It’s been a weird start to the season. But I probably don’t have to tell you that if you’re reading this. I thought for sure, I mean I would have bet anything, that Race Point and Backside would have lit up when the bass disappeared from Billingsgate. But there we were, Wednesday morning, running the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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. The less-than-fun part is getting out front and meeting a nice 15-20kt wind and a 2-3 foot chop. And man that wind was cold. But, we sucked it […]
