I am downrangedude- a bucolic guy from Texas who enjoys wilderness and everything awesome out there. Hunting, fishing, wakeboarding, camping & shooting are my things. I have some questions and some answers- hope the forum will prove to be my happy haven.

Folks: This is being posted, not as a rant but just so none of you is ripped off, by either of these organizations. I became a Life Member of North American Hunting Club (NAHC), in February, 1992, afer being an annual member, for a few years. Recently, I noticed that I hadn't seen...

Are there any fly fishing areas on LI? Ideally closer to Nassau. Can you fly fish in the marshes? I am considering making this my summer hobby. I have previously been an unsuccessful surf caster.

The wife and I are planning a trip to Cabo in August or October. Either of those months due to a hot Blue Marlin bite those months and works with our schedules. I've been Marlin fishing(exclusively) twice and skunked both times, both times in Hawaii. It's one of the few fish I haven't landed and...

Anyone ever fish by the Coast Guard Station? Can you fish there or just the other side?

Just a heads up the annual Ward Melville Fishing Show is this Sunday March 6th. 8:30-3:30. Good place to buy lead sinkers, teasers, etc. Doc Muller, Bruce Froh, and John Skinner will be speaking, they are not to be missed. Proud WMHS alum! Go Pats...

OK, so the temperature went up and I'm thinking about fishing. So, I don't have a boat and I was wondering what piers around Suffolk County produce the best fluke/flounder fishing. Do I need to go out in a boat or can I catch fish on a pier, like at Captree or Jones Beach or wherever? South...

First off I don't do this to make money or as a business this is just because I love to fish. This is not to advertise anything other then something LIF members may enjoy. I've been running many different trips From the keys to Maine for 30 years with a great network of guys. This trip is very...

Figure taking him fishing for snapper is a good first time. Where is best place you guys recommened? Wife will probably tag along with the newborn in a stroller to jog around while we fish. Also any good fishing/tackle stores I can hit for kids gear?

I've recently got it in my head that I'd like to do some offshore fishing later this summer or fall. The extent of my fishing experience is casting from shore or a pier a couple of times a year, and i'll admit... not very effectively. How much skill, and more importantly, how much $$ does it...

Got an email from them this morning: SHINNECOCK/OCEAN/BAY The fluke bite has been best on the outgoing tides up in western Shinnecock, bottom rigs and bucktails tipped with squid/spearing and gulp doing the job. Ratio is about 10 to one shorts to keepers. Ocean fluke bite still fairly quiet...

I had been thinking of selling all of my stuff. Probably have 10 plus poles, 15 plus reels, casting and bay, all used but functional. But today I thought maybe donating it to some worthy organization, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts or to an underprivileged kids group. Anyone have any ideas or leads for...
