  1. That’s too bad-most whales die from boat strikes. happy new year everyone!
  2. Big business is KILLING all the mom and pop shops - COVID is the last straw for most of the shops by me in NYC. I spend all of my fishing dollars at the local small businesses in the areas I fish. Will it make a difference? Probably not, but it makes me feel that I am keeping something alive, which gives me much pleasure... Dana.
  3. Yes it was absolutely beautiful weekend. I decided to winterize the boat instead of splashing it for the last time. I did think about putting it on the mooring but I pulled the ball as I have to replace the chains in the spring.
  4. Between the mung and the moon last night I struck out. Tonight will be better!
  5. I’m headed up now for the weekend, not sure whether I’m going to splash the boat or not. At very least I’ll hit the backside, most probably starting by the old Coast guard Station tonight around 11....... hopefully I’ll have something to report in the morning! Dana
  6. FWIW - I have found that the minimum distance/depth is the hundred fathom curve outside the shipping lanes........
  7. There are a lot of marlin off the Cape, both white and blue. Hardly anybody fishes for them, but I’ve had them come up on my spread numerous occasions. If you look at the big game fishing world, you come north for GBFT, south for billfish. All the guys I know that live down in the islands or in central America dream of coming north to catch a giant bluefin tuna off Cape Cod or Nova Scotia. And of course everyone up here wants to go to the islands to catch a grander blue marlin!!! Having done both on numerous occasions, I will take tuna over Marlin any day. Cape Cod fun fact number 23: there are numerous opportunities to catch mahi not too far off the coast. Try going to the closest offshore trap line(or any of the navigation buoys for that matter) approach with caution, then cast a popper or a fly as close to the buoy as you can get. You’ll be surprised at how many times you will catch mahi or cobia, both excellent eating game fish. It’s just that nobody up here really does that very often. There is no one specific spot, basically you’ll have to be prepared to do some traveling and jump from buoy to buoy until you find fish. On the other hand you can go way out and find fingers of warm Gulfstream water. If you’ve never done it it’s worth the trip. The water will turn from dark blue to bright green, with all sorts of life running back-and-forth between the cold and warm sides. dana
  8. Cat - THAT photo of you taking the picture is a true paradigm: it takes a big set of balls to stand that deep, that close to Whitey, just to get a picture. I guess you’re really not standing ball deep then:()
  9. Do you know what’s even crazier? Last year around this time of year, I was walking from the Coast Guard station south towards the dune shacks...... One of the bird people (a young girl) was riding a four wheeler along the high tide mark. She stopped to tell me about watching out for the baby birds. While she was talking I looked at her clipboard, which had no information on it. This whole thing is a self-serving crock of rotten skate. Kones1 is right, we all need to band together and take action to make our voices heard. yes it will take effort and it is time consuming but it’s the only way we’re going to get any results.
