Thursday morning I took a last minute solo trip to see what I could find. I pulled into the first spot and hooked up on my first cast. That is often times the kiss of death for the day. But not in this case. It was a steady bite for about three hours and by […]

Saturday morning brought Bob and his brother Marion over for a shot at some bass. We have an incoming tide this week so we had to fish in other areas. Marion brought the first couple of fish over the side and had the lead until Bob got started. We found fish in four out of […]

Foggy Mornings are fun.

Today Bob came down from the deep woods of Eastern Connecticut for some striper time. we headed out on a flat calm and kind of foggy morning. We found lots of working birds in several spots that weren’t holding fish. We made our first stop and found what we were looking for. A nice day […]
