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 […]

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 […]

The bass pictured above, the one Captain Bill is struggling to hold up? Yeah, we probably shouldn’t have caught it. Maybe once or twice a season, you get a shot at a fish like this. And if you’re lucky, everything goes right and you land it. When you do get the shot, you better not […]

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 […]

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. On the honeymoon, I had received numerous texts from fishing buddies along the lines of: “sucks you’re in mexico, stripers are busting […]

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, […]
