The Pacific coast of Central America is an outdoorsmen’s haven, plain and simple. As far as fishing, the inshore and offshore opportunities are nothing short of spectacular. I’ve had the pleasure of exploring the southwestern coast of Costa Rica on two separate trips over the past four years, and it’s a place I will continue visiting …

February 26, 2016

Ryan Collins My waders had just sprung a leak, and water began to rush in. I thought about turning back, but I had come too far to go home now. ​ The temperature of the water was relatively mild, so I figured I would have at least an hour before the toes on my right foot went numb.  …

Danny Guadagnoli My first trip to Los Cabos came shortly after the first time I saw a picture of a Roosterfish in The World Atlas of Saltwater Fishing. With a little convincing of my mom (my dad was on board the moment I was), we were in Cabo San Lucas, the southernmost tip of Baja, strapped …

Surfcasting Los Cabos, Mexico
February 15, 2016

Danny Guadagnoli Every winter, as I know most surfcasters experience, I find myself desperately trying to replace the void created with the lack of striped bass in my life. There came a point as a youngster when I could no longer tolerate this feeling and had to alleviate it the only way I knew how.

Ryan Collins I had been sitting at my computer all day and all night long, when suddenly an emotion swept over me.  At 11:30PM I decided to leave Lauren and our cat Izzy behind, and drive on a hunch to a tributary of Boston Harbor. The “fishing fever” had hit me unexpectedly, and it had …

Fishing Boston Harbor For Holdover Striped Bass
February 5, 2016

Jim Murphy Here are some things I learned about fishing in New Jersey in early to mid November. New Jersey is big—much bigger than Massachusetts, at least on a longitudinal basis. You may have seen photos and videos of New Jersey scenes in the fishing mags, on Facebook, and Instagram.

February 2nd Holdover Striper Report
January 29, 2016

Jason Colby Today I’d like to share some thoughts with MFCC readers about one of my favorite subjects-winter flounder.  I wasn’t always like this you know.  I spent decades thinking flounder were somehow beneath me. I was what you might call a “bass snob” and if it didn’t have stripes on it, then I wasn’t interested. …

Danny Guadagnoli The weather was quintessential autumn—foliage, a crisp breeze, and bright warming sun.  I was officially psyched; finally, it was time to start relentlessly heaving plugs and covering as much ground as possible, working together as a fishing squad. Almost as soon as the group split to start casting, my friend Billy hooked up …
