Freeport Hudson Anglers Shark Tournament

June 23rd, 2008

Well, the Causeway Crew usually fishes with our great friend Doug Mendez, on his boat “Arabesque”… BUT… Doug was having motor problems with his boat and he ended up getting a ride with one of his friends.

SO… the Causeway Crew didn’t get to fish in the tournament but Doug did…… AND WON IT….. WITH A 414lb THRESHER!!!

DOUG…. YOU ARE THE MAN….. CONGRATS!!!!

We’ve been fishing with Doug for longer than I can remember and we’ve placed in a number of Shark tournaments but never won this one. It’s GREAT to see him bask in the glory….lol.

Pics to follow and we’ll post the official results shortly.

ARC Dehooker Now Available

May 13th, 2008

Having trouble removing your hook from that striped bass? Struggle no more. The new Arc Dehooker is one of the best products available and allows you to remove the hook safely from a fish and keep it alive. This device is supported by NOAA, Sea Grant and other major organizations. We have several different models available so don’t fight with another fish again after you bring it in the boat.

Pre-Rigged Slug-Go’s- NEW!

May 6th, 2008

12_inch_rigged.jpg

We recently added the ALL NEW 9″ and 12″, pre-rigged Slug-Go’s to our inventory. Let us tell you… these things are AWESOME! Not only are they the perfect size for Bass and Blues but they are pre-rigged, with two connected hooks!

Using 4X strong, black nickel, needle point hooks, the 9″ bait comes with a 7/0 nose hook and a 5/0 rear hook. The 12″ features a 9/0 up front and a 7/0 out back. The connection is 50 pound dacron. And the bait is molded onto the rig, rather than the rig being threaded into the bait. These baits start straight and stay straight. The rigging is far more durable than hand rigging, and for those of you that have ever tried to rig a plastic bait like this, it’s NOT EASY to get the hooks straight enough to avoid any spinning!!

Causeway Bait and Tackle Inventory Update

April 23rd, 2008

After our winter long renovations, we’ve managed to put MOST of the store back together. We’re still working on re-filling the new space but here are a few pictures some of the areas we’ve renovated, added to or simply re-filled. We continue to list any new products on the “New Products” section on the Home page!

gammi-wall2.jpg

This is the saltwater Gamakatsu wall along with many different jig heads. For those of you that have been in the shop, you’ll remember we had some of this spread out… now it’s all together in one place! Finally! We have the very popular Octopus, Baitholder, Live Bait, Circle, Shiner, Siwash styles in one place and the freshwater hooks and treble hooks together in another place… hopefully it makes it easier for you to find what you need.

plastics-wall1.jpgSoft Plastics, both saltwater and freshwater, were in a few different places in the shop but we now have them condensed in to one spot, with exception the the Yamamoto plastics. Tsunami Lures, Storm Lures, Slog-Go’s (including the brand new 9″pre-rigged and 12″ pre-rigged Slug-Go’s), Fin-S, Bass Assasin and more are all together now! We also added some new product to the Saltwater Gulp and Saltwater Power Baits!

 rig-wall1.jpg

 Ahhh…. all the Fin Strike rigs and pre-snelled hooks are re-organized now. We had these packed in to a much smaller space last season, making it difficult to find what you needed. BUT, check it out now…. MUCH NICER!

  

plug-wall-11.jpgSurf Lures…. nice… all together in one place now too. Gibbs, Super Strike, Cordell, and Tsunami’s and more… looking good again, instead of being crammed in to the small space we had them in the past!

spro-wall.jpg

LOT’S of Sro Bucktails again! We even added a new 1/4 ounce size and a couple new colors now that we have a little more room! With the Fluke regulations being so rediculous you had to target the bigger fish, so the 6 ounce bucktails became very popular!

tsunami-wall1.jpg

Here is another look at the Tsunami plastics. Tsunami keeps adding cool new lures every year, so it’s nice to have a little more space to display them! The Holographic Shrimp were a hot item last year for the Fluke fisherman and we would expect much of the same this year. These are hot, especially considering it looks like we’ll have a 20.5″ size limit this year!

yamamoto-wall1.jpg

For the freshwater gang, we re-organized the Yamamoto plastics, so they are ALL in one place! Not that we need to sell anything other than the Senkos’s these days!! Without a doubt, the Senko’s are the most popular freshwater lure we sell!

News From Causeway Bait and Tackle

March 31st, 2008

We’ve been working feverishly to get the shop back in order, with the recent renovations making a mess of things. BUT, we have the place looking better, we re-stocked all the new shelves and pegboard and put out lots of new products.

We just received another small shipment of Mackerel color Super Strike lures. These are RARE and the last batch we had sold out in TWO DAYS… get them while they last. They are limited productions from Super Strike and we don’t know when we’ll see more of them. These are NOT available in the store though… ONLY here on the website!

We’re completely stocked up on Grundens foul weather gear and we have added MANY new products to our inventory!

Flounder season opens tomorrow, April 1st and we have all the Flounder hooks, Flounder Rigs, sinkers, Chum Pots, terminal gear and fresh and frozen baits!

We will be posting our fishing reports on this new Blog too… so check back often to find out what is being caught, where it’s being caught and how! We have added an RSS feature to this Blog as well, so you can sign up to receive updates by e-mail!

Good Luck to everyone and have a GREAT SEASON!

The Latest Fishing News

March 26th, 2008

We’re starting to hear of Bunker in all the usual spring spots like Little Neck Bay, Jamaica Bay, Staten Island and Manhassett Bay! This is a good sign! Typically the Bass are not far behind… we’ll keep an ear out, but we haven’t heard of anything in our area yet though.

 Sounds like the Cod action in Monauk has suddenly become awfully quiet, some even think that it may be over. We hope not, but that’s a very real possibility.

 Other than that, we cranked the Freezers up yesterday, filled the Killie tank and we’re expecting our first, of many, frozen bait deliveries! IT’S TIME!!!!!

We got some Mussels delivered and we will be fully stocked with Flounder bait, chum and tackle by the end of the week!

In the shop, we’ve almost finished our renovations and we’re filling up the new shelves and pegs. We apologize to those who have visited the shop during the MESS, but we’re getting things back in order as quickly as we can.

We look forward to seeing everyone again and we hope everyone has a safe and succesfull season!

Check back soon, we’ll keep you updated on any new news and reports.
