Episode 44 – Bay Rats & Buoys Fishing & Boating Podcast | Offshore Tuna, Mahi, Tilefish & Local Harbor Wildlife
We’re just 8 weeks away from the one-year anniversary of the Bay Rats & Buoys podcast, and excitement is building! In this week’s episode, Captain Gaige and First Mate Kory bring you all the latest Long Island fishing and boating news, plus an epic offshore report you won’t want to miss.
Kory headed offshore again for one of his best trips of the season, landing bluefin tuna, mahi-mahi, and tilefish. The tuna bite is still hot, but keep in mind—recreational tuna regulations have recently changed, so make sure you know the NOAA fishing rules before heading out.
Closer to home, our harbor and bay are teeming with life—cownose stingrays, dolphin sightings, and even a seal reported this week! It’s the perfect time to join us on the water and experience our world-class fishery just minutes from the dock.
We also give a big shout-out to Jacob from Davy Jones Shellfish Co. and our friends at J&M Seafood—both with big news coming soon. Plus, you’ll hear the wild story about planes landing on the Long Island Sound (and taking off again) that we caught on video!
Other topics this week:
- Boat injuries & the “Captain Gaige bruise factor”
- Why cleaning boats is our version of therapy
- Studio renovations for the off-season
- Launching the new Bay Rats & Buoys Fishing Club in Season 3, 2026
Whether you’re into striped bass fishing, tuna trolling, boat maintenance, or Long Island Sound adventures, this episode is packed with stories, laughs, and fishing tips.
Subscribe, share this video with your fishing buddies, and stay tuned as we count down to our one-year anniversary!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
