  1. That is actually a really good point and not something I'd think of! Glad to see the town is doing something about the water quality over there.
  2. Grew up swimming and clamming in that lake but recently it hasn't been a place I'd want to eat from lol
  3. Last weekend I noticed a floating dock with a shed on it anchored/moored in Lake Montauk right behind The Crow's Nest (southwest corner of the lake) Anybody know what it is for? Seems like it might be owned by the town but who knows what is going on out there. Thanks!
  4. I use whatever light spinning set-up is closest to my garage door on the way out but I always make sure to bring a snapper popper with a small metal jig at the end. I retrieve it with an almost walk the dog type action and its a killer, even compared to small kastmasters or spoons.
  5. The most informative breakdown of fishing reel handles I have ever seen lol! I use a J&H on my accurist and an Abu Garcia factory power handle on my Ambassadeurs and I like both more than the paddles but never thought to compare them with any others. While Skinner gets a lot of hate on here (some possibly warranted, some not) I am interested in that rod. An affordable spiral wrapped rod that can handle the various bucktails needed in both the bays and oceans around Long Island sounds like a good deal, regardless of the name attached to it. I'd like to check one out next time I am out that way but if it can handle all types of bucktails while also holding up to chicken rigs with heavy sinkers I may have to pick one up. Good luck with the set-up!
  6. Also a Windfinder guy, works very well around Long Island.
  7. Hey guys, I am stripping an old reel of mono to replace with braid. I don't want to just throw away hundreds of feet of mono since that can't be good for the enviornment and I've heard about programs that take and recycle or destroy mono line which seems like a much better idea. Anybody know of a place on Long Island (hopefully Nassau County) that would take old mono? Thanks!
  8. How do you feel about selling just the rod? I'm local (Massapequa) so we could figure something out. Thanks!
  9. Like the title says, I'd like to buy a 6in/1oz Cotton Cordell pencil popper in Smokey Joe color. Would prefer NIB but will take very good condition used. Lost mine tonight and it has been my favorite lure all season so I'd like to replace it. Thanks!
  10. Sorry to bump an old thread! @gorkmonster Sent you a PM
  11. I've seen the same thing happen in Massapequa, Wantagh, and Seaford. I think the regs for snappers have been the same for so long that people never even thought to look them up (or they just dont care lol)
  12. As of yesterday Liar's is definitely still open lol. The beach and town were PACKED on Sunday and Monday but things slowed down by the afternoon yesterday. I overhead the guy working the tackle shop at Star Island talking about renters and how houses this year are being rented later into the fall than usual. I bet this fall will be relatively busy with everyone WFH and afraid to head back to the city.
