    One fluke

    Step, I don't think we might've crossed paths - I'm 82 - I made my own Mackerel rigs also - But I learned the hard way - Don't put on more than 4, plus your Diamond jig - Like you said - The line would break, because you had to try and swing them over the rail - The Boston's were big back then...

    One fluke

    Blue, sure they did - We used them for our Boston Mackerel - In the 60's - We'd put on about seven hooks with a diamond jig at the end. Step, I would wade in the water and snapper fish - That little coffee shop was right at the end of the bridge - At one time they rented row boats My father and...

    One fluke

    My memories of Coney Island are great- Steeplechase was unbelievable at the time - When you first went in - You had to walk over this place where they blew air up the girls/women's skirts - We would stand out side and watch - Then they had the horses - My favorite - The also had a salt water...

    One fluke

    I never caught a thing off the pier - They were selling hot pretzels and Mom's knishes - When I would walk from my house to Canarsie Pier, their was this old Jewish guy right on the corner selling Mom's knishes and hot pretzels for 5 cents - I always got a pretzel with plenty of salt - No...

    One fluke

    Step, I'll bet it was a Blue - I remember when it was called Steeplechase Pier - Your right - It was a little shack right in the middle of the pier - At first all it sold was bait - Then coffee, soda, hot dogs fries and hamburgers - I think it was run by two women, because I remember two women...

    One fluke

    They had the roast pork on a bun, chow mien on a bun, bbq on the bun and roast beef on a bun - Nathan's fries for me are the only fries I only put on salt - No ketchup at all - They were delicious - When Captain Walter passed, his son Bob upgraded the boat to the Lady Flamingo - As far as I know...

    One fluke

    When we fished off the Eagle - We caught Macks and Blue fish - We gave the fish to the boat and asked what do they do with them - I was told they will use some for bait and donate the rest to the religious houses to feed the needed - In the bay, was told they couldn't sell the fish - The fish...

    One fluke

    Step, in New Jersey you can fish for Tog all year long - They just have 4 different seasons - They are also 15" - We have 2 season as you know - For the month of April, 2 fish at 16" - October 15 - December 22, 4 fish at 16". I use fish off the Golden Eagle out of Belmar once or twice a year -...

    One fluke

    You can't compare today's fishing to 50 years ago - 50 years ago - There were less regs - less fisherman/woman - less boats - There wasn't a storm like sandy to tear the bottom of the ocean apart - It's like trying to compare going fishing on a party boat - Where it might've cost $40 or so 50...

    I have a question

    Step, you can't drag nets, they would lose them or come back all torn up, they use traps/pots - Like those hotel crab traps - They throw hundreds of them in Jamaica Bay - We were in the creek one day and we watched this guy pull up trap after trap, we counted 50 when we stopped - They were...

    I have a question

    I love Black fishing - I love eating Black fish - When Black fish season opens, it's crazy - Had to order your crabs in advance - Everyone is fishing for them - So here is the 64 thousand dollar question, that no one can answer right now - Even the guy's I know selling fish - Why is it we can't...

    What’s going on with prices

    Step, here in Staten Island we don't have that many privately owned fish stores left - I think there is only one left and it's now owned, by Asians The prices are off the charts - For me the best place for me is, especially around the holiday's is - La Bella Market Place - They have fresh fish...

    Cracker Barrel

    WE don't have any by me - I heard good things and bad things about their food - Mostly good - Now with their disgusting new logo - To me, if I was to drive by it, it doesn't look like a restaurant - it looks like a - CAR DEALERSHIP - A place if I could, I would not go there at all - 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇸...

    War criminal Vladimir Putin

    Here's my lousy 2 cents - Zelinsky & Putin don't want peace - Zelinsky wants our money, so he can get richer - Putin wants land and loves the power - So between them both President Trump will get nothing from those two - No matter how he tries - This is what I would do - Stop all aid, includes...
