That’s a wrap!!


We called it a season on Tuesday morning. With some help from the guys we pulled the boat out and now it’s parked safely in our driveways. Gail had her surgery the week before and came down to supervise. She had three vertebrae fused in her neck and is well on the road to recovery. Now we just need to keep her slowed down for the next couple months. Thanks to our old friends and to our new ones it was a fun year. The bass came in at the right time and were good sized. Bluefish made a surprise appearance and were also good sized. A few baby Bonito showed but didn’t stick around. The Albies arrived in September but even though we had a few good days they were not consistent as they should have been. We hope that you all have a safe winter and we are looking to do it again next year.

It’s a wrap!

Gary made the long drive out east for our final trip of this season. We left early and found bass along the beach along with a couple dozen of our closest friends. Gary picked up a few fish pretty quickly before the sun got too high. When they quit we went exploring. We found some scattered albies that were super picky. Had one eat and after a run the hook pulled out. Most of our friends followed us with predictable results. We got tired of that and snuck off to find some fish that had the bait corralled. I set up for a drift and realized that all of a sudden we were surrounded by our fore mentioned friends. We moved off a bit and when the fish popped up behind us Gary put the fly right on them. This time the hook stayed stuck and we put one in the boat. Lots and lots of casts today but fun anyway.

A two fer

Today ol’ Bob left the deep woods for a little fall fishing. We left the dock with the sun just peeking out and found the bass piled up eating bay anchovies. Bob dropped a fly in front of them and it was inhaled by his personal best striper that was in the neighborhood of 20 […]

The fat lady is warming up!

Back at it

Long time friend Gary was back again after the elusive Albie. The fish that were here last week left on Sundays blow for parts unknown. The past two days proved fishless for all involved. I hemmed and hawed about todays trip and finally decided to take a look around. Right off the bat Gary picked […]

Striper Thumb

Long time friend and angler Gary made the long dangerous trip up art. 95 in the fog to throw some flies today. We left the dock with 100 feet of visibility which is always a fun ride. We found our desired piece of land and started a slow crawl in search of some hungry bass. […]

A bit of a challenge

For the past two days I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with old friends from upstate NY. Charlie and Sarah came back for an annual October fest. Finally we had some decent weather for these guys. We started out early Tuesday morning and found some bass in an eating mode. Charlie caught his personal best […]

So easy even an old guy can do it

I had a late cancellation today so Gail and I got out just as the sun was rising. The fish had moved a bit from where they had been but not to far. We got a call and came across several large schools of hungry bass. We picked them off with flies and Albie Snax. […]

Funday Sunday

This morning Bob and Dennis came out for a weekend adventure. Right after we left the dock we stopped and put a few bass in the boat to remove any skunk possibility. Headed out to the promised land to find bigger bass crushing baitfish. We picked up a 15 and 18 lb fish right away. […]
