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

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

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
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.

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
