Striped Bass, Bluefish, Weakfish, and Fluke combined for a Grand Slam as fishing remains red hot. Law Enforcement moved in quickly after I stepped away from my boat at the launch ramp.

Went pier fishing the other night on the North shore. Saw a group of people fishing for porgy. As we left the area we were approached by two officers just doing a routine check. Normally I would see them during the day. This time they came out late at night. I was surprised but happy to see them. During inspection we were fine, however the majority of people fishing near got a good learning lesson about following the rules. Turns out some had under sized fish and had no fishing license. Hopefully lesson learned. Thanks John for providing awesome video and text content. Tight lines everyone.

I forgot to comment on your last video, but I also grew up on Long Island and fish exactly the way you do. I reel a conventional reel with my right hand and a spinning reel with my left. It's as natural as can be for me and I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. Also, I like the new camera angle, especially when you are under way.

@CytoplasmicGoo 11 ай бұрын

I do the same, I think it's because when we first started fishing, most conventional reels are right hand retrieve. After using mainly spinning reels, I remember when I first used a conventional reel, I thought how wonky it was to retrieve with my right (as a right handed person) but now, many, many years later I cannot imagine retrieving a conventional reel from the left side.

Fresh water fisherman here, but I use a right handed baitcaster because that's the way I learned it. But there's another good reason for it. Using a left hand spinning reel and a right handed casting reel spreads the stress around. When you get into your 60's you'll appreciate it.

Let me play devils advocate here. Because I swear I see this trend in NJ. I'm convinced some of these officers go after the most legit anglers in order to have a pleasant exchange and have little in the way of pushback or paperwork. Poaching has become a real problem in coastal NJ particularly in the Bayshore region. seems as if the the wardens are nowhere to be found but when a family of 4 pulls up after doing a little fluking, they are all over the situation. I'm not trying to cast dispersions on anyone, but it just seems unusual that true busts of real lawbreakers are few and far between.

Jon that’s exactly how I’ve always used a rod. An yes grew up fishing freshwater way inland from the salty. But the point is , I’d don’t know how it’s been determined wether if it’s rod in right or left , or the reel has to be right or left ? Lol I’ve been asked if I’m trying or left because I cast over my left shoulder naturally, an I crank on the right. Casting my right hand is on the but of the rod for power. And cast like batting a ball. Brook fishing you cast way an catching brook trout

RH vs LH ~ all personal preference. Also I believe the numbers are related to when LH reels became available, which was not too long ago, so I would expect more RH sold in the market still. Personally I do bottom fishing (not jigging, but bait and wait, or drift fishing w/suspended baits) with RH conventional reels, however for lures (plugs, jigging, musky fishing, etc) I tend to use LH retrieve.

As far as switching from right hand to left hand with the reels the only time i think it makes a difference is if your getting bites within a second or two of the bait hitting the water. Ive seen plenty of people miss fish flipping and pitching while they were changing hands. In salt water it doesnt matter besides maybe mangrove fishing.

With the right/left retrieve on bait casters, you prefer right retrieve because you got used to it and developed your hook setting technique based on that style. When you use a spinning reel with the left retrieve, you hook set a different way based on that retrieve. In essence, I think if a (right handed) person from the beginning started using a left retrieve bait casting or a right retrieve spinning reel they'd get used to it, develop their own technique and would tend to prefer that retrieve side for the rest of their fishing life.

Heres what I find hard to understand. I'm right handed , I use a right hand retrieve bait caster. However , when I go to a spinning rod , I switch the handle to the right side. That way my cranking hand is always on the same side. I never could understand why right handed people on a bait caster , use right hand retrieve but when they go to a spinning rod , they reel in with the left hand. Its just odd to me. I cast with my left and right hand ambidextrously but I always reel with my right.
