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 it started the fish showed up along with their appetites. We finished the day with a few in the boat after way too many casts.
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 didn’t see another boat land a fish. A pretty good day after all.
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. […]

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 […]
