Well this has been an eventful few weeks, to say the least. We’re livin’ and breathin’ the fall run over here in Seven Stripes land! Slot stripers, frothing albie feeds, and giant Charlie and his smaller blitzing counterparts have graced our paths in the last stages of this saltwater fishing season. These past few weeks […]
Read moreWeekend Warrior: There will be wind
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 […]
Read moreWeek(end) Warrior: Well Al-bie!
Albie fishing, as anyone who has targeted the little torpedoes from hell for any number of seasons knows, will eventually give way to “albie casting.” This is how I felt last week in the flat calm, boat traffic-riddled Upper Buzzards Bay, as the albies casually crashed around us and completely ignored every offering we threw […]
Read moreWeekend Warrior: Everybody’s workin’ for the fall run
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. And down South […]

I come to you in better spirits on this fine Friday evening in July. It happened today. I swallowed my pride, traveled away from my usual haunts and fished a new area with Todd of Dupe a Fish and his buddy Chris. Well, folks, turns our it was a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good move. […]
Read moreWeekend Warrior: R.E.F.L.E.C.T.
Time to R.E.F.L.E.C.T, and find out what it means to me (points if you sung that in your head). Considering this weekend is right around the midpoint of the striper season, the weather is going to be crap, and I’m just about reaching that point of total frustration with striper fishing where I thought seriously […]
Read moreJune Striper Update: Casting ’til your arms fall off
Well, that was not the June we’ve grown accustomed to. Remember when Cape Cod Bay in June was pretty much as sure a thing as you’d ever get in this whole fishing thing? I do. And I’m bummed she didn’t produce much at all this month. The good news is the big bass are around, […]
Read moreWeekend Warrior: Avoid falling into herring runs
There’s a whole ocean of 20″ to 26″ inch stripers out there! But where are the larger fish? Well, let’s dig into it. Before we get into that, in very exciting 7S news, get ready to see some videos of our fishing adventures. 7S video producer and new fishing buddy Chris P and I headed […]
Read moreWeekend Warrior: Don’t think Twice
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. We are paralyzed by the thought of choosing a spot and choosing wrong. I’m feeling that […]
