The New York Fishing Community and the Celtic Quest

New York Fishing Podcast

Ever wondered about the similarities between Thanksgiving and fishing? Thanksgiving is a time of abundance and gratitude, and in our latest podcast episode, we find these same sentiments echo in the world of fishing. Joined by our guest, Desi O'Sullivan from Celtic Quest, we take you on a journey through the thrill of fishing, the love for the ocean, and the importance of preserving its resources.
The world of fishing isn't always smooth sailing. We address the heartbreaking decline of the blackfish population, a concern deeply felt by us, as experienced blackfish fishermen. Through a candid discussion, we seek solutions to restore the fishery's former glory and highlight the contrast to the flourishing seabass fishery. We also delve into the evolution of Long Island Sound's fishery and the importance of accurate fisheries data for sustainable practices.
Taking a trip down memory lane, Captain George Bachert shares a special memory of a remarkable charter trip. Technology and the internet have transformed the fishing experience, and we navigate through these changes, reminiscing about the early days. We also recount the impact of the Norriscom website on the angling community, underlining the unity brought about by this shared passion. It's not just about the catch; it's the magic of fishing and the bonds forged which truly make these journeys memorable. Join us, as we sail through these waves of stories and experiences, each one unique, each one unforgettable.
