This morning brought Dwight and his Dad David over to spend the day on the boat. We left the dock fairly early to fish both sides of the tide. We arrived at the first spot along with the fog. It took some work but we managed a hand full of bass and the first blue […]

Sunday brought Henry and his son Charley up the short but still dangerous drive up Rt. 95 for my first trip of the year. We left the dock with bright blue sky and high pressure sitting on top of us. Nice for a boat ride but not so good for fishing. Henry struck first with […]

Today Gail and I decided to fish the outgoing tide which started around the crack of 10:30 AM. She made two casts and landed two fish. It took me a little bit longer but I got there. We spent most of the tide in two spots and had fish the whole time. We even got […]

The reports that I have received are that there are quite a few bass in the rivers and along the coast. These guys put on a few pounds from last […]
[Continue reading…]Usually about this time of year I write about my recent salmon fishing trip. However for the first time in 15 years we were cancelled because the border is closed. We still can’t do charters but I think that will change by the 1st of June. I’m going through my fly boxes to see what […]
[Continue reading…]We made it through the winter in pretty good shape so far. The docks are being put in and we should get the boat in pretty soon. That’s the good news. From what I understand with the virus issues the Marina will be open and we can fish. The bad news is that we can’t […]

All good things must come to an end . It was time to call it a season. Thanks to all my old anglers and to my new friends. I hope to share some time in the boat next year. The spring run never got started the way it should have. When the squid finally arrived […]
