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 old friends. I picked up quite a bit of tying materials and a few new ideas for some bass and albie flies. Gail is having back surgery soon so we both will be housebound for a while. That will give me time to try some new stuff.
Happy New Year

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 of bait with no fish chasing them. To recap the season. May and June were good for stripers. No real big ones but the ones that we caught were decent. July and August brought the blues in. If you rigged for them it was a lot of fun. The bonito didn’t show at all and we did go looking. Sept and October were good for albies. We did pretty well on this side and also had some good trips to Montauk. We hit the jackpot on Columbus Day with all the big bass and albies that you could want. Since then the bass have been replaced by smaller fish and the albies are packing their bags. Thanks to everyone that fished with us this year. It was a lot of fun. We are looking forward to a little rest and a new season. Check in every once in a while. I’ll put some stuff up when I get the chance. Probably fly pics. and fish pics. If you have any ideas let me know. Have a great winter.

Sunday brought Dr. Jeff and Ron out for their annual trip. Based on what I found the day before we decided to go in a different direction just to find fish. The first stop brought small blues that were spread out. I had a very reliable report from the day before so we made a [...]

This past Saturday Gail and I actually left the dock before sunrise. The weatherman said light winds so we made the long run to the south. We started on the south side and we were the only boat there. For good reason, the water looked like mud. We saw some bait on the surface but [...]

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 [...]

Today Gary brought GM with him to do a little fishing. We left the dock early and made a long run. We all agreed that we would stay on the outsides of the fleet because everyone and all their relatives would be out today. There were about 200 boats but who’s counting. We pulled in [...]
