Sea to Table: Manhattan Style Blackfish Chowder

Heading into December, there’s simply no avoiding a significant drop in temperatures. With summer and early fall favorites like stripers, fluke, scup and sea bass now mostly departed from the inshore scene, anglers turn their attention to what’s left. With any luck, that will be tautog, cod, hake, pollock and haddock in offshore waters – but hopefully not too far offshore. While the fishing continues to grow tougher and the elements more challenging by the week, there is one great benefit as the chilly holiday season fast approaches: never will a bowl of fish chowder or a thick, hot, juicy fillet ever taste better.

Big Striper Hearing This Coming Wednesday Evening, 9/17, 6 p.m. in Narragansett

As we move closer—for better or for worse—to watching the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) plan out the next steps in its handling of the intensifying troubles facing the striped bass stocks, various “user groups” (i.e. charter captains, surfcasters, private boat fishermen, and commercials) are showing their true colors as they take formal positions on a suite of proposed management options at public hearings currently underway across the Northeast.Sep 12th, 2014

Solid Night Tuna Bite, Fishtails to the Dip

Ready or not, it’s Labor Day weekend, and whatever else has gone on in this bizarro season to end all bizarre seasons, this is the time to @#$% or hop off the proverbial pot. Whatever has supposedly been running late, if it’s not here now, smart money says it’s probably not coming (obvious exception the things we typically don’t see until September, like albies, tautog, etc.).

Fish Focus: Anger Management

For the last bunch of years, I’ve scratched out a ridiculous number of published words on the subject of fisheries management. The last two or three seasons, much of that output has related to what many fishermen and I have seen as the increasingly bleak state of our striped bass resource—a position that has remained up for active debate until quite recently.
