Fishing reports, videos and more.
Continued from the post A Big Bass From Out Of Nowhere I was beside myself with surprise when that fish hit. The sudden jolt of adrenaline is certainly one of the main reasons I enjoy surfcasting for striped bass! Yet generating that bite was a long time in the making. ...
Tautogs are a popular, fun and delicious fish to catch from a boat. An anchor, rocky nook, and some green crabs are all you need. Of course that is bare-bones minimum, and there is no doubt that a top-notch sonar, chart plotter, boat and captain, will help you put tog ...
I felt slightly bad for “stealing” Andrew’s fish out from under him. However I feel he didn’t mind all that much as long as one of us fooled the fish! For its size the tautog pulled quite well and I was nearly sure the fish would be of keeper size. ...
My father and I had to move quickly if we wanted to make the tide before sunset. It was late in the day and we still had another 7 miles of beach driving, and 1 mile of beach hiking left to do before we would arrive at the spot. The ...
It had been a little while since my Dad tagged along on a surfcasting excursion. Generally he is more of a boat guy but he does thoroughly enjoy walking the beach and trails through the dunes. So as I settled in and began casting, my Dad chose to find a ...
Catching stripers is always fun, but catching stripers in "skinny" water is more fun. I would be hard pressed to find a more thrilling scenario, than seeing a nice bass in just a couple feet of water, and then casting to that bass, and watching that bass engulf the bait ...
It had been a good trip, and I had caught fish, but I could not help but feel I had missed out on a few key opportunities. The 35 inch bass that swam by me in just 2 feet of crystal clear water, was one example. I had to leave ...
Other stripers continued to pop and swirl on the surface as I reeled this first fish in towards the tidal flat on which I stood. It felt cool to be standing here, on a piece of sandbar, nearly one mile from dry land, with a fish on the line. The ...
This past month I've spent my nights hanging with my girlfriend Lauren or working on the computer, reading an enlightening book or having a staring competition with our cat Izzy. It's been riveting. It had been 6 months since I fished the beach at night, and 6 months is far ...
The bass soon realized that was something was not right. I imagine this realization is what sparked a powerful run down current, which resulted in a small amount of line being pulled from my reel. My flimsy fishing rod was bent into the shape of a parabola. I pondered the ...
It was dark and I couldn't see a darn thing, but I knew that there were striped bass somewhere in front of me. Every other minute or so, I would hear a sudden SLAP as another aggressive striper sucked down some poor little baitfish off the surface. The scene was ...
It's been several months since I have seen a bass take a lure like that, directly in front of my eyes. It sure is nice to have the fish back. This was the best bass I had hooked so far in the 2014 season. He actually came close to pulling ...
