 It was a rare hat trick today something I have rarely been able to do from shore over the years.  Today I landed my first albie of the year.  In addition I landed big numbers of stripers up to keeper size along with a big blue. It wa

What’s the report? Fluke. Even more doormats are hanging tough at the reef sites now. Look for some trolling action with skipjacks dolphin albies and bonito on the inshore lumps. It’s Labor Day get out and enjoy the holiday on … Con

  Jon Pickering holds one of two albies that he  landed from shore one morning this week.  Yes   they are in but we are not seeing big numbers yet. By now many of you have probably heard that the albies arrived very early this ye

Fished yesterday with Brett and friends in the ocean. We did a little inshore trolling. We caught a bunch of small blues and a couple of albies. It was a bit sporty but we had a good time anyway.

Fished with Kevin and Zack today in the ocean. We started out trolling for stripers but we were hoping for albies once the ocean settled down a bit. The ocean did calm down and we did find the albies. We had a bunch of shots and ended up catching an

Sailfish on kingfish rods...46" red fish at Ar 315...albies on fly rods and redfish from 23-34" two at a time all afternoon...Yeah Damn good fishing!!!

Specs Albies and Grays are biting really well now. The offshore bite is still way off since the storm. Hurricane Sandy really messed up what was looking like the best King mackerel fall in several years. Good news Chesapeake Bay Striper fishing is ju

The albies arrive in New Jersey after they leave Montauk in late October and November.

 We are in one of the hottest times of the year right now for fishing.  The are blitzes of fish coming off in multiple spots along the oceanfront daily.  Find the bait and you find the fish. In the last few days I hit some of the bigg

It’s that time of year again in central and northeast Florida. The bull redfish are starting to show up. These big redfish congregate at and around the inlets to spawn usually around late summer into fall. Live bait is my go to for these upper

Blues and More Blues - I fished for a couple hours after work with my Dad and this was a strictly artificials trip (bucktails plugs poppers soft plastics). We worked the Barnegat Inlet staying tight to the rocks for Striped Bass but could only muste

Fished with Tim Tiffany and Zeph today at Montauk. It was rough and rainy. We killed them anyway. We had close to twenty albies and a bunch of big blues on the fly and on the spinning rod. No bass today. In the afternoon I had the entire Montauk Poi

More jumbo November Albies!

This is a great combo trip in early November.

End of this October and November the albies arrive in New Jersey.

Stripers were on the feed prior to the big storm. Sunday's storm wasn't a hurrincane a tropical storm or a northeaster but it has to rank as one of the biggest unnamed storms to hit the state. Besides all the tree damage and knocking out pow

to say the least we’ve been having some fun w the reds. Jacks and tarpon are soon to be on as well. When the ocean is flat we’ve also been finding the albies. You have to love the drag scream of hooking up w albies. The chase can be prett

It looks like stripers are beginning to move into the back waters and surf now while cocktail blues dominate as well. Midshore a host of bonito albies and even an errant wahoo or yellowfin tuna are moving in to streak … Continue reading →

  My son Matt was fishing in MA waters from a boat today.  It was a bonanza of albies Spanish Mackerel stripers and bluefish. This albie hit an Epoxy Jig. At the same time I was fishing in RI waters.  It was all stripers and lots of t

It was a very good year for Slot Stripers. These were our bright spot.  It's that time of year.  The season has ended and the teacher in me is about to grade the season. The catch word for the entire season has been inconsistent. I can
