Two Trip Fishing Report Part 2: Big bass, first cast

Saturday was another flat calm day in the Bay. We've seemed to have a lot of these this year. The forecast called for light and variable until around 9am, when it shifted to a fairly hard east blow, so we made the call to fish the outgoing tide in the Three Bays. On board the Mal …

Two Trip Fishing Report Part 1: Battling the fleet to land the cow

If our catch ratio of big fish the past two trips were a batting average, we'd be in the Hall of Fame. Batting .500 is great for baseball--but not great for fishing. Before we delve into the reports a few observations: The amount of pogies from Green Harbor to the Canal is out of control. But with …

By all accounts, the Bay and surrounding areas gave up some very good fish this weekend and made for an exciting weigh-in at the Plymouth 400 Bass & Blue Tourney.

Striper Report: And we’re back

Ladies and gents, it's July 10th, and we're catching stripers. Upon landing at Logan at 11pm on the 3rd of July, I immediately began planning out my fishing trips for the coming week. On the honeymoon, I had received numerous texts from fishing buddies along the lines of: "sucks you're in mexico, stripers are busting …

Just Married: A fishing report

Folks--if you've been following along, you'll know that I wasn't able to get much fishing done this weekend. On Saturday, I got married to this beautiful girl. It was a perfect wedding (we didn't even mind the light mist at the outside ceremony), and the reception was a wild time. My brother, the best man, …

Report: Fishing the High Hook Striper Tournament

Saturday was an early wake up for a 4am lines-in-the-water call. Radio chatter and smack-talk began around 4:15am. But this is the fun part about fishing a tournament. The less-than-fun part is getting out front and meeting a nice 15-20kt wind and a 2-3 foot chop. And man that wind was cold.  But, we sucked it …

Report: The cows have come home

Fishing is all about expectations. As we pulled away from the Gurnet to steam across the Bay, false dawn still hanging heavy in the air, with an empty livewell, my expectations were low. My low expectations for the day, it turned out, would end up being wildly wrong. The striper season has been hit-or-miss so …

Report: Big stripers in the fog

This was one of those mornings where everything just lined up. Mid outgoing tide at dawn? Check. Light west wind? Check. A couple buddies willing to drive down to meet me at the dock at 4:30am so we could load up on mackerel before we missed the tide? Check again. The Bay was pea soup …

Weekend Warrior: Now THIS is striper fishing!

(Sorry for the Star Wars episode 1 reference) Tomorrow the calendar will change to the sixth month, which means one thing: If you have the means, get out there and fish. Because the next three weeks are arguably the best fishing weeks of the calendar year in our Bay. Each tide, more and more bait …

Quick Report: Schoolies in Plymouth, expecting keepers this weekend

Here's a Friday quickie, which you know means I caught some fish last night. I took the skiff to the boat, battling raging seas in the harbor (just kidding, although I did get splashed a few times) and headed out of the harbor at close-to high tide. The bay was a mess with chop and …
