  We are back into slow fishing for stripers from  shore. There are some big bluefish around but you will need to make a lot of casts to catch one! This one took a bucktail jig spiced with a Fat Cow jig strip. A week ago I would have told

  How do you imitate a small one inch bay anchovy? Think small offerings that have the right  movement and profile. I was into a big blitz of stripers today that lasted from morning till evening.  The stripers were feeding on huge sch

After a few days of strong wind we finally got to make our 3/4 day striper trip. It was a real nice day on the water with good fishing and a lot of people missed it. The action was good with a mix of sizes. We were able to make long drifts. We had o

Had Peter Gravinese and the guys out today for stripers. Moved the trip to Point Pleasant with the west wind. Great guys and caught some fish throughout the day. 

Had the Kelly family out this afternoon. Took a ride and found some excellent striper fishing - all big over sized fish. Matt caught the biggest which was 48 and was previously tagged not bad for his first striper! Diamond jigs and small spoons were

Had George and Jim out for Stripers today. Spent a lot of time looking for bunker and only had 10 bunker to show for our efforts. We caught 8 fish on those ten bunker and that was that- wish we could have found more bunker but biggest went 41 inches

On the 39 had Larry DeLuise back with Joe and new to striper fishing Jason and Mark. None of the guys had ever livelined but with my Pure Luv coaching style they got good quickly. Larry led the way with half a dozen to 37 inches rest of the guy

 Surprise surprise! I landed my first bluefish of the year this evening along the oceanfront.  The fish about 6 lbs. hit a NLBN paddle tail that was intended for a striper.  This is very early for a blue along the oceanfront.  Wi

Had Alex and Ilya back after there Striper crush from last week. Figured we would give tuna casting a shot. Had a half a dozen shots at them but couldnt connect. Ended the day bagging a bunch of slots and keepers for dinner

  This is one of many stripers and blues that I landed today in the Bay from the kayak. They were  chasing down schools of peanut bunker. Last evening/night I hit the oceanfront in a place where the tide and conditions were just right.&nbs

Wow what an afternoon today! Left the dock at 12pm with Mark Freeman and we caught 22 fish and returned to dock at 2:30pm all on live bunker. The guys were relatively new to live lining but did great with the circle hooks after a small learning curve

Captain JR reports a slight improvement in the local bass action. We had a few very nice stripers that were unfortunately much too big to keep. Also a few nice blues to bend the rods. Definitely not a slammer trip but a positive sign for the rapidly

  There has been a glut of schoolies along the RI oceanfront in the last couple of weeks. Here is one of many that I landed this afternoon. All year I have been writing on this blog about the lack of schoolies. The poor Young of the Year Indexe

  Tonight was my first spring outing from the kayak and this was my first striper from the kayak.  I found a pile of schoolies.  All of them were caught on a weightless Super Zoom Flukes twitched on top.

September is prime time for Boston fishing charters 🎣 Cooler water fewer boats and hungry striped bass make this the best month to fish Boston Harbor. This past weekend we had nonstop action with rod-bending excitement. We landed five slot-sized st

The lake level is at 1070.05 (.95 feet below full pool) with water temperatures from 79-80 degrees and the main lake is clear. Water temps had reached their normal summer temps but the recent cool nights and rain has severely reduced the lake temper

  The fishing has seen an uptick in the  last week.  Kayakers and boater have had the advantage. I landed this one a few days ago from the yak. The recent very high and low tides delivered improved action for stripers here in RI. The

Had first timer Mark Kuminski out for stripers today. Tough getting bait but once we started fishing it was lights out instant bites for an hour straight and then steady picking and left them biting! Hard to beat for their first time livelining bunke

 The striper fishing has gone from red hot to ice cold in a matter of days. On Friday I hit one of the biggest blitzes of fish that I have seen in years.  At one point a school of fish in front of me was bigger than the size of a football
