Jason Colby By next week or the week after, I expect to be fishing in the open ocean. I am noticing a trend that the flounder are starting to make their way towards the ocean, as water temperatures inside Boston Harbor continue to warm. Last year we caught plenty of limits while fishing the open ocean, yet …
Captain Jason Colby So far the flounder bite this season is the best it has been in a long time. Despite some gusty winds, my crews and I have been filling our limits and locating flounder in new areas. The flounder are spreading out a bit, and I believe a new body of fish has moved …

I always like to take the day off from work each year during the 2nd week of May to go fishing on my birthday. Call it a present and a little psychological breather I like to give myself each spring. This day in May often turns out to be one of the nicest weather days …
Cape Cod may be known for big striped bass and bluefin tuna, however fluke are not far behind. Many anglers regularly choose to fish for fluke because fluke fishing is relaxing, fluke taste wonderful and fluke are a blast to catch. I’m no fluke fishing expert (yet!) but I do know of a few popular …
