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 […]

Quick little update for you stripers fiends this Friday afternoon (what day is it, really?). We’ve reached the point in the spring run where making the decision as to where and when to pursue stripers can be panic inducing.

In the spring, we generally know, within a week or two, when and where the stripers will show up. During the doldrums, we have […]

Well, it happened this week. Every season, there’s a moment you think back on and wish you did something just a little differently. A little Monday morning quarterbacking, if you will. Well, this one hurt. The blitzes this week in the Three Bays were pretty ridiculous, lasting almost two entire tides each day. The fish […]

We covered some miles this weekend. And we found life almost everywhere we looked. Both days felt very fall-ish, which is not a feeling I can really describe, except to say that the days are getting noticeable shorter, work is getting busier, and the fish (bass blues and bones) are getting hungrier.

Well, we’re in the midst of a ridiculous pogie bite all along Cape Cod Bay and up the South Shore; one of the best ones we’ve seen in a very long time. And while this bite has been going on for a few weeks now, I get the feeling the pogies may be shredded and […]
