The Pats won in a fashion that most likely had Bill Belichick VERY HAPPY well past the four-hour threshold. There’s your analysis. Last night scrolling through Twitter, adrenaline still pumping through my brain, someone tweeted a picture of a truck with a Sox logo on it. “Truck Day,” it said. What a stupid thing, I […]

She must have taken the deceiver as it dropped unattended through the water column–some 30 pounds of Cape Cod spring-run striper. A big bass, the kind I was after, had engulfed all three trebles of Capt. Bill’s plug. ‘I can’t see the hook points anymore’, he tells me, pulling her up onto the gunnels. ‘I […]

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.

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.
