Here we go again this year.  With fishing over except for limited holdover action it's time to grade the past season. The highlights will be the tons of schoolies and the hot albie action; the disappointments will be the lack of keeper strip

For many fishermen such as this happy angler the hightlight of the year was false albacore or albies. Most can't wait until they arrive in September! I've been running all around southern New England doing striper fishing seminars this winte

My first albie of the year came from Buzzards Bay today. Today I landed my first albie of the year in Buzzards Bay.  I also had the rare hat trick in which I landed the albie a striper and a bluefish. We went out in Buzzards Bay and Vineyard So

Fished with Darryl Bill Dave and Scott in Montauk. Striper blitzes big sea bass and albies made for a great trip. Non stop action at times. Pro Tip: When fish are following a fast retrieve but not eating try stopping suddenly. They can't put on

2 Night Tuna LTD – Viking Star Capt Jerry reports that we had 1 Swordfish 16 Albies a bunch of Mahi and 1 Mako. We saw better fishing than we have been seeing! Our next and last offshore tuna trip is on Tuesday October 17th. It is a 4 Day New M

I landed 5 schoolies today in multiple spots. There were no concentrations of fish along the oceanfront in the places I fished.  Fishing has cooled after the big waves of the past week. Huge waves from Hurricane Maria have been battering the oc

The schoolies were active in the rough  white water today. The float and bucktail jig was hot today and landed all the fish. I knew that before I even left my house today that the fishing would be good if I could find a safe spot to fish.

Don't get excited.  This was an albie from last fall. Though fishermen are already looking don't expect the big numbers of albies to appear until September. Already the hype has started.  In the last few days I have actually seen f

Fished with Kathy and Ken on Saturday in Montauk. Fishing was great and we had 15 Albies on the fly and on spin. Fishing continues to be awesome. Pro Tip: Albies are line shy at times. Try scaling down your leader to 20 or even 15 pounds.

So far not so good. The albies have not appeared in good numbers yet. The outlook is uncertain at this point. We should be seeing good numbers of albies at this time.  But we are not. I'm down the oceanfront just about every day and there a

Fished with Brian and crew in the ocean. We trolled up some king mackerel and false albacore. The king mackerel bite has been very good this season. Pro Tip: King mackerel need lots of respect in the boat. Their teeth can be dangerous. However wire

I had to pinch myself when I woke up Saturday of Memorial Day weekend to a gorgeous sunny day! I can’t recall the last time we had such nice weather to kick off our summer season. The weather isn’t the only positive news on this gorgeous

Light Tackle Jigging For Tautog The number of different tautog jigs available to anglers these days is exploding and there are multiple reasons for this. While there are anglers who “wait all year for tautog fishing” interest among

  Slot limit stripers were around in very good numbers this years.  Shore fishing and kayak fishing was very productive. This past year was another banner year for stripers here in RI.   Just like last year they were the highlight of

Some decent blues were in the mix today as this happy angler landed a beauty. It was another wild day of fishing for me along the RI oceanfront.  I found an area of the oceanfront that had rough but clean white water ideal conditions for stripe
