We’ve been busy for the past two weeks having fun with the elusive bonito. Some days we had to work pretty hard and other days it was pretty easy. Well, we went out this morning and all that changed.For the 27 th year in a row Gail put the first Albie in the boat for this year. They were eating flies pretty well but when the wind and boats showed up we switched over to spin rods. Those fish sure do like an albi snax.
I f you know me this photo needs no explanation. We headed out this morning at a fairly reasonable hour. Found some fish pretty quickly and got rid of the skunk. There were good schools of these guys spread out over a ten mile area. We had to run and gun a bit but there weren’t any boats around to aggravate so it worked out for us. We ended the day in double figures so there were no complaints about that.
We are still alive and fishing although we were laid up with a sick motor. A problem that is intermittent is a royal pain to figure out. Luckily for us Gary kept at it and fixed the problem. We put the boat in last night and took a shakedown cruise today. I brought a couple […]

Julian brought his parents and good buddy Wes all the way from the west coast today. We started off with a bunch of sand sharks for everyone. They were followed by a half dozen porgys and a few fluke and one lonesome sea bass. We tried but could not find the elusive sea robin. The […]

Paul came across the RI border to find some stripers that were willing to play. We left near the end of the flood tide and stopped at almost every place that I’ve caught a bass and with the exception of one half hearted strike we pretty much struck out. Luckily the tide changed and when […]

Rick and his brother Zac made the short but dangerous crossing of the Rhode Island border to go in search of the elusive striped bass. We did a lot of moving and picked up a handful of schoolies bass and one nice blackfish on a fly. With all of the Sunday traffic out there we […]

Wednesday morning brought Dr. Jeff up the always dangerous Rt.95. We left the dock bright and early to catch the end of the ebb tide. It took Jeff two casts to put the first fish in the boat. It was a good bite till the tide died out then we went exploring. While out and […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
