Jim made the trip back from Denver with his guys. They did pretty well with bass last year so I was hoping for a repeat. We left early but found still slack tide at where I wanted to stop. Plan B was to check out some moving water. We had just pulled up when we […]

Julius brought his mom and dad all the way from California for their first trip on the east coast briney. The plan was for dad to get a bass on a fly and then get some bottom fish for the gang. Well, the bass were hiding so we went to plan B. Julius caught the […]
