I put the boat in yesterday at 10:30AM and was fishing by 11:00. I wanted to check out an inshore spot so I was using the old fish finder rig. Usually known as a spining rod with a white bucktail. In the first six casts I had one 10lb. bass and a 16 lb. one The tide was dying and the wind was changing so it was difficult to keep drifting over the same spot. The fish were bunched in a fairly small area away from any reference points. In the next hour of so I picked up four more fish from six to ten lbs. A couple on an eel fly. I’ll try again later this week.
Its time to get serious.

I just returned from a five day visit with Mel and family in New Brunswick. The weather was warm and so was the fishing. Mark went up with me again and Gail is still recovering from spine surgery. She is doing great and should be in the boat by June. We caught 22 Atlantic Salmon, 62 Grilse and a bunch of Brook Trout to about three lbs. This year we fished two days in tee shirts and last year we had two white out days when we couldn’t see the river banks because of the snow. The photo is my Guide, Robert with a 40 inch plus Salmon that weighed about 20lbs. Now the vacation is over and its time to get the boat uncovered and in the water. The reports are that some Stripers are already starting to show.

The calender has changed and its time to start thinking about what’s important. We started off this season with a trip to the Marlboro Fly Fishing Show. There weren’t a lot of people there. It might have had something to do with the Patriots and a playoff game. We had lots of time to visit with [...]

We pulled the boat yesterday. Its just too windy on most days to even try to get out. There are blues at Gardner’s Island and small bass at Montauk. Those are both long runs for a chance at fish. I had friends fish at Watch Hill this week. All morning for a small blue. Lots [...]

Dr. Jeff brought his son Andre and his buddy Robbie out for a late afternoon trip Tuesday. Both are at the ripe old age of ten. We started out where I had seen some bluefish earlier in the day. The boys quickly kicked the skunk out of the boat. The fish soon disappeared and we [...]
