  1. Saltwater Tackle Shop
    Hi fellas! I am an angler with moderate success, have some seasons on me and had some nice fish. But never paid attention to the tackle really, I use different types of rods/reels. Ugly stick, Shakespeare and Okuma, nothing fancy but very affordable. BUT this 2017 season I would like to try...
  2. Upper Hudson River Striper Club
    Well, I did it. No more kayak fishing for me, at least for a while. I purchased a used 17.5 ft aluminum boat with a 90 hp motor. I'm very excited to say the least. Rather than have to trailer launch every outing, I've decided to keep it on the water for at least part of the striper season...

  4. Stripers 101 - The Beginners clinic.
    I have a pier I can use to cast a net from. I have never done this but it looks interesting. Could some one recommend a cast net to start off with. I think it would be a neat way to get some minnows up. Tight lines, J.R.

    I have purchased a few Shimano Tekota 500lc and 2 Shimano Cardiff 400a. The Tekotas will be used for downling shad and used with smaller planer boards. Will do some jigging with these rods. The cardiffs will be used for casting 1/2 oz to 2oz lures. I am looking for good rods to pair these reels...

    Hello all, and good luck this year! I've been looking for a new yak fishing friendly vest. Last one I bought ended up being too bulky on long trips (so I tended not to wear it). Any Recommendations?

    hi, i want to throw 1-4 oz plugs, lures, poppers and spoons from break water structures, jetty and sometimes from the beach, so i need a spinning rod which can cover a long distance and have a strong backbone to fight with kings, queens and trevalys and have lighter in weight, i want to match...
  9. Stripers 101 - The Beginners clinic.
    My 13 yo son and I are looking for recommendations for rod and reel combos. We're planning on fishing the lower CT river and into the sound by boat for stripers. We'd be drifting, trolling and casting. What would be a good all around setup? Thanks
  10. Surfcasting Central
    Looking for some words of wisdom for a conventional setup. I have an 11' fast action, and I will use it for bait. Level wind, or no level wind? Mag or plain? Brand and modle reccommendations are greatly appreciated.

  17. New Jersey
    So what type of structure should I be looking for since I fish solely from shore? Is it important to be in/near deep water or is shallower water more productive? Also- rocky bottom or soft?
