    • Tuna Talk - Hunting Giants The Pelagic Bite That Changed Everything | Special Guests - Andrew and Ethan of East End Angler
      Feb 16 2026

      This week on Bay Rats & Buoys, Captain Gaige is joined by Andrew and Ethan from East End Angler for a no-nonsense, high-energy deep dive into fishing for absolute monsters. If you’ve been watching the offshore bite light up and wondering how to get in on the action, this episode is for you.



      The offshore tuna fishing scene has exploded across our region, and Andrew and Ethan break down bluefin tuna, Swords and beyond, we get into what’s driving these fish closer to home—bait movements, water temperature shifts, structure, and how technology has changed the game for modern offshore anglers.



      We dig deep into pelagic fishing strategies, covering everything from trolling spreads and chunking tactics to jigging, live bait approaches, and how to read the signs offshore. Andrew and Ethan share what they’re seeing day in and day out—from bait concentrations and temperature breaks to bird life and subtle details that separate a slow trip from an unforgettable one. This is real-world intel straight from anglers who live and breathe the offshore grind.



      Safety offshore is always a priority, and we touch on preparation, weather windows, fuel planning, and the importance of respecting the ocean—especially when pushing farther offshore in pursuit of giants. The conversation also highlights conservation, responsible harvest, and the mindset needed to keep these fisheries strong for the next generation.



      If you’re obsessed with offshore fishing, chasing pelagic species, or just love hearing from anglers who are plugged directly into the bite, this episode delivers. The tuna are here, the action is real, and the offshore game has never been hotter.

    • Fishing League OFFICIALLY Launches Teams are Forming | NY Boat Show Recap
      Feb 3 2026

      Fishing League OFFICIALLY Launches Teams are Forming | NY Boat Show Recap


      This week’s Bay Rats & Buoys episode is a full NY Boat Show recap mixed with a major announcement that’s been building for months — the official launch of the TheFishingLeague.com website and the opening of league registration. Phase One is officially live, teams are forming, and the countdown to the 2026 season has begun.



      We had an incredible five days podcasting live from the New York Boat Show at the Jacob Javits Center, meeting anglers, captains, exhibitors, and listeners from all over the Tri-State area. The energy on the floor was unreal, and this episode is packed with shout-outs to the people who made the week so special. Huge thanks to Amanda, franchise owner of Long Island Paddle Pub, Kurt and Brandon from Pursuit Boats, James from the NYC Pirates, Chris from the Montauk Canyon Challenge, and Captain Amal from Big Apple Charters NYC, along with so many others who stopped by the booth to talk fishing, boating, and community. If you were at the show — there’s a good chance you’re mentioned in this episode.



      This video also serves as the official launch video for TheFishingLeague.com! We break down exactly how the league works, what anglers can expect in Year One, and how Phase One of the website is designed to get teams registered and locked in early. The league will cover the entire Long Island Sound, with multiple divisions built for everyday anglers, families, charter captains, and shore fishermen. Registration is now open, teams are already forming, and early sign-ups will have a serious advantage heading into opening day.



      While this is only Phase One of the site, it’s the most important step — building the teams, setting the foundation, and growing a competitive but community-driven league that’s focused on fun, fairness, and bragging rights.



      We’re also looking ahead to our next stop — this weekend at the Copiague Fire Department Marine Unit Fishing Expo, happening January 31st from 9AM–2PM at 320 Great Neck Road. Bay Rats & Buoys will be there, so come say hello, talk fishing, ask questions about the league, and get registered in person.



      Big things are happening. The league is live. The teams are forming.

      Welcome to the next chapter of Bay Rats & Buoys.
