Getting it Done

Fished with Tim and Tiffany in the bay. Despite lousy weather we headed out and made it work with a nice blue and a beautiful fly rod striper. Pro Tip: A wise man once said the worst weather can be the best weather for fishing. Not sure if that is 100 percent true but I catch a lot of fish in lousy weather so maybe there is something to it...

Big Blues in the Bay

Fished with Matt and Ryan in the bay. We we had a banner day with blues from 4-14 pounds. We also had a few bass on poppers as well. Fishing is really heating up in the bay. Gotta love spring Pro Tip: Vary your retrieve to see what works. Shallow water usually requires a faster, steadier retrieve. Deeper water and faster current usually requires you to slow down.

Weakfish and Blues

Ryan and I snuck out for a quick trip after school. It was a tricky bite. We literally had bites on every cast. After releasing over a dozen blues and one nice trout we headed to baseball. Pro Tip: Location is everything. Sometimes a move of only 10 or 20 feet is the difference between epic and nothing.

Stripers and Blues

Fished with Tom and Biff in the bay. We found several blues on jigs and changed gears. We switched to top water and caught some stripers on the flats. Pro Tip: The best top water bite in our area lasts in the bay from May through October.

Back Bay Blues

Fished yesterday with Ron and his father Ron in the bay. Things started out tough in the morning but really picked up in the afternoon. We had about a dozen 3-5 pound blues and a fluke or two. Pro Tip: Sticking it out pays off. The fish sometimes get funny and only bite for brief periods of time during certain parts of the tide. Quitting early may mean you miss your shot.

Fluke and Blues

Fished with Paul and Dave in the bay. We had some nice fluke and a few decent bluefish. The bite was tough but we made it work. Pro Tip: Spring bites can be extremely subtle. Be prepared strike anything that feels different. Sometimes it is just a light touch.

Evening in the Bay

Fished with Bud, Travis, and Cameron in the bay. It was good to get the tackle shop crew out on the water. We had a great night catching fish the entire time. We had bluefish and weakfish on jigs. Pro Tip: Slowing down your retrieve, even slightly, increases your odds of catching a weakfish.
