Lucky for us, a mass of school-sized fish invaded the waters off the backside and on the Bank in the past week or so. Those who could get out in the October chop found plenty of blitzing bluefin.

Weekend Warrior: It’s quiet…too quiet
While it may not feel like it, it’s September. And this week, the fishing was…well, actually kind of slow. But that’s okay. Our Fall run is coming. We just have to stick with it. Both Bays are loaded with bait and we’ve got the new moon coming this weekend. Temps will be dropping drastically. Reports […]

Report: Funny fish and fifty-pound stripers got me feelin’ some type of way
What a wild time of year. This past week saw an influx of funny fish action (the bonito are still around in big numbers and in very unexpected locations, and there were at least two reported albie catches). This means we’re most likely less than a week away from the initial invasion of Albert.

Report: Recapping a VERY Controversial Inaugural Seven Stripes Tournament
Folks–we had a doozy of a tourney. All boats caught fish and we lost some absolute monsters. And as an added wrinkle, we confined it to Plymouth Bay. One angler was a sure winner, but the second place fish… well, let’s just say there may have been some shenanigans. But we’ll get to that in […]

Report: “Be the fish” and introducing the first annual Seven Stripes Fishing Tournament
The fishing was unbelievable this weekend for Johnny Mack’s bachelor party. We caught countless monster albies, a couple trophy barracudas (Chuckie Humpback is getting his mounted) and Johnny even caught…you guessed it, a 28-inch mackerel. King mackerel, that is. In case you don’t follow us on Instagram, we were in fact in Miami last […]

Weekend Warrior: We’re in the dog days now, folks
Is anyone else confused by this season? Fish seem to be here one tide, gone the next, much more so than any other season. The blues are completely non-existent, except for a few bitten-in-half soft plastics. The mackerel are still here, and in huge numbers, mixed in with schools of squid. Miles and miles of […]

Weekend Warrior: Turn that fan off
You never know what a few days of ridiculous wind will do to the bait and stripers. Prior to the wind, there was a bit of a slowdown in the canal, but the Monomoy Rips were holding a big biomass of fish and the pogy schools from the East End up to Marshfield were being […]

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.
