Nothing gold can stay, folks. The early parts of July saw some of the best recreational tuna fishing in years in the waters off Race Point, out to the Bank, and down the Backside. Acres of 45″ – 60″ slashed through schools of sand eels for two weeks straight. We had some serious “foamers” as […]

After a very disappointing start to the sixth month, things got real hot hot hot. I mean, we were partying like it was 2015 out there. Big bass showed up all the old reliable spots gorging on huge schools of sand eels, mackerel, and herring. Since then, things have quieted down some. In the place […]

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.
