The canal was loaded up this week. I mean the bite was hot hot hot. But if you’re reading this, you don’t need me to tell you that. Just pull up your Facebook and you’ll see a hundred posts of anglers holding up big dead stripers. I won’t talk about the canal here, because when […]

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.

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, […]

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.

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 […]

(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 […]

I’ve fished a lot this week (much to the chagrin of my fiance). This is due to a couple of reasons: The fishing has been steadily getting better. Bait is filling the bay (all types) and I’m hearing all kinds of reports of big fish all across the Southern MA coast. The canal lit up […]
