Fishing reports, videos and more.
This past weekend I was able to venture out in the kayak in the early AM and again in the evening. During both trips I was lucky to find striped bass in very shallow water. Some of these fish were quite large too. The biggest of the bunch was a 25-30 pounder which was hooked in …

I had a terrific time during my first ever Hobie kayak fishing experience earlier this month. I caught a big bluefish and small striped bass during that inaugural trip.
