Hi.
i'm in brentwood. harryk
Welcome from the SoCal Inland Empire! Being on the other coast, looking forward to hearing what a charter Captain on Long Island has to deal with/think about. Welcome! - john
Hi Cap, I had a charter boat at Montauk years ago. Still fish out there recreationally. This is a great site. The members are very helpful!
Welcome from S Jersey! How about the new striper regs? 28-31 inches only!

Hello CaptRich
I think that you have made a few rods for me in the past. Maybe even helped when another rod builder didn't do the proper build years ago. A friend of ours just had a few Newells serviced by me. Still working in the basement???

Yeah, Welcome Captain. I am very much interested in the charter business. I've taken too many trips without understanding all the ins and outs of the business, maybe leading to bad judgement/wrong conclusions...?

thanks for reaching out. I run a 2001 pursuit and fish for everything in the water. From porgies to tuna.

Hey Harry. Thanks for responding. How did you connect the T into the drill. Just a piece of dowel rod as well?
Hi Capt.
Your not far from the other Capt Richie that builds rods. He is in Merick off Sunrise Hywy. I have a few of his rods, he does nice work. I used to work deck in Freeport in the 80's till '90. Last boat in Freeport was the Capt. Doug. Went to SHB. in '15 & worked the Galley till '18 fished & Cooked. I don't fish anymore legs won't do it. I'm in Howard Beach N.Y.I just fix a few reels when they are brought to me or shipped to me.
Mike
Welcome aboard!
Best, Fred

That awesome Mike, sorry to hear you can't fish anymore. If you ever want to get out just to get on the water, in the back bays, back to your happy place lol, let me know
Capt Richie
Thanks for the offer. I will survive on my memeries for a while. I do go back awhile in memories [Viking VII, 3 Capt Lou's, 2-Capt Gary's, Starstream & Capt Doug]. I was loaned out to every one. If you need something let me know I do like Newell reels but started with Penn reels in the 50's.

I've moved on from Newell reels. They were amazing and all I used for quite some time. Now I use okuma makaira reels for all of my big game fishing.
Hi Capt Richie
I know all the offshore guys are into that fancy stuff but I was always an inshore guy. When Jay Porter started making the off shore trips to the Tower that was as far as I went. So I guess I will stay with the Newells. I haven't been on a boat to fish in more than 5 yrs, I kind of gave up on the sport.I just gave a friend ALL MY GULP. Maybe over $200 worth. Sinkers are next & then the Lead not melted yet.

Want to sell the lead? I'd definitely be interested if you do.
I have 100 lbs of reclamed lead in ingots 1$ per lb or maybe 200 lbs $1.50 per lb. of new lead from a plumbing supply. I have flat diamond sinkers 25lbs of 6oz -- 50lbs of 8oz -- 25lbs of 10oz -- 25lbs of 12oz-- 25lbs of 16oz -- 23lbs of 24oz
Let me know everything is in Queens
all pre made sinkers are $40/25 lbs
