I don’t like to throw the word “historic” around. Insane? Yeah, sure. Ridiculous? All the time. But historic? Come on. Don’t be so extravagant. Get off your high horse. You haven’t been around long enough to know if something is “historic” or not. Yes, these are all good points. But, folks. I’m making the call. […]

I feel like now is a good a time as any to actually carve out some time and type out some of the fishing experiences we’ve had this month. Let me be the first (or seven-hundredth) to tell you, May was packed with fishing stuff. Good trips, great trips, insane trips. Absolutely brutal and fishless […]

This is the time of year when it begins creeping into your head like a smoke signal from some far off fire–the inevitability that all of this is going to end soon. The season seems long and sprawling and in May, the whole thing stretches out in front of your, past where you can see […]

Gimme that fall run magic! I’ve got fall run fever. There, I said it. Sometime in the next few weeks, a cool breeze will sweep through our bay, the humidity will get sucked out of the air, tiny year-of-young peanuts, silversides, and herring will appear, and the proverbial fall blitz will commence.

You’ve been hearing the same thing from every report and forum post for the past month: Big ones are right around the corner! Any day! Next tide! Here they come! Well, I’m here to tell you this. They’re still not here (not in any types of consistent numbers anyway). We have plenty of fish just […]

It’s too early in the season for fish heartbreak, but here we are, crying in the club over a missed strike on a salter and a broken off Larry. This mild winter (knock on wood) has kept my waders and gear in the car since the fall run. And I have no plans of ever […]

Our beloved stripers are in a bad spot. But this isn’t about that. Not directly, anyways. I had never met Todd, co-founder of Dupe a Fish, in person. And I’d only met Geoff, local guide, rod builder, and tyer of Brackish Flies, once. But forecasted conditions for the morning were objectively fishy, to say the […]

The 2019 season in our little Bay was an interesting one. During certain windows, it was some of the best fishing we’ve ever had for stripers 40″ and up. The ‘Three Bays”—made up of Plymouth, Kingston, Duxbury—are an absolute mecca for light tackle and fly fishing. If you’ve never fished the many channels, rips, eelgrass […]

You always need a plan. Sure, catching stripers–especially of the large variety–is almost always the primary goal. You can say “I really want to catch a big bass on the fly” or “let’s try for stripers tossing spooks around structure .” These are great plans. But last week, when Todd of Dupe a Fish, Geoff […]
