Lines in the Street: the first day out: a 34-inch bass
http://linesinthestreet.blogspot.com/2009/04/first-day-out-34-inch-bass.html
Apr 24, 2009. The first day out: a 34-inch bass. Saturday marked the start of the 2009 Jamaica Bay fishing season, and we were out in heavy ranks. Jon D. drove down from Albany, while George, brother Nick and guest Michael took time away from Orthodox Easter celebrations to put in a few hours at the wall. Now the debate begins: free it or keep it? Best yet, on opening day! Last year, I think we got. Four or five keepers the whole summer, and now on the very first day out we get one. Nearby, a guy in a Ve...

Lines in the Street: permits are here; what a mess
http://linesinthestreet.blogspot.com/2009/09/permits-are-here.html
Sep 17, 2009. Permits are here; what a mess. Starting October 1st, unless the date gets pushed back, fishermen surfcasting - and bay casting, for that matter - will be required to carry fishing licenses under new regulations from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The system is wildly complicated. After multiple visits to the DEC's website. Starting them in October and asking people to pay the full year's fee for only three months is just unfair. Need to already have had some ki...

Lines in the Street: Why fish?
http://linesinthestreet.blogspot.com/2009/02/why-fish.html
Feb 18, 2009. To connect with nature, to revel in the quiet. To actually have an appreciation for putting in your time, and seldom being rewarded. To pick and pull at different tactics and see which is best. To simply pass the time. For the rush and chaos of a big strike that you can screw up at any number of points. To make those hours of drinking actually productive. To spend three or four legitimate hours down the wall from someone who has spent all night out there and fishes for sustenance.

Lines in the Street: baltimore fish kill: could it happen in Jamaica Bay?
http://linesinthestreet.blogspot.com/2009/06/baltimore-fish-kill-could-it-happen-in.html
Jun 2, 2009. Baltimore fish kill: could it happen in Jamaica Bay? Over the weekend, I was in Baltimore, Maryland, for a wedding. When I arrived down there on Saturday, several friends who had arrived early for the rehearsal dinner aboard a boat the night before told me that there were dead fish all over the harbor thanks to an algae bloom that presumably caused oxygen levels in the water to drop dramatically. The algae,. Could you imagine if that happened in New York? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Lines in the Street: Striped Bass Season Opens: Same Rules as Last Year
http://linesinthestreet.blogspot.com/2009/04/striped-bass-season-opens-same-rules-as.html
Apr 15, 2009. Striped Bass Season Opens: Same Rules as Last Year. Official confirmation is in, via phone call to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Striped bass season is open from today (April 15) to December 15, following the same size and quantity limits as the '08 season. Each angler is permitted to keep one fish, minimum 28 inches, and a second fish, minimum 40 inches, per day. My strategy this year: focus on high tides, no matter what time of day. April 15, 2009 at 4:04 PM.

Lines in the Street: fishing the cycle
http://linesinthestreet.blogspot.com/2009/05/fishing-cycle.html
May 28, 2009. Last week, to mark the Memorial Day weekend, I spent four nights up at the lake with friends, which was a rare treat thanks to the holiday weekend and two additonal vacation days that were tacked onto the beginning. Over the course of four days, seven out of the eight were captured and released. The American eel, ironically enough, was the only one of the eight to elude. Last year, eel were so common it was a sure-fire bet. Just ten minutes down the road. All seven of us took a Saturday fie...

Lines in the Street: on why i'm now catch and release
http://linesinthestreet.blogspot.com/2009/07/on-why-im-now-catch-and-release.html
Jul 10, 2009. On why i'm now catch and release. I am willing to now officially declare myself catch and release. While I haven't put up a video post in a while now, over the past few months fishing in Jamaica Bay I've compiled footage that I saw as part of a post about pollution in the Bay - to be posted soon. Garbage floating by, DEP transport ships moving "sludge." My neighbor claims one on June night all his hooks came up covered with a black, oily substance. Alarming, but a mystery. And, finally,.

Lines in the Street: five hours: no fish, but two captains save lives
http://linesinthestreet.blogspot.com/2009/05/five-hours-no-fish-but-two-captains.html
May 12, 2009. Five hours: no fish, but two captains save lives. I fished the bay beginning on Saturday evening at 8:30, an hour before high tide, and got a ride down to the wall because there would have been no way to carry the cooler, net, bait, tackle box and four poles on my own. As it turned out, it wasn't a fire at all that brought all the rescue. A boat had capsized in the bay and four people were in the water at that very moment. Apparently, their boat was slammed into the waves and began taking o...

Mixed seafood, mussels, their shells, shrimp, calamari rings, slow-cooked in a homey, comforting tomato broth. Think of it this way: in my eyes it's simply a mixture of fish, at ...
