Be good to your fish

Thanks to Anthony from Hamlin, NY for this picture.  While not exactly a kiss, it looks like its going in that direction so your shirt's in the mail!

Rare Sperm Whale fart caught on tape

From your friends at Squid Force "A sperm whale farted and we caught it on tape on a shoot in the Azores last year.  Very funny."  See this and more amazing underwater footage on the Adventures of Squid Force Channel

Kiss Your Fish

Nice fish!  Thanks to Jamie Johnson from Virginia Beach for this pic.

First striped bass of the year

 

I managed to get out for some fishing this morning.  (My first trip of the year).   It was about 45 degrees with a light East wind.  I fished the last of the outgoing tide at a small creek on Shinnecock  Bay in Southampton, NY. I got there at about 3:45AM and was fishing by 4:00AM.  I caught my first (and only) bass at about 5 a.m. It was 18 - 20 inches.  I later  hooked and lost one bluefish.  All fish were caught using a yellow and white Hollow Fleye.  I'm back out mid week and will report back.

As some of you know, I had posted a countdown clock 2 months ago.  I beat the clock by 1 day and 9 hours!

Kiss your fish

Is there a better way to celebrate Spring?  I hope to be kissing my first fish of the season tomorrow (maybe out going tide tonight???) out on East end of Long Island. I hear there are fish on gthe sand beaches of Montauk too! I'll report back in the morning.

If you have any pictures send them our way.
