SEIZE SEPTEMBER: FISHABLE WEATHER 101

If you keep your wits about you, you can take back many days your buddies lose to the Weather Gods. If the onset of September does one thing to our fishing, it ups the ante on our ability to predict and capitalize on fishable weather.Aug 27th, 2014

GET READY FOR FURIOUS RUNS

It’s the second half of the fishing season and time to start targeting bonito and false albacore. Last year few false albacore were around but local anglers caught their share of bonito.Aug 27th, 2014

Bigeyes on the Prowl At Atlantis

I’m struggling to fight off the growing suspicion that this is going to be one of those seasons when things come crashing down much earlier than usual—and much earlier than many of us suspect.Aug 22nd, 2014

Westerly Duo Best Monster Wahoo

Mike Wade at Watch Hill Outfitters was out slinging kayaks, spooling reels, eating lunch, salting bait, ordering plugs, directing traffic, playing an accordion, recording a book on tape, leading a guided meditation to help a depressed scup access repressed memories, baking tomorrow’s doughnuts, and doing all the other things involved in running a modern bait and tackle establishment when I called Friday afternoon.Aug 15th, 2014

Fluke, Stripers, Sea Bass, Blues, Bluefins Hot off BI’s South Side

Right out of nowhere, the heat and humidity came down like a hammer almost the second it turned August, and suddenly, the three-weeks-behind theorists are beginning to concede that we’re on schedule after all. The good news is that we’re much nearer to August one than to September one, and there’s still plenty of prime angling opportunity ahead. Aug 9th, 2014

Coastal Angler Magazine Rhode Island Kicks it Up a Notch

We heard you. Since launching Coastal Angler Magazine Rhode Island in March, we have had great input from readers and advertisers on the sharp local content by Zach Harvey, Dave Monte, Tom Schlichter, our local captains and fishing club members, delicious Sea-to-Table recipes by my friend Julia Molino, and so much more.Aug 1st, 2014

Fluke, Stripers, Sea Bass, Blues, Bluefins Hot off BI’s South Side

At the risk of further bludgeoning a very dead personal horse, I can’t help but think that all these weeks of rock-steady fluke and striper fishing over at Block Island have given some of us a false sense of security about how much time we actually have to get in on this world-class fishing.Aug 1st, 2014

Newport Monster Shark Tournament a Hit by any Measure

And measurements there were – Len Greiner’s team on Magellan took top honors with the two biggest Monster Sharks – porbeagles at 430 lbs and 378 lbs, caught on Friday and Saturday up East. Second place was taken by the able team of the Karen Jean II with another porbeagle at 356 lbs.Aug 1st, 2014

Your Best Shot: Dawn Troll at the Edge

There's no rational explanation for it, but in most of my canyon fishing time, I’ve always felt like the place we set up just before sunset was a completely different place than the one I saw the following morning. Something always changes in the night. The sleep deprivation takes hold and the wrists and lower back burn in the wake of 10 hours behind the chum ladle. The place, I guess, is the same.Aug 1st, 2014
