Mackerel, stripers. Use a sabiki rig to catch the macks. Use the macks to catch the stripers. Small macks use whole. Large macks cut up for chunk bait. Save some macks for the table. Very good, very good for you, very underrated.
Hi. Never heard of snake bait. What kind, how did you prep it for the hook? Thanks.
I am quite prone to seasickness myself, and found 1 product that has given me the best results. They are elastic wristbands that have large plastic buttons that press against the radial nerve, which is a pressure point. Put the bands on at bedtime the night before your trip because it takes some time for the effect to take. What happens is that the prolonged pressure on the radial nerve causes the inner ear nerves, the source of seasickness, to go numb. Don’t ask me how or why, I just know that it works. Keep the bands on until you are feet dry. Get the bands from drug stores or travel stores. I got mine from a AAA store for something less than $10.00. Well worth it.
I have been getting the same runaround in southern Maine for the last 20 years. So now I just plain go fishing for them as I did as a teenager. If I get any, great! If not, just another fishing trip. So far, nothing to report.
I remember an outing as a kid, me and Dad fishing from our canoe on a pretty lake. We were casting and retrieving tandem spinners (fore and aft) with worms or bits of nightcrawler, and we slayed the yellow perch. Plan on revisiting that this season.
Lead flashing used in roofing could be a good source. Find it at building supply stores, maybe some hardware stores.
My wife has a rigid SUP, and for the past number of years I have been boatless. I have used it for fishing a number of times. My M.O. has been to use it sitting down with stadium seat cushions to pad my tush, and using her paddle like a kayak paddle. Holding it asymetrically, the loom and T-handle surface area is close enough to the blade as to provide adequate propulsion. I used it on local lakes with spinning rod and reel, and troll. I keep the rod on a leash so it would not get lost if I should tip, nor get pulled off by a decent strike. I have caught a few fish in doing this, and it’s always great being out on the water. It can be done. Determination, desire, and thinking things through allowed me to pull it off.
WOW! I never knew that about her. What an amazing woman.
Looks AOK. Mind sharing the recipe for the home made noodles? They must be amazing.

My guess, stine sinker used for angling or cast net.
Having had 2 grandparents that were born in Italy, I grew up eating polenta, i.e. grits Italian style. So for me transitioning to grits was natural. Just have plenty of butter on hand, please. Mom served polenta with tomato sauce on top and freshly grated cheese (Parmesan, Romano, or Asiago). My Dad had a book describing the day to day life of the Lene Lenapi Indians. A typical breakfast would be boiled hominy with maple sugar and bear grease. I approximate that with polenta, real maple syrup, and, of course, butter. Fantastic! Give it a try.
