I believe this question has been asked in the past; we are trying to keep this strictly a Grady only event. However, if you want to make the trip down to the South Shore next year there is overnight docking available for both Friday and Saturday nights. Some boats coming from longer distances...

While the wind definitely was turned up quite a bit, I and most other participants I spoke with were pleasantly surprised at how fishable the bay and even Fire Island Inlet were on Saturday. All told there were about 12 bass and 6 bluefish brought to the scales, with the winners being a 23 pound...

I would agree, personnaly I'll be happy as long as I can get the boat between the poles without incident and have a good time. :lol: I also think the bay will still be fishable. The Kistmet Inn Shootout (taking place 10/23, different from our GW shootout) is notorious for having bad weather...

Certainly looks like the fan will be blowin come Saturday... Guess that means we'll be fishin the bay rather than the beach! On the upside, I heard from a Kismet sharpie last weekend that the shad were starting to move in, hopefully it helps!

The event is happening this Saturday (10/16), come on out in you're in the area!

Yes, its up in the northeast. Specifically its run out of a town called Kismet on Fire Island, which is a barrier island on the south shore of Long Island, NY. If you search 'Kismet, Fire Island, NY' in Google Maps you'll see the exact spot.

1- The first two shootouts brought around 20 boats each. We are hoping to have the same this year. 2- Yes, the marina has fixed docks and two poles. I recommend having six dock lines with you- two stern lines, 2 springers, and two bow lines. 3- Unfortunately I'm coming from Jones Inlet so I...

Hello All, It’s been a long while since I’ve had the time to jump on the forums (it’s scary what happens once you get a ‘real job’) but I wanted to throw out a quick announcement about the third annual Grady White Striped Bass and Bluefish Shootout happening at the Kismet Inn later this month in...

Bob, I'm glad you enjoyed the day! The conditions Saturday made fishing in Fire Island inlet pretty interesting on but it didn't sure seem to put a damper on anyone's mood at the weigh in! Thanks to everyone from the boards who came out for the shootout, hopefully we'll be able to make...

Just one last reminder for anyone interested in signing up for this Saturday's shootout- there's still time! If you are want to sign up or just get some of the specifics, you can email me at cbellz@gmail.com, or call Chris at the Spellman's at Grover's sales office- 516-771-7020. See you...

everybody and every boat's going to be different- my best piece of advice is any tool you need to work on your boat should stay on your boat. it sounds obvious but think about it- how many times have you fixed something and then taken the tools off the boat and put them back in the garage...

Bob- I can't speak to the timing for your trip since I'm coming from the opposite direction but I'm sure somebody here will have the answer. Last I heard, the count was up to about 18 boats, slightly ahead of last year's pace. I got your email this morning, it will be much easier to give you...

Ideally yes, we'd like to keep it to the Grady's only (the marina is definitely a pretty cool sight with all of 'em lined up!). As for docking- Docking is available for Friday and Saturday nights for those who would like to hang around a bit. Ordinarily docking at the Kismet Inn is $125 for...

Hello All, I know that a few site members participated in this event last year and enjoyed it, so I thought I'd post it again this year for anyone else who might be interested. The basic run down is that on Saturday, October 10th, Spellman's at Grovers, Fishin' Mission, and Grady White, are...

not true- roller trailers are a problem for boston whalers, not grady's.
