The Tiki Bar at Frank and Dick's is now Open! My wife and I went for a sun set cruise and stopped by the latests renovation at the Frank and Dicks bait station. Word traveled fast that the Tiki bar was open although their grand opening will not be until 4th of July. If you have not been to the new frank and dick's you must stop by.

skimmer > Saturday June 20, 2009 was a whaler rendezvous which was to start at the Statue of Liberty and circumnavigate Manhattan Island. From there we were to travel to New Rochelle for a barbeque. There where a number of different meeting points that boat owners where to meet and from there travel to the Statue of Liberty in NY Harbor to begin are flotilla. One of the meeting places was under the Throgs Neck Bridge. Being familiar with these waters I decided to get there a little early and try bass fishing some of my favorite spots in Manhasset bay. Well my efforts where rewarded with large schools of bunker moving threw the area being pushed by some nice size stripers. The photo was 1 of 3 fish caught that morning weighing in at 32lbs.I decided to keep one and take this photo in front of the Statue to the delights of some 60 Boston Whalers owners and there crew.

skimmer > A great ending to a beautiful season in Florida. 10 Mahi on the last tripwith the big guy topping 50lbs. The fish were caught in the offshore watersof Stuart Florida, Sunday May 24, 2009. Although the fish was caught by Sr.angler Paul Krause, it all happened with the help of an excellent gaff man, Kevin Krause (holding head of fish), and the crew of Rob Mailland (blueshirt), and John Albers. To bad the tournament for the day was cancelled dueto threatening weather.
skimmer > Saturday morning June 13, took my 10 year old son Sean out to the reef for some fluke and sea bass;  Caught 2 keeper fluke, 2 keeper sea bass and a whole bunch of shorts , with some dog fish and skates in the mix ;  Sean  just loves having a bend in his rod;  On the way back in we hit the inlet with some live bait;  Drifted the same line I took with Capt. Al on thursday;  First drop nailed a nice 35 lb bass;  2nd drop got bluefished;  Sean had a friend coming over at noon so we had to beat it for the barn;  Not bad for 3  hrs fishing; Sean had a great time.

skimmer > I received an email from a client, Bob Bauer about a shark sighting in the bay.

He got the photo from his friend Dave who took the picture Sunday at Tobay Cove beach. He said there were a lot of people including DEC on the beach watching.

It is thought to be a thresher shark about 10 to 14 feet long. 

I would have to agree because of the small lobe just about at the end of the tail fin and the great distance from the tail fin to the dorsal fin. 

I would also guess that it followed bunker schools in from the ocean. Sounds like it might be time to start shark fishing however I would think chances would be better in the ocean than in Tobay Cove. I would also think twice before going swimming in any of the deep coves along the State Channel.

skimmer > Briter Innovations produces an excellent, easy to install underwater light system.

It comes in two sizes, the Bay light pictured here and the Canyon light shown below.
skimmer > I installed a pair of Canyon lights in green on my boat this year.

It was an easy installation. I simply drilled a 3/16 hole through my transom, applied 4200 sealer to the wire hole and screw holes and ran the wire to my electrical system through a single pole toggle switch. 

These lights draw very little current as they are LED but light up a 30 foot circle around the back of the boat. They are visible for over 100 feet in clean water. They will pull fish to the boat this year. The shad will love them.
