surf Series" spinner, in ML. I used to plug the bay with this rod, caught a ton of schoolies on it. Works a pencil or Whopper Plopper like it was made for it. Matches perfectly with any reel in the 2500 to 5000 class. I used it...

I have two that I can part with, that I believe will fit your needs. Let me check and come back here.

Late report. Sailed with KenScot and RobbiePav to my offshore office. Unlike the previous three trips there was a significant breeze (initially) pushing us along, necessitating 5oz bucktails. Started catching well, with three for the box, plus a lot of husky Jersey-sized toss-backs...

Quick report. Capt. Mike and Kevin/longcast aboard for a deep trip. Beautiful day, again very slow drift and bite. Lots of hangers-on and "one pump chumps" that wouldn't commit. Ended the day with 4 fish in the box, Mike's the day's best at roughly 4.5lbs. Had one nice biscuit and a half dozen...

Headed deep yesterday with Kevin/Longcast and KenScot on a truly gorgeous ocean. Arrived to find next to no drift. The light breeze and weak tide were in direct opposition, holding us essentially in near-zero drift conditions. This continued throughout the day, even once the tide changed, as...

Yes, agreed. But at 9 bags for the price of 6, I believe this is cheaper. Could be wrong, but I don't think so. What I do like about the pint bottles is that you also get a good amount of the GULP! juice, so no need to buy any extra bottles of the recharger juice if you buy that way. That...

Just a quick note, Dick's (at least the one in Melville, anyway) is having a very decent sale on GULP. Buy 6 bags, get 3 free. Also, that's at the old $7.99 price, not the 2025 $8.99/bag - so more savings. I know, I know, Dick's sucks, I get it. But 9 bags for $49.94 is a good deal, anti-gun BS...

A buddy rolled by the Windmill barge yesterday. Much higher res shots.

The new modded-handle spinner? Awesome!

Inaugural fluke trip a success! Headed out with George, our site host for the first of hopefully many deep fluke trips this season. Had fish right away, a 19.5 and 22" for George, who was high-hook today. Made my usual drifts and we quickly put another two in the box to 23+". Then the tide...

I've never used it, as expensive lures don't live long where I fish, just the same as my cheaper home-made ones. I have a story similar to Overbored though. Like most others on the ocean fluke grounds I normally fish the GULP! 6" grubs, in the usual colors, pink, white, salmon, nook chicken...

One of the few remaining great pleasures of my life is having the boat run like a top on launching - especially after a tough Spring's prep. LET THE GAMES BEGIN ! ! !

Well, it was a S-ton of work, both mechanical and cosmetic. But she came out looking even better than recent Springs, because I polished before I waxed. I don't really like doing that on my 38-yr old gelcoat - there's only so much left on her, but the results came out excellent. Love me my...

Not sayin' I buy into this sort of thing, but after two exhausting days of Spring prep, this has GOT to be a sign - especially so, given the boat's name.

Every ground fishery setback pushes me a little further in that direction. Its both incremental as well as cumulative. We’ll see how it all goes this Season.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/trump-administration-lifts-stop-work-order-5-billion-new-york-offshore-wind-project I was wrong about the timing. And the reason for the stop order order as well. Excerpt: "Equinor said it would make an updated economic assessment in the second quarter, while...

Just read that Pres. Trump set aside the stop work order on the wind farm outside JI. Work to recommence after some B.S. environmental impact studies are completed. Probably re-starting construction sometime late in '26. Thanks, Mr. President. 🤬 Another nail in the coffin. Never a clear head...
