This morning Dr. Jeff took the short but treacherous drive up Rte. 95. We left the dock at dawn and for the rest of the morning he caught fish. Today it was an all bass day with far more hits than misses. We fished from two to twenty feet of water with mostly flies until […]

The bonito are still around and at times in good numbers. The albies are hit and miss. Two trips to Montauk were disappointing. Gail and […]
