This is not the most productive time of year when it comes to fishing–but I don’t need to tell you that. Typically at this time, we’re still organizing tackle and tying flies and do our best at preventative maintenance to make sure the boat doesn’t break down 20 miles offshore. Water temps are chilly and […]

I had checked this beach on six consecutive days, watching the fall bounty of peanut bunker stack up in the bubble weed and the seabirds meander along the shoreline, picking at shells and eelgrass. Three of the six days, I found fish—micro stripers gliding through the shallows chasing singular baitfish and shrimp. On the other […]

I keep thinking about perspective. In June, you could not have paid me to cast to trout in a kettle pond. But here I am, at the end of October tying a woolly bugger to a 4x tippet casting to stocked trout, getting skunked and actually somewhat enjoying the peace it brings. In early May, […]

After a very disappointing start to the sixth month, things got real hot hot hot. I mean, we were partying like it was 2015 out there. Big bass showed up all the old reliable spots gorging on huge schools of sand eels, mackerel, and herring. Since then, things have quieted down some. In the place […]

I feel like now is a good a time as any to actually carve out some time and type out some of the fishing experiences we’ve had this month.

Slot stripers, frothing albie feeds, and giant Charlie and his smaller blitzing counterparts have graced our paths in the last stages of this saltwater fishing season. These past few weeks […]

Quick little update for you stripers fiends this Friday afternoon (what day is it, really?). We’ve reached the point in the spring run where making the decision as to where and when to pursue stripers can be panic inducing. We are paralyzed by the thought of choosing a spot and choosing wrong. I’m feeling that […]

Not much changed this week for those of us keeping ever increasing tabs on the movements of our striped friends. But I’m not complaining. The status quo, in this case, is a good one to maintain. Bass 22″-26″ are still blitzing just about every tide in Buzzards Bay, along the Southside, and along the beachfronts […]
