I practiced on Thursday and caught this one on Friday. It was 27#s on the Boga but not quite as big as Gail’s the day before. For a weekday we had people stemming, trolling, drifting and running around. We had a pretty good morning with fly rods. We even caught a couple of fish in different areas than the normal ones.
Gail and I left the dock at the crack of 0830 to catch the right tide. We had about 50 yards of visibility at the start. It took us about two casts for the first hook up and then it was pretty steady for the next few hours. If any of you are thinking about a trip, it won’t get much better than this.
Today brought Gary up the long but ever dangerous drive up Rt.95 from SW Connecticut. We left early and found the fish waiting. They were pretty scattered today so we had to work a bit harder. We had a pretty steady bite until lunch had come and gone. Another fun day with a good friend. […]

Travis and Reagan made the long trek east for an evening on the water. We left the dock and stopped at a few spots that are usually productive on an incoming tide but not yesterday. We continued on to head for the area that I had some luck on Friday. We were early for the […]

Yesterday I forced myself to get up early to catch the right tide. The fish were waiting for me and they were hungry. I managed a handful between 10 and 18 lbs. and that was enough for me. It was a bit on the breezy side and the tide was ripping. Good times. I have […]
[Continue reading…]The flys are all organized with new ones added. Bucktails are tied and lures are all set. All we have left to do is to get the boat ready and put it in the briney. I replaced two spinning reels with new Shimano Stradic 4000’s. I think that my spin anglers will be pretty happy […]
[Continue reading…]We are getting near the middle of February and we’ve been busy. All of our spinning gear is good to go. A bunch of new bucktails are in the box and new hooks rigged up for the Albie Snax. I sorted all the flies and am in the process of filling the gaps in the […]
[Continue reading…]Gail and I made an early trip out this past Sunday morning. We beat the sun and wind for a change. There were very few bass around but we did find a bunch of hickory shad and a few good sized bonito. With this weeks weather forecast we decided to call it a year. The […]
[Continue reading…]Today brought Dave and his two sons out for a taste of fall fishing. We beat the sun and found some fish right away but decided to look for some larger ones. Our second stop brought bass and a good sized bluefish. We stayed and played for a bit and then made a move that […]

This morning the wind finally took a break so we could go for a boat ride. There were scattered fish in most places with a fleet of boats on them. We decided to look around a bit and came upon some huge splashes. I was thinking big albies or maybe some school bluefin. Wrong on […]
