Hello fellow fishers,

I don't know how many of you are taking advantage on the western north shore blackfish action…. If you are not, you don't know what you are missing!

I took a break from the Mecca bass action and took advantage of it and the tautog action is absolutely hot! In fact, IT'S ON FIRE!

You see, just before Turkey day, I fished with my buddy Rich from R&G Bait & Tackle (Port Washington) and his show partner Andy to shoot their second pilot show. That's right folks, there is gonna be a new fishing show in town and it's called Northeast Angling.

Anyway, I was a guess and we headed out to a tog shoot with the crew. To suffice to say, what would normally have taken Three-or- Two-day shoot…. The action was soooo hot that we had it done in just one day! The action was fast and furious on both tides (larger fish preferred Ebb) along the drops of 35-55 ft. and we did a bang up job on quality togs. Fortunately to say, we released over 70 keeper togs and it was all captured on film!

So, what are you waiting for? Take advantage of the Western North Shore action while it is still hot…and keep your eyes tuned for a new show that will dedicate to our North East Coast!

New TV show?

Did a quick search and found a web site at www.neangling.com, it looks like the right one, the picture of the month looks awfully familiar (its Al). What else do you know about the show? When will the show that you were in be on the air? I have seen Rich speak before at a seminar. Do these guys know anything?

Hello Axelfish21,

Wow.. You are computer savvy! You found the website and yes, that's me with a trophy surf bass. Wanna guess how big?

As for when will the blackfish show air? ... Dunno yet. All I know is, we had a great time and caught a mess of fish. Largest fish was approximately 8-9 lbs. in change... Nothing too big but we had plenty of action and revealed important tips to become a sharpie.

As for Rich... What can I say? He is a natural sharpie that really knows his stuff. In fact, Rich was features (several occasions) with George Poveromo on his ESPN fishing show.

Can anybody tell me the name of the show and which topics/episodes? First winner will get a special fishing prize from me!

The scariest part of it all about Rich... I think he spends more time on the water than I -or- anybody I know. Now that's really scary!

As for Andy (show partner). He is also a sharpie and fishes really hard. I also know that he has placed top honored at the biggest Bluefish competition (WICC)on several occasions and he knows the local waters like the back of his hand.

You also wrote: Do these guys know anything? Duh! Combine these two sharpies together... They really can show ya a few tricks and put a hurtin on them fishes. Trust me... I've seen them in action!

I WON!!! I WON!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I REALLY WON!!!!

What did I win? Now don't cheap out on me Al....

LONG ISLAND FLUKE - New York?s Western Long Island Sound is a fisherman?s paradise, with fluke being one of the area?s most abundant and popular game fish. Teaming up with Port Washington pro Rich Tenreiro aboard a Mako 221 Center Console, Poveromo bucktails for these flatfish in some of Tenreiro?s favorite spots. This show covers how to locate productive structure based on tides, power drift to stay on top of a spot, rigging tackle and bucktailing, invaluable information every fluke fisherman can use to his advantage. Poveromo and Tenreiro jig up numerous fluke, including one that tipped the scales at 8 pounds, three ounces!

Hey NightCaster...

You are correct but you are only half way there pal. There were "two" shows... can you name the other!

BTW: Depending what kind of fishing you do... (fly, surf, boat)... just tell me what you do and I will adjust the prize accordingly!

Good luck!

****!!!!!

A trick question huh??? I knew there would be a catch! OK... How about Bassing the western sound HA! HA! Gottcha!! And that would be surf fishing... unless of course the prize would be a boat... then it's boat fishing

 

[617905]

Our loss, everyone else's gain???

One can only wonder how long R&G Bait and Tackle will be there or how long Rich will be at R&G once he becomes a Sporting World TV celebrity.... Oh well, I guess it's for the good of the masses. We have to celebrate the success of one of our native sons.... Let me be among the first to say
GOOD LUCK RICH!!!
Just think of all those times I walked into that store bought bait and tackle from him and walked out without saying a word..(****!! I knew I should have gotten closer to Rich while he was a nobody! )

Hey Al - according to Rich, you are the only person he knew of that fished more often than him. So who's telling the truth?

I'm looking forward to the show. The last I heard, the first show was to air around Nov '03.

I'm Pumped!

Saw the web site, it looked great! I don't envy that poor Striper though. It must have been tired after having it's picture taken so many times. I hope it belongs to SAG and got scale at least. What the heck am I talking about? It's got tons of scales!
