    Welcome all to the 2019 start of season in the great NE!

    But so far rain each weekend. I like to see at least 70 degrees since its always 10 degrees cooler on the water plus the wind. Hopefully splashdown in a week or two. Last year was a cold start as I think splashdown was last weekend in May. By next week there will be hundreds of small boats...

    Destination: Thames River Norwich, CT?

    Is this a very navigable river for my 15 foot Lund with a 40HP on it. I've taken it a few times down from Haverstraw Bay on the Hudson River and around the Statue of Liberty, but of course, not under the Verazanno Bridge out to the open ocean. I was planning on launching near the Norwich, CT...

    Been wanting a "dodger" for like 5 years . . .

    Finally had one made up at the canvas shop who did my enclosure and trailerable cover 9 years ago. Enclosure and side windows still look brand new! The trick to keeping them looking new is before folding and putting in the storage bag i lay a thin towel between the clear plastic so they cant rub...

    1999 Mercury 25 hp 2 stroke popping noise on muffs?

    When we were winterizing it and letting it running on the muffs ever 30 or 40 secs there would be a small pop (like a small backfire). Is this normal? I don't think it pops in the water when underway. Thx

    My son was thrilled. He's never caught fish this big . . . ever! This one was a Walleye, check out the teeth in the next pic: Think this bass has a big appetite? Big crawfish and he's still hitting my lure. A live crawfish was trying to crawl back out of his throat. I pushed it back...

    Anyone know what this fish is?

    Caught by a friend a few days ago in Brant Lake, Brant Lake NY. I thought it might be a Lake Trout due to its size. If its a rainbow due to its colors I've never seen one that big? This guy does do a lot of slow trolling for rainbows. I also googled lakers in brant lake and there are none shown...
