Comment on Purchasing a Rod… “The Right Tool For The Right Job” by Brian R

Brian R — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:31:56 +0000

Hello,

I am looking for a rod that can handle 6-8 oz of lead (maybe 10 in a pinch) for wrecks (sea bass, porgy, blacks) and possibly double up as an ocean fluke rod. Im looking a sensitive rod but at the same time be able to handle the lead. something in the 7ft range and would be used predominately on Party Boats.

i have a rod that i use up to 5 ounces. but can not really handle more than that.

Grundens does not make the #16 Bibs with a zipper, we do stock the Aquaskinz Albatross Bibs that have a zipper.

If you go to our home page and click “Shop by manufacturer” you’ll see Aquaskinz. I own a pair and love them. I also wrote a product review here on the Blog about them too!

Good Luck

Does anyone out there realize why the commercial guys are doing what they are doing? Where did you buy fish ten years ago? At a Fishmonger, now where do you buy fish? Every Supermarket has a fishcounter where a whole counter full of fish lay until they are thrown away at the end of the week because not enough was sold to the public that demanded this counter be there. How many tons of fish must go in the garbage every week.
if you have to buy fish buy it at a fish store not the supermarket, let the store owners close these counters down so the commercial guys will need to cut down their haul every day and leave some for the recreational fisherman.

This is insane-how do you close the fluke season? My husband and I look forward to it every year-we go to Montauk. Now we will do something else that week and it will hurt the tourist trade so badly! Please rethink the closing. I will live with the ridiculous size limit but please don’t close down any of the summer!

James, thanks for the info. Unfortunately, we can only cover so much and are as good as our visitors reports. We would like more people like you to come out of the shadows and contact us with any info or reports so we can help better the experience here.

If you hit Forrest City again, please email us, stop by the shop or call us and let us know what day you fished, what part of the pond, time of day, what bait/lures you used, and of course what you caught. I’m sure people will find your comment and future comments helpful.

Sometimes air pressure after a cold front can cause freshwater fish not to bite. especially in the spring. Also, I see forest city pond always getting left out. I was there a few days ago and caught 2 nice largemouth in an hour and a half.

The regular person does not matter. All the fish belong to the commercial fishermen. Recreational fishers are not entitled to any. The commercial trawlers have the nets to take them all and they do. They are not stopped. They catch small fish and big fish. Just look at the filets in the stores. Some of them obviously come from very small fish. The recreational fisherman must forget fishing. Maybe we should learn to raise chickens.

Agreed. These regulations go way over the mark. Thanks for setting up the template letters - a great way to help people speak out.

I’ve printed mine - I just added a couple of sentences of my own at the start and the end so the letter looks unique.

Best of luck with this, guys.

Comment on ANTI FISHING LAW IN NEW YORK??????? YUP, it’s already in Albany! by Chuck

Chuck — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:45:16 +0000

Here is MY e-mail to him, and my letter will be in the mail today as well!

Mr. Englebright,

I’m a resident of Suffolk County and I’m absolutely appalled that one of my “Elected Officials” would introduce and or support this bill!

Are you even aware of the obscene fishing regulations we already have to endure and the nonsense that our so called “Fisheries Managers” use to come up with those ridiculous figures? Not to mention the Saltwater Fishing License that we will be forced to purchase… from which we, THE PUBLIC, can say we absolutely ZERO confidence in?

I’m also the webmaster for a prominent Bait and Tackle retail and on-line store on Long Island. Feel free to visit our Fishing Blog to view some of our customers opinions on how our “elected officials” treat the recreational fishing community.

Sincerely,

Chuck Adams

This is completely rediculous. I fished every weekend off of montauk last season and with the new regs will prob go half thats insane. We definitely have to do something about this. The bag limit being so low most people are not going to pay for a full day and come home with two fish. I was satisfied with 4 but 2 is just not enough.

It’s nice to see people sharing the same opinions as myself. Hopefully we can get these bulls^*t regulations reversed somehow.

I hope all of you have taken the time like myself and other local anglers to copy the letters from one of the other posts on here to mail to politicians and make them aware of this. Something has to be done!

The recreational fisherman suffer for what the larger, commercial corporations have done to our fishery. Through these regulations, and i’m sure even stricter future regulations the fishery will only suffer even more while certain groups gain full control over all regulations as well as the legal means to enforce. party boats, charter boats and recreational fisherman should be left alone already!
