Hi Dave,

Nice to see a fellow Long Islander signing on!
I'm in the KingsPark / Smithtown area. What's your interest in Native Fish?
I've got a couple tanks set up, including a nice 55 gallon with fish primarily collected this past spring in North Carolina.
There's some interesting locations on LI, plus upstate NY is worth checking out . . .

- Jan

Well if he calls himself capt Dave and is from Long Island, my guess his interest in native fish includes striped bass, bluefish, false albacore and bonito. Am I right Dave?
A little tuna in season?

Welcome aboard. :smile2:

Arrr, ye might be right, we'll have to hear it from the Cap'n.

Meanwhile, I've been catching some HUGE porgies - up to 16", off the beach. How's the season progressing up your way?

Yes, I eat them. Porgies are great fried, or baked. I always hear "porgies are too bony" - not so. You just need to fillet them. These were great.

Ok, appologies to the mods, can't resist...
Well on my side of the sound we ain't got no stinkin porgies [confuses us with our pogies :tongue: ], we got scup, and that ain't a duck. Folla?

A fish close to my heart and my roots. My Dad used to take us to the RI breachways and we'd have a ball with scup and fluke. Throwing a seaworm into the breachway could bring you any of a couple dozen cool species. Puffers puffing, sea robins grumbling, goosefish snapping, it's like a box of chocolates :cool2: . Big sharks among the swimmers, breaching whales, bluefish driving bait onto the sand...these are my Fish Geek foundation :biggrin: And scup fillets breaded, quick fried, served after the quohogs, with a nice IPA.....mmm

Sad to say I know nothing first hand of our season. I fished too much when I was younger.

BTW Jan, those porgies get any bigger...

Yer gonna need a bigger boat. ;)

I just knew a New Englander was going to bust my chops regarding the porgy versus scup designation! Tis all in good fun . . .
