I know some of you in the northern parts are sucking wind but on Long Island ,NY, this was one of the best weeks of the year. Even boys in NJ got onto some crazy action last few days. I’ve seen peanut bunker, mullet, jacks, spearing, adult bunker, snappers, kingfish, sand eels and baby weakfish, all being either chas Continue reading →

Last year , somewhere around this time I gave my mojo Lordship A40 to a customer I was guiding. He preceded to snap it off on a first cast. I still cringe when I remember watching that plug sail into the drink. I do have a picture of it, small consolation but nonetheless, a memento.

I miss that plug…

…

….

I didn’t spend much time crying over it though. I took another one out of the package and found that mojo must have rubbed on this one too because it caught even better this year. And still is one of the first plugs out of my nag at night when conditions are right.

…

here is a new mojo plug…. 

I love plugs with “character”, chewed up, scraped, with gashes in the wood, eyes missing, wires bent and swivels busted.

You got a picture of a plug with  character?

Send it to me at zhromin@optonline.net

 I don’t care if its laying on your work bench, in fishes mouth or with hooks embedded in your buttocks. If enough of you send pictures of your wounded soldiers, maybe we can do a spread in the future issue of the magazine, give them their due for all the hard work.

How cool would that be….

Personally, I always felt that this advice rings hollow with most surfcasters including yours truly, After all, take a moment and watch a surfcaster next to you when you are on the beach. I would bet that half way through the cast he will start to crank the lure back to make another cast.

Few nights ago I am fishing the tip of inlet jetty with a  buddy. Other than one rigged eel chopped in half I don’t have anything to show for other than a pissed off wife at home.. Three guys walk onto the jetty and start casting 20 yards away from sand. “Newbies” I thought,. Fishing skinny water is ok, but a foot of water?

After about ½ an hour I decide to hit another spot. I say goodbye to my buddy and walk towards the sand. Just as I am passing the fellows Continue reading →

You remember what happened the other night, with belt at home and all that?

Well, the night after that  I had to give that place another shot but instead of plugs I only carried a bag of rigged eels. This is the only way for me to stay true to rigged eels, otherwise I have tendency to think about switching to lures

Bluefish?

Well, if they chop up my rigged eels so be it. I really don’t want to feed them plugs either.

Unfortunately I did not look at the forecast and downpour  greeted me as soon as I stepped into the water. !#$%&…..At least the mosquitoes Continue reading →

Why do we do this?

Blog, magazine, giveaways, reviews, weekly “fishing seminars” at Hooters (what you didn’t know about those)?

Many of you have asked that question…. by know I got a feeling that you like what we do and that alone is gratifying. But why we try so hard to do video and pictures while others are fishing? Why do we scour the globe for interesting stories about the sport we love? Continue reading →

 The other  night, I  thought I had perfect conditions…and I did.

What I didn’t expect (again) was for my incompetence to rear its ugly head (again).I arrived at the inlet jetty only to find out that I left my surf belt hanging in the garage. On it were new pliers I am testing, Boga grip, hook remover and of course, my camera. Oh, what the heck, I said to myself, I am not going back home now. I grabbed a pair of Manley pliers I had in my truck, stuck them in my waders, and got onto the jetty. For you that been asking me about what exactly my next book will be about, you are just about to get a preview. Working title “If a incompetent googan like me can catch fish, so can you”…I should have no lack of stories to write….

I got to tell you, being without a belt felt like standing on the jetty in my underwear, Continue reading →

We like new stuff but we particularly like new stuff that comes out out of the shop of one of our supporters

check this out, these are new tins from Salty’s. No , not plated lead but pure old-fashioned tin that can be polished in the sand for as long as you own it. For those of you who like to use the tins at a very slow retrieve but were frustrated with your tins bumping the bottom, tin sinks at slower rate then plated lead lures.

Oh crap, why am I writing all this stuff?
