Shifting over to bass

October 9th, 2009

The focus is shifting to the bass and fall blitzes.  The only albie reports I know of are from Westerly to points west.  Albie’s aside, the fall run has been a bit slow.  The weather certainly hasn’t cooperated lately, but looks better this weekend so good luck.

September ends quietly

October 2nd, 2009

September started out with a bang and the albies kept it hopping all month.  However, last week things seemed to slow down and reports are starting to thin out.  Boats are getting pulled out of the water, reels are getting dropped off at shops for the winter tune up, and rods are being put away for [...]



Fall Season

September 25th, 2009

The Fall Run is starting to heat up. Things are starting to happen. Be sure to check out the video of tuna blitzing from Riptide Charters, at the end of this weeks report.



Albies Continue to Please

September 25th, 2009

We are in the middle of prime bass fishing but no one cares. The albie fishing is still hot and the primary target of many recreational fisherman. The season is winding down so tighten those drags and get out there.



Albieville!!!!

It’s shaping up to be a historic season for false albacore, with anglers striking hard from Buzzards Bay to Monomoy. That’s gonna be good news for the tackle manufacturers as these fish show no mercy on the gear…



Summer’s End

August 28th, 2009

We are at the end of August. A time where various types of fishing really heats up. I have a love/hate relationship with this time of the year. I love the chance to chase after the different species.



Bluefish and Hurricane Bill

August 20th, 2009

Bluefish are everywhere and providing lots of action. This is a great time of year to take new fisherman out as the weather is warm and the bluefish are very accommodating. Just watch their fingers.

Unfortunately for bass fisherman, the surge in bluefish has made striper fishing more difficult. Between the warm weather and bluefish it has been tough fishing. Bonito were the top story the last two weeks, but things have been quieter than expected this past week.

New York – New Jersey
Well, we have been scraping out a pretty decent middle of the season despite some high temps that are always to be expected. Fishing early in the day where it is a little cooler and where there is a little better current has been the key to our success out east [...]



Game Fish

August 14th, 2009

There are some that would like to make the striped bass classified as a game fish. This got me to wondering what qualities should a fish have to qualify as a game fish? Is size an important factor? How about swimming speed? Maybe tailwalks once hooked should be a factor.



The Ramp Crowd

August 7th, 2009

Things are looking good, especially for August. Good reports from both Nantucket and MV, as well as lots of tuna action in the Bay. The Monomoy rip action has slowed down, but we expect the funny fish action on the South Side to take off almost immediately.
