 Labor Day weekend is here and there are sure to be a lot of fishermen out and about along the oceanfront. If you are fishing from shore the outlook is poor.  From a boat you have a much better chance at finding something although that act

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started off this morning in one of our usual Porgy spots and it was loaded with Striped Bass! We did a lot of catch and release with some monster Stripers we had over a doz

Had some tough trips over the weekend Rich and Jimmy worked their butts off but fish wouldn't cooperate. Started off with the Jim Hope crew but wound up with 2 slots and overs up to 35 inches. Next up Mark Freemen and the boys with similar resul

DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE BAIT SHOP FOR ALL THE SPRING TACKLE I RECOMMEND Shad is on the menu! What a fun time of year to fish. We have bass in all three stages of the spawn. I would say about 20% of the bass are up spawning and the rest a

Had the Tiritilli family out today- saw the bunker thick so one throw of the net and we decided to make a few striper drifts close to home. Caught a couple overs and a couple keepers then went fluking. Very good action with plenty of short life with

 I had a frustrating day of it yesterday.  For hours I watched masses of birds diving onto bait as predators attacked from below (see video below).  This was happening in multiple spots. And it was all happening out of casting range.

 A massive amount of bait hit the oceanfront in the last two days. The bait was bay anchovies of 2 to 3 inches and big time numbers of stripers were on them.  It was fall blitz-like action that I haven't seen in a long time. Thousands

 Striper fishing went from a fabulous April to a mediocre May to an incredibly poor June. I have never seen it this bad at this time of year from shore along the oceanfront and in Narragansett Bay. I still am out just about every evening and tr

  Here's a slot fish from yesterday  coming to the kayak. It was caught  in the Bay. Everybody was complaining about that persistent northeast wind in late September except us surf fishermen.  When we had the northeast wind&n

Made our last 3/4 day striper trip today. After the storm we had on Sunday and Monday we were not sure what to expect. There was a pretty good size swell and the water was dirty. Went to where we caught the bass on Saturday. Did alot of looking and

Had Matt Ronca back this year with son Max and buddies Paulie Nick and son Leo. Made bait and went on the hunt first drift had over a dozen fish. All the kids popped their cherries! Continued picking landing over 30 fish.

  This striper took a small Slug-go fished from the kayak this week. Since that last post I wrote fishing has really taken a dive along both the oceanfront and the Bay. We had the new moon this week and that always gets surf fishermen excited b

 Right on schedule I landed my first migrating striper of the year along the oceanfront today. I knew it was a new fish because of the sea lice on its body.  The fish was just shy of a slot.  It hit a 4-inch Cocahoe minnow fished off

Capt Greg had our Mike LaBella and made a long run to start the day. Wasn't great so covered some more ground and got on a good bite. Ended the day with fast action and everyone pulling on some fish. Thanks guys! 

  Here are just a couple of Frank's books. He was a prolific big striper hunter writer and lecturer. He had a profound affect on surf  fishing for striped bass that carries on to this day. It is with sadness that I report the passing o

It was the surprise of the evening. I landed this monster blue while casting for stripers. It was a loner the only fish of the evening. It fell for a bucktail jig with a pink jig strip.  

Return clients Tom and Karen were back onboard with me at Hogan reservoir and this time it was in hopes of catching stripers. The morning was cool but sunny after we left the dock I turned and started setting out … Continue reading →

Capts Greg and Kenny had Karl Listner out today. We had a very very slow start marking an insane amount of fish all day everywhere we went but little results. Put in some extra time and managed a couple of keepers for the guys to bring home. Thanks

I have been enjoying a few days off during the holiday so I can spend it with my wife and boys while they are out of school. Once they go back on Jan 3 I’ll be back on it. I’ll be shifting my focus mainly to the winter striper fishing on
