And The Winner Is….
Posted by: | CommentsBefore I announce the winner I want to thank EVERYONE who submitted their photos for this giveaway. I asked for some great shots to help take my mind off the nasty winter we are having here on Long Island and you guys came through big-time!! Thank YOU very much, I have enjoyed seeing your pictures. I think this may have helped cure Winter as well since it hasn’t snowed in two weeks and we actually hit 53 degrees here today. BONUS!!!
And now I have happy to announce that the Winner of the 2011 Winter STINKS Giveaway is William Ragulsky. William’s winning shot came to me directly from the Concrete Ships off Virginia’s Eastern Shore area. You can read the entire story on William’s blog at Coastal Kayak Angler. Action photos were asked for and I think William’s has that pretty much covered. Click the pic for larger size.
I will reach out to William for shipping details. If there is no word after 7 days I will pick a new winner next Monday.
Congratulations to William on a BEAUTIFUL fish (Caught atop a kayak to boot) and I hope you catch a better one on your new Super Strike popper.
And to everyone who participated, once again I thank you for taking the time to send in your pictures.

The 2011 Winter STINKS Giveaway
Posted by: | CommentsAfter much thought on the subject I have come to the conclusion that winter STINKS! This comes following the cleanup of the latest foot of snow dumped on my driveway as the result of the 7th snowstorm to bury us since the day after Christmas. Now I realize that there are parts of the country where this stuff is a way of life but not here on Long Island. You can be sure that we have had some huge blizzards across the area over the years but the past does not compare with the winter of 2011 to date. Backaches and overall soreness are the order of the day this year and I am beginning to feel as though I should be attending the shareholders meetings for Tylenol corporation.
I’ve decided that I need a fix of something fishing related. With that said I am happy to announce another lure giveaway. The 2011 Winter Stinks Giveaway is offering another of my favorite top-water lures, the Super Strike Little Neck popper. This little beauty is deadly on striped bass and bluefish populations. The plug is made of high impact plastic and features through-wired hook holders to stand up to the beating these fish can put on a lure.
To take your shot at this lure post your very best fishing action photograph. Let’s see some bent rods and anglers straining against a fish screaming the drag off. Basically, let’s see you HOOKED UP!!! Bluegill or bluefish, it does not matter. A little detail on the picture would also be nice but definately not required
As with my previous giveaways, there is nothing hidden here, no strings attached or obligations. You post your HOOKED UP submissions and a I will pick a winner from them. Plain and simple, that’s all there is. The winner gets the plug and the others can take solace in the fact that they helped the Captain to temporarily forget about the nasty old winter.
This will be open for submissions until February 14th at which time a winner will be announced here on the site.
If this sounds good then let’s see ‘em!!!!
