Yup, had about enough of winter myself. March is going to be a long month, unless we get some early action up here in Piermont. Been keeping sane oiling reels, loading redfins, buying/selling gear, and spending far too much time researching the best line to use for fishing weightless Senkos.

Mick, You know, Bottom fishin' in 20 deg temps with 8 ft seas is not my idea of fun, but that is not to say that I think it is the bunk. My Grandpop was an expert bottom fisherman and sailed regularly from Sheepshead Bay in the 20's-40's. It is a fact that the biggest cod I ever caught was 18.5 lbs... Kinda lame for a Montauk boy, no? Yes, I grew up in Rockland Co., so I know about

Paulie, Buried in two feet of snow up here in the Hudson Valley. Just for yucks cleaned my 704z's (again) and am getting ready to catch a cod boat (any you recommend). I'm dying to fish so dragging 20 oz up two hundred feet sounds good at the moment.

Hoping 2010 is the best season yet. Maybe one of those bluefin will pass within casting distance this year. Would LOVE to hear

Hey Paul, Great story. Our wives do add so much to our lives including, as you mention, balance to keep us from going off the deep end! I once rescued a sea gull from the middle of montauk hwy; it appeared stunned and disoriented. Of course, five minutes later my wife was screaming and somehow it became MY IDEA! :)

All the best in 2009.

Mick

Enjoy the season my friend.

2009-11-19T17:31:36.041-05:00

Mick, I have won tournaments on November 30th here in M. Big fish will swim past M, the question is whether or not they will grace the beaches. There have been quality fish taken since Sunday out this way. My crystal is glowing in the Ultra Violet range and my silver fillings are vibrating so much that I can't sleep. What do YOU think it means?

Alright Paul, Look into your chrystal ball. One more shot at Montauk from black friday until Sunday or has the Fat lady sung? When does Dr. Melnyk call it a season?

2009-11-17T18:18:55.049-05:00

The advantage is they cast better, and sink deeper into the water column when you give the plug a jerk. Sometimes this doesn't work. Sometimes it will. Experiment and always bring an unloaded plug to see which one works better...

2009-11-17T18:16:27.405-05:00

The trick is not how many ML (same as cc only most syringes are in ML) the key is to add mineral oil until you reach neutral boyancy in 2 ft of water. start with 10 ml, then submerge in a bathtub with a piece of tape over the whole. The plug should stay in the water column anywhere you set it without floating or sinking. This is neutral boyancy.

2009-11-17T13:04:31.997-05:00

how many ccs of water do you add and what are the advantages of loading them?

Yes.

2009-11-16T05:12:00.677-05:00

Nick, I prefer to drage it off the bottom with a twitch, or sometimes I use more of a straight retreive letting it ride a little higher in the water. I think each has its time and place.

61Mike for the win, another slob. Paul what do you find more effective when using tins? Do you prefer to drage it off the bottom with a twitch, or more of a straight retreive letting it ride a little higher in the water? Or do you think each has its time and place (Ex. Can't bounce on most of the south side rocks)

No, There really aren't any fish around out here in December. In the past they had stayed around until mid month, but that was in the past. If there were fish here, I would persue them the same way as always, only I would dress a good deal warmer.

2009-11-16T02:02:26.156-05:00

what would be your strategy as to catching fish in december in Montauk? (I know they arent many out there, esp. this year, but of course theres still some out there [=)
