Today John brought his dad Ralph and friend Steve out for the elusive striped bass. We left the dock on the early side to find no wind or fog. Our first stop proved to be a good one. All three guys could throw a fly and it took Ralph three casts to put one in […]
[Continue reading…]That’s right only nine more weeks to go. In the meantime I took a rare solo trip Friday to try a new fly pattern for the fussy fish. It took two stops to find them and they liked what I was offering. Nice sized schoolies to about eight pounds. After the first two or three […]

I picked up Jim and his son Teagan at Watch Hill at the crack of 2:00PM and headed out to our first spot. We didn’t get real far when we came across a few bass chasing silversides. It took Jim three casts to put one in the boat. After another fish we headed out to […]
[Continue reading…]Frontier finally showed up after 10 days with no services. Still use 860-884-3792 to contact me. My landline is about to be retired. Fishing reports are about the same. Still good numbers of bass around. With the moon coming up soon the tides will be running better for us.
[Continue reading…]Friday brought old friend and former guide Johnny who brought his son Jack out for some quality time on the briny. We were delayed enroute by a large school of breaking bass. We managed one fish and discovered that they weren’t really interested in what we were offering. We left them to find more cooperative […]
[Continue reading…]Last night a neighbors tree came down and took out the pole with our service lines on it. We got our power restored but our internet service is another story. Good old Frontier Communications said they can’t get out here until next Thursday. If you need to contact me call my cell. (860) 884-3792.
[Continue reading…]Thursday Bob came out of hibernation to do a bit of fishing. We went to the usual places and found some fish in each one. He struck first with a nice schooler. After I missed three in a row I found that the fly needed a point to keep them attached. With that problem solved […]
[Continue reading…]We went out mid morning just to fish the tide. Found bass where they were yesterday so we stopped and played for a bit. They are feeding on tons of silversides. Later on we tried two more spots that had fish on top. We took a ride and stopped for a sandwich and the bass […]

We took our first serious trip this morning. We waited for the tide to start before heading out. There was no breeze and a bit of haze and fog. We didn’t make it to the planned first stop before coming across several large schools of bass. We played for a while before returning to plan […]
[Continue reading…]Tuesday morning I took a shakedown and scouting cruise. The forecast was for NW wind 5-10 so that looked promising. When I arrived at the dock it was 15-20 from the East. With that and a cloudless sky I wasn’t overly optimistic about catching. Mostly I just wanted to check the motor and see what […]
