[capt_morgan]

went out to the shinnecock jetty near hampton bays for flounder but the water is still too cold.

caught a crab, a skate, and a sea robin.

[clouseau]

all i caught was a dirty look from the missus when i told her i was goin' fishin'....

[capt_morgan]

yea, but they usually understand once the freezer is full of fish

[clouseau]

or freak , when it's full of bait i forgot !

[capt_morgan]

yea...i got a big tub in there too

squid, clams, and spearing

[clouseau]

got the 4 - wheel permit for NYS beaches in suffolk - it's a drag that they closed Gilgo (on account of all the dead hookers turning up), 'cause it's on the way home from work, and a great excuse for bailin' on the traffic of the Southern State - er, fishing i mean ! Yes... fishing !

[capt_morgan]

scoped out some new spots for blue crabs by bellport....and bravo fresh has chicken quarters for 49 cents a pound

not having a 4 wheeler cuts our potential spots in half

[clouseau]

can't wait to get out - i drive to Williamsburg Bklyn everyday and get so sick of the traffic coming home that once it gets warm, i tend to bail for the ocean view along Ocean pkwy from Jones to Robt. Moses - mostly hit the Sore Thumb across from Democrat Pt. - often rolling back west to the Overlook Beach border where i often meet the missus.....aaaah, summertime !

[clouseau]

i have a buddy who hits Smith Pt. a lot, and my pass covers it also..if that's near you, maybe we can hook up...

[capt_morgan]

definitely...its only about 15 min

[clouseau]

pass also good for Napeague, Hither Hills, and Montauk Pt, as well as sunken meadow and wildwood state parks !

[clouseau]

can always use more fishin' buddies!

[capt_morgan]

yea seriously...i been tryin to get people to go for 2 years now...its still just me and nicole

we should set something up

[Tabbooma]

ain't tellin'

[capt_morgan]

common!!! commoncommocncommconcommon

[clouseau]

took a Modern Family break...ya mon- i just have to pull off my Big Dirty so i can get my life straight and tighten up the suspension on the fish rig before i put it on the sand again...

[capt_morgan]

i have no idea what that means

[clouseau]

it's a trailer park boys reference...the Big Dirty ! aka caper, etc. i've got mine planned for this Sunday...although i won't be robbing a gumball machine...

[capt_morgan]

i was thinking the same....checked the weather and the next nice run we get is sunday and monday...hopin the water comes up another degree or two by then

[clouseau]

hafta work unfortunately sun, - mon is possible -temps ok for winter flounder -fluke hafta be monsters to keep....

[capt_morgan]

18 inches right?

[clouseau]

Try 19.5 !!! and 4/day if you can... winter flounder 12 in. min. - 2/day limit - but that season ends May 30...start spreadin' the corn....

[capt_morgan]

yea...thats a doormat

[capt_morgan]

if you can weed through the shorts they do pop up
ive had good luck in large patches of seaweed...seemed like the big ones were hiding out in there

[clouseau]

i understand they have to manage fish populations, but with such a high length number on fluke, there are bound to be many "shorts" casualties as a result - 17 or 18 would be a more realistic # - it's gonna be a real shit season for party boats as well....

[capt_morgan]

seriously...no matter how careful i am taking hooks out...some of them just dont make it

[capt_morgan]

heading over to cedar beach to see if we cant snag a few porgies for dinner

[MeOmYo]

headed out on Otsego Lake tomorrow for walleye

[capt_morgan]

take some pics for us

[capt_morgan]

we broke the ice...first flounder of the season

[clouseau]

Sweeeet ! Did you catch that at cedar ?

[Tabbooma]

Tabbooma went to Swanson's fish market last weekend and caught a couple lobsters, clams, tuna and some shrimp

[clouseau]

i once caught a bad Quesadilla - had them dillas for about a week...

[clouseau]

New Yorkers!!! Don't forget !!! You must register with the DEC to fish saltwater marine waters ! Register online @ http://www.dec.ny.go...tdoor/7894.html

[Tabbooma]

Is there a cost in NY for a license to fish salt water?

[clouseau]

It's absolutely free - but you need to register or risk a fine - you can do it online @ above link, or @ your local licensing facility...for a while they had the balls to charge $10/ yr., 0r in multiples (i think i did a 2 or 3 yr. @ the time). They(NYS) also had a lifetime for $75, which i'm glad i never bought...and it was a little green plastic card , same as the freshwater license...

[Tabbooma]

Tabbooma is not sure if CT still has the fee, seems like total BS to pay for saltwater license... Good fishing to everyone

[clouseau]

...and no one's ever even checked... i guess the only local constabulary's gonna break your balls about it is Officer Joe Dilligent or someone who's lookin' for an excuse to give you the shoreline heave - ho....it's never a bad idea to just do it and cover your ass, 'specially when it's free....

[capt_morgan]

Sweeeet ! Did you catch that at cedar ?

yea! i had no idea they were even in there

sio, went out to the shinnicock jetty again yesturday and got skunked...no action at all.

fluke season just opened
they're killing them on the north shore right now...from cedar beach to smith town

[MeOmYo]

Got skunked all around on Saturday. First with turkey, then fishing. Fished for walleye under the clouds and switched for lakers under the sun. Was an awesome day nonetheless.

[clouseau]

Aaah...Mother's @ the Fillmore - one of my alltime faves! Bring the band on down behind me boys.....let me tell ya - this dance - the Mudshark - is sweeping the ocean....!
