Pabst Blue Ribbon Northeast Fishing Tournament Mid-Tournament Update
The month of July was a big one for the Pabst Blue Ribbon Northeast Fishing Tournament. The summer weather finally arrived, and the full moon fell on a weekend. There were certainly a lot of weigh-ins waiting for us when we got back to the office on Monday, July 14th!Aug 1st, 2014
Fish Tacos With cHarissa™
For those of us who are unabashed seafood lovers, it's hard to ignore the allure of Long Island’s East End. From porgies to tuna, fluke to stripers, clams, oysters and blue claw crabs, the waters here are blessed with an abundance of culinary delights. Now there’s yet another reason for anglers and “foodies” to love the region, a new spice called cHarissaTM that’s the perfect complement to just about anything you catch.Aug 1st, 2014
Fish Focus: Shame on Us?
In the fall of 2009, I published an essay on what I saw as the major threats to a then-flourishing winter cod fishery off Block Island. Because that rebounding cod population represented sorely needed revenue for a party boat fleet that had been brought to its knees by a host of regulatory misfires, I elected to publish the piece—one of the more strident condemnations of fishermen and regulators I’d ever written—in the Coastal Conservation Association’s Tide Magazine, where I was reasonably sure I could memorialize the words in print without causing massive damage to the industry. Despite some concerns that the piece would make the rounds anyway, I sent it off and filed it in my records as a kind of future “I told you so.”Aug 1st, 2014
High-Summer Cod Catching Excellent At Coxes
We are now heading into a point in the season when the only way to maintain a good catch rate is to work harder at it, to expand your tactical repertoire, and to seek out the advise of the sharpest guys who will actually give you the time of day. There’s no reason to accept diminishing returns because someone said we’re in the summer “doldrums.”Jul 25th, 2014
Cow Bass Parade Continues at Block Island—But No 100-Pounders…
I’ve been around this racket long enough to have learned the hard way not to dismiss even the most seemingly asinine rumor. The fact is, people catch obscenely huge fish of all species at the strangest of times in the strangest of places, year after year after year.Jul 18th, 2014
Weekly RI Fishing Report: 7/11/2014
The storm last weekend came up well short of the early media uproar—we saw precious little wind, and groundswell on the low end of average by tropical-low standards—but the unsettled weather, very heavy rains, and also the tumultuous weather patterns than came on in the wake of the big offshore low seem to have had a significant cumulative impact on most of our local fisheries.

What’s Happened to Newport? Monster Shark and the Barenaked Ladies Come to Town
Newport is at once historic and hip. The home of the Volvo race and world-class sailing. And now for the first time, it has its own world- class fishing event. The weekend of July 18 – 20 will bring a whole new excitement to town. Not the Volvo, the Monster Shark Tournament. This weekend promises to bring its own brand of excitement and fun, education and learning.Jul 1st, 2014
The Monster Sharks are Coming to Newport
The 28th, one and only, Monster Shark Tournament is coming to Newport this summer, July 17th – 20th. The life’s work of the late Ste- ven James, this year the tournament will be held to honor Steve, a friend to many in the fishing community in New England and throughout the country.Jul 1st, 2014
