That loop for the sinker should be a single overhand knot , so if you get snagged it will pull out . If you tie a surgeon’s loop , you will lose everything.
Hello everyone I'd like to set the story straight I'm the guy that hit the picnic table there's only one fishing string before the picnic table. There was only one picnic table😢😢😢😢
Seabass are not fussy and diamond jigs work great for them. I wish I could get more Williamson ika jigs. Seabass fought over it. It's discontinued, sadly.
One thing you don't hear discussed much, twin engine vs single engine with a kicker. With the kicker, you can have a separate FUEL SUPPLY. If something is wrong with your fuel--and it happens, then the twins are both down, but you kicker with a stand alone fuel tank is a good thing. Mind you, it won't take you all that far, but after you call for a tow, you can close the gap to the tow boat, and keep her head to the swell. With twins, yeah, you can drop an anchor and wait, but heading home with the aux engine and fresh gas is better, IMO.
What WE refer to locally as WHITING are also known as SILVER HAKE. What we commonly call LING are also known as RED HAKE or SQUIRREL HAKE. This is the NORTHERN KINGFISH www.thefisherman.com/article/inshore-specie-profile-the-northern-kingfish/
Omega just came through yesterday out front of Sandy hook and took all the bunker 🤡. This needs to stop. I wonder how many 50” that huge net grabbed. Gonna destroy our fishery.
Every over-slot striped bass shown in this week's report WAS released Walter. For the Manhattan Cup tournament, anglers get a quick length and girth measurement before release to determine a tournament weight (length X girth X girth / 800). Again, over-slot stripers were released. -JH
Rarely has there ever been a pre-spawn bass measuring 47” that is over 50lbs and never has there been one 60lbs. I wasn’t in said contest but it seems necessary to point out it’s actually impossible for that fish to be 60lbs 🤷🏼♂️
Personally, I don't think this fish dropped her eggs, but the length X girth X girth / 800 formula tabbed this fish in a catch and release tournament at 60.16 pounds. To the best of my knowledge, the fish wasn't hung on a scale for a weight. -JH
@@thefishermanmagazine I applaud the anglers for not hanging that fish from a scale- I think we can all agree there’s no need to harm the fish in that way. But using a calculation method (Wood’s equation) developed for tarpon seems like a poor way to determine an accurate weight on a striped bass in a contest. Again I have no skin in the game but having witnessed multiple 60lb fish landed on commercial vessels I have never seen one short of 52” and that one had two big (~18”) Tog in its stomach when it was gutted. Again I applaud the anglers for good handling practices and I hope I don’t come across as being rude with my statements, as my only hope is to create a productive dialogue on the subject.
@@Sir_Defyable in andys liquor store in penns grove nj there was a mount of a striper that was caught in the early 80s berfore the new regs, it was caught in the delaware river.that fish was 48inchs long and weighted 68.8lbs so dont ever say never, the girth on that fish was tremdous,it hung in that store fore 25 years or more.andy took it with him when he sold the place
@@thefishermanmagazinewe already had her out of the water for tape measurements and photos and a quick pic with myself and Kevin Overlander. There was a boga on board but we wanted to get her back in.
