Fishing reports, videos and more.
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 ...
I feel most at ease when walking through a beach environment as the sun is rising. Right now my favorite time to be outside is from 4:30AM - 6:30AM. This early in the day I am usually all by myself, with the exception of the animals. The solitude, coupled with ...
Continued from the post Vineyard Sound Fishing Report I arrived at my first fishing spot an hour after beginning my hike. The tide was moving and the water was swirling into a bowl shaped sand formation, directly in front of me. The bottom here drops off precipitously, which I feel ...
After releasing the fifth schoolie bass of this the trip, I decided that was enough for me. When I was younger I would have continued fishing and catching to my heart's delight. I vividly remember one trip 15 years ago when I caught 85 schoolie stripers in just 3-4 hours ...
I was fishing in an area of current, which can be a smart move because striped bass are attracted to areas of current. In other words if you find moving water, there is a good chance of finding a few bass. In this particular situation, the bass were feeding smack ...
The water was so calm that I could see my own reflection. Even more impressive, was how perfectly the sunrise refracted off the still water. Nantucket Sound was virtually one big mirror. Yet off to my right something was making a commotion in the water. At first I saw just ...
Because the water was so still, when my lure landed, ripples extended and reverberated throughout the water. I hoped the splash caused by the lure did not spook the stripers, which were now just feet away. I started my retrieve just as another small bass splashed on the surface, and ...
I feel it’s safe to say that I have surpassed the 1,000 cast mark so far this season, and despite a couple nasty wind knots, I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of those 1,000 casts. I will be the first to admit, however, that casting is much more ...
I would like to say that the fish took off, pulling drag and screaming line from my reel. Or that he headed for the bottom, pumping and head shaking, as he pushed through the water column with his powerful tail. That kind of situation is not far off. Actually, we ...
I thought long and hard about where to fish today. I consulted all available resources, hoping to glean some tidbit of information that would lead me to that first big batch of migratory stripers. After spending 15 minutes surveying a particular estuary using Google Earth, I discovered a hidden access ...
