I've been fishing the East River with a fly rod with limited success. I recently saw a video where someone argued strongly that in fast water, like the East River, Stripers, and I guess blues, will be on the bottom where the current is slower. I always thought stripers like very fast water, and...

05 February 2011 | 7:29 PM Lee Tolliver Pilot Online Where are the striper? Maybe dead on the bottom or washed up on the beach Talked to several charter captains today and they all had the same thing to say. Since the massive striped bass kill near Oregon Inlet, anglers were having trouble...

I'm not talking about on the ladies either shake.gif ... i'm talking about river bottom. HAHA ! Mud flats, soft, big rocks, gravel ? We have a nice mix of just about all in my neck of the woods and tried all of them as well. I see guys just about everywhere when we are out, weather it's...

Fishing for scup, sea bass and fluke has been pretty good so far this year. Many (most?) days we are hitting boat limits for all three species. Striped bass fishing off of Block Island has been insane. Mainly on diamond jigs, one of my favorite ways to fish for them.

Took a Friend Kevin and his boy Robert out this morning for some fun in my little boat. His facial expressions says it all! Robert caught the first and the biggest perch. A great time enjoyed with great friends...

Looking for Cinder Bottom on the back side of Faulkners Island. Anyone have a coordinate. I have hit some good spots out there and landed a fair amount of fish. Problem is whenever I get to where I think it is my Fish Finder gets all weird and does not show a depth. Only happens in this one...

what's up Mainah's! I've read a few threads now that talk about floating worms or chunk off of the bottom as a good method for a) catching fish and b) keeping the crabs at bay. I've used the "typical" bottom rig with some luck but also find myself fighting the crabs and other bait stealers more...

When fishing from shore, I have been instructed to use a fish-finder and a sinker to place my fish chunk, worm, or clam out into the incoming or outgoing current. I guess the theory is that the sinker will sink straight down and the bait product will float above it, seductively undulating in the...

Has anyone ever tried this?? My idea is to run my mainline to a 3 way swivel with a bottom bouncer or walking sinker for weight followed by 6-8 feet of flouro leader and a large crank bait or maybe even tube n worm... My thinking is that the weight will keep it close to bottom for the tube n...

Hey guys. Does anybody know of a decent way to remove bottom paint? I looked into soda blasting but its just not in the budget right now. Thanks.

Do you guys think that a fourteen foot jonboat would be sufficient for the river providing there's no stormy weather and it's not too windy out? How do you think the flat bottom would fare?

DOES IT REALLY WORK? tried it today NOTHING!

Well, I'm prep'ing my boat for a new coat of bottom paint. The existing paint is toast. I'm power washing off the old paint and its coming off nicely. Actually its going pretty well. I may be able to get it all clear in about 2-3 more bouts with the powerwasher... Problem here is that I found...

Sunday,5-14-06; The winds are blowing again so I finally got a break long enough to catch up on some of my "paper work". Yesterday we met up with the gang from Fayetteville, NC. They were Tony Cameron,Fred White, Billy Owens,Clyde Brooks, and James Williams. We went after bottom fish and we...
