  1. Hey, looking for new friends to fish with around the nassau south shore area. It seems these days if I want to get out I am always on my own. I mostly fish from jones to robert moses. If anyone is down to meet up send me a msg. Im cool with surf, pier, jetty, whatever. Tight lines.
  2. Hey, I really want to get into kayak fishing this year but I don't know where to start. I'm in long island and want to fish the bays and backwaters behind Jones/Moses and also the town bays in this area. I was going to buy a roof rack first with some tax return money and then hopefully get a yak before spring. I would like some advice on what kind of roof rack and yak to buy based on the fishing I would be doing. I have a 2015 chevy cruze and would like to carry the yak and a small rod holder (2-3) rods. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I am also looking for new friends who would be willing to kayak fish with me next season as most of my friends only surf fish. Thanks so much guys, Andrew
  3. Watched a guy live line them under a bridge at changing tide for big bass several days in a row. One over 40#. It works.
  4. For me, turkey in soups, stews, stocks, ext. There's more flavor. As a stand alone I prefer chicken.
  5. Yup, I'd say its a rainbow. Its always hard to I'd from a picture. The fins for example can be big clues and here they are folded up along the body. Many lake rainbow trout loose their red-pink hued stripe that stream or river fish have. The color seems to be greenish or at least dark, where as a salmon would normaly be silver in color.
  6. Haha good point but I'm not asking for pictures, just more evidence into why certain things work or why they don't. If one says a certain rod is terrible, explain why, don't just give the opinion and fail to elaborate.
  7. As modern fishermen, there is a plethora of gear available for us to purchase. However, most of us have limited funds which makes us cautious about the things we buy. We often scour through forums to find evidence justifying our purchases and to acquire information about products that interest us. Although there is certainly great advice to be found, I see many responses that lack any real evidence or logic behind them. People often respond "I heard that that rod is terrible", or that it "doesn't hold up", but they fail to offer any real evidence. Many of them might have experience with these products, but just don't mention the specifics, they just give their opinion. Other times, I feel the reviews of a few people propagate, spreading to become a collective opinion that's not evidenced by reality. Almost like a Pyramid scheme, where a leader recruits a bunch of followers based on empty promises. The point of all this is that while have a great resource available to us, the quality of the information that we give determines the quality that we get. This is of course a community where people have fun and converse casually, but it is also a reference where a lot people look for advice. In conclusion, I urge you to think about your responses, try to provide as much sound information as possible and think about the context in which they will be read. Make evidenced and clear remarks about products or don't put them up at all. It will make this site a better place for all of us to learn and reference when we need to and it will cut out all the bull s*** people looking for answers have to read through. This site rules! I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I just think some posts could be a little more refined. Opinions anyone? Anyone buy something that people said would suck and love it? The opposite?
  8. "2015 Ward Melville Fishing Club Expo" Hell Yea!
  9. That was awesome, thanks for posting that video Knot, Ritchie was sick back in the day.
  10. No, you seem very curious about it though
  11. Hell no, we all know that doesn't really work
  12. This is ridiculous, the flounder and health of our estuaries should be more important than the few extra bucks these party boats and buissneses will make from this. I will look into this, the Dec and policy makers will hear from me.

I have one brutal iron skillet that I use for 90% of my stovetop cooking but getting that puppy up to that kind of temperature is hard (and kinda scary!). I have some decent quality aluminum and stainless, but nothing professional grade. What should I be looking for if I decide to go buy one to really make this cooking technique work like its supposed to? i use my cast iron pans on the grill all the time. I get it hot as **** and then sear steaks with the lid of the grill open. Works great and puts a great even char. I love cast iron cook-wear, it is incredible.
