Ryan Collins Some people think trolling tube and worm for striped bass is boring, and I understand the reasons why.However for me, trolling the tube is exciting. Tube and worming is also one of the most effective ways to catch big bass on Cape Cod during the heat of August.  Oftentimes when trolling tubes, the best hits come

Ryan Collins This July my friend Jason and I have been catching big striped bass during broad daylight from our 12ft tin boat.With no sonar or GPS, catching big fish from the tin boat is definitely a more “primal” fishing experience, which is proving to be a ton of fun! I grew up fishing with

Ryan Collins The places I have fished all summer long are completely devoid of striped bass right now. The bass schools were in their usual spots as recent as Thursday morning, but by Thursday night they were gone. I was expecting this to happen, because I believe these schools of striped bass have begun their migration south. To

Ryan Collins Before this week’s storm, my friends and I had a blast catching stripers up to 41 inches.  Even more cooler was the fact we were targeting inshore areas from our 12 foot tin boat, powered by a 6hp Johnson. Any striper larger than 40 inches in length is a quality fish, but there is something

Lauren Blacker I have this funny feeling that when a guy goes fishing, all he really wants is to catch fish, and enjoy utter silence. That is really not a strong point for me. So when Ryan asked if I would join him on the little 12 footer for a few hours of fishing, I was stunned.

Ryan Collins When I was in grade school, my father bought a 12 foot tin boat and a 6 horsepower Johnson engine. Several years ago an October nor’ easter swept the 12 footer off the beach.  After many hours of fruitless searching, my friend Jason Mazzola located the boat half buried beneath a dune, a full 2 miles

Ryan Collins The striped bass fishing around Cape Cod continues to be stellar! Last night I was fortunate to catch a 47 pound striped bass and my dad caught a 45 pounder. There were plenty of smaller fish mixed in too. The great news is that you certainly do not need any fancy expensive boat to

Ryan Collins It all started with a text from Zach Lesinski of 2020 Sky Sight Productions, asking if I wanted to do some fishing and drone filming. 48 hours later I stumbled across a huge concentration of large striped bass while performing recon onboard my boat the Miss Loretta. I immediately messaged Zach and told him we should meet

Ryan Collins Up until this past weekend, the fishing in many of the inshore areas I tend to visit had slowed way down. Yet that has changed in a big way over the past 72 hours. For whatever reason some awfully nice bass are once again roaming in shallow water. In the following video my father

Ryan Collins When I was growing up, my father and I fished “blind”without sonar and GPS. We used very basic equipment and fished from a 12 foot boat powered by a 6 horsepower engine.  We found fish by paying attention to the wind, tide and past experiences. Instinct, determination and sheer luck also played a major
