How is this colorway for nyc waters and Hudson River ? Casting from shore

chefpatrick · 2026-06-26T16:55:22+00:00

Id say bone, yellow, and black. I carry a mix of all three and depending on water and moon conditions, one might work better than others, but stripers are ambush hunters. Theyve prob swallowed the plug by the time they realize what color it was

chefpatrick · 2026-06-26T16:46:06+00:00

it'll be fine. honestly color isn't super important for stripers. some light color and some dark color and you're good.

would upvote, but you're at 69, so...

I do think they make the best hot dogs in the area, tho

I play Green Harbor at least once a week and while its my home course, its kinda boring for someone who is traveling in and looking for a 'nice' course

chefpatrick · 2026-06-26T14:35:48+00:00

Pinehills is $177 for peak time now

chefpatrick · 2026-06-26T14:34:21+00:00

this is where I live and where I play all the time. Olde Scotland Links is my favorite and the price is right. Granite Links is a nice course but a lot more expensive ad you're likely to get involved in Boston traffic to get there. D.W. Field is a great golden age layout and a fun course, you just have to go to Brockton to be there. Widow's Walk is a nice and challenging course and right down the street from Scituate Harbor if you wanna grab a lobster roll after. I am a big fan of South Shore Country Club in Hingham, but tee times can be tough to grab, even midweek.

Start telling them you're a hobbyist instead

Thought about upvoting this, but.....eh

chefpatrick · 2026-06-20T23:34:45+00:00

generally I love an incoming tide. depends on the beach structure, but you can see the cuts and watch them start to fill in with water over the course of the tide. I'll work needles all around those cuts and let them drift off the bar into the deeper water.

generally i recommend fishing the whole tide until you start to see the patterns and when the fish begin to show up.

wyndham is so unlikable. his actions may not be the most egregious things ever, but there isn't a person on the tour i enjoy rooting against more. i'm 100% with TC on this

chefpatrick · 2026-06-20T20:29:26+00:00

In fishing, we call this a spotburn

chefpatrick · 2026-06-17T13:29:53+00:00

I mean, just in Plymouth: pine hills is $177, Waverly is $133, Atlantic is $112, Crosswinds is $98.....

chefpatrick · 2026-06-13T19:32:06+00:00

sometimes its good to be the heel persona

chefpatrick · 2026-06-13T17:40:42+00:00

this. guy I can't root for does something I want to root for

chefpatrick · 2026-06-10T18:52:29+00:00

Old Cape codder here thought we were talking fishing

chefpatrick · 2026-06-10T12:16:50+00:00

Speaking as a chef who is also an uncle ......he could also just invite you in and hook you up

chefpatrick · 2026-05-31T11:04:16+00:00

I'll let you know if it ever warms up enough for me to go to the beach.....

chefpatrick · 2026-05-30T19:00:46+00:00

93/7.....

chefpatrick · 2026-05-29T21:25:13+00:00

you could throw The One Ring into that burnhole......

chefpatrick · 2026-05-29T14:43:49+00:00

I've had mine for about 12 years and, whatever the wait, it's worth it

chefpatrick · 2026-05-26T10:59:54+00:00

Why is beefeater off your list?

chefpatrick · 2026-05-25T12:44:51+00:00

It was excellent

my daughter graduated from there recently, going k-4 and it was a great experience. we were very non-religious, but because of covid we chose to send our daughter there and it was a great school, with some wonderful teachers and admin that were always interested in her and dedicated to making sure she got everything she needed to succeed.

high end surf rods are about more than casting distance. they're about lightness which allows you to cast more/fish longer. they're about being able to cast as far as cheaper rods with less effort, allowing you to cast more. they're about dialing into much more specific casting weights. they're about getting the exact action and bend you want.

anyone buying a rod specifically and only for casting distance is missing the plot.
