August blitzes

We're seeing some great bass blitzes in the mid bay. The size of fish is all over the place but a great time!

 

 

 

8/7 rips fishing

This weekend was awesome for bass. It's almost like it was 10 years ago again.  The fish seem to be on sand eels but there must be some squid around because they're eating squid flies really well. Broke in the new rise 9 weight too!     

7/30 striper fishing

Well the weather service really blew the forecast today. Instead of the 5-10 out of the southwest we got a good 20 out of the south which turned into 2-3 footers. We still found some nice blitzing fish though   

7/22 bass fishing

   

7/21 mid bay fishing

Fishing in the mid bay has been pretty good the last few weeks. A lot of 18-22" fish are around which are fun on 7 and 8 wt rods

6/26 monomoy

 Fishing the rips on the cape for bass is my favorite way to fish. We got some great weather this weekend and made the most of it. Bass were on small squid so small squid flies and pink sluggos were the way to go. We made one offshore run for tuna and hooked one but lost it. The fish were around but really difficult to get to eat.

6/19 Chesapeake fly fishing

The bass have definitely started to move around a little more and the bigger fish have largely left the bay. Hopefully soon the schoolies will be schooled up and blitzing.     

After work fishing

I've had some chances to fish after work which have had great results. The low light conditions are great at that time of day and there can be fewer boat although not as few as I had hoped       

Memorial Day on the Cape

We fished the cape hard over Memorial Day and couldn't believe the amount of sea bass in the sound. May is always good for sea bass but I've never seen this many. There were lots of schoolies around as well with some nice blitzes.    

Big fish in June

We fished the Kent Narrows fly and light tackle tournament again this year and again it was a great time. A record number of boats turned out this year and I'm guessing that a record number of big fish were caught. We caught a number of fish on fly that would have won in years past that didn't place this year. Joe Behot, our ringer, caught a 34" bass on a 4" sluggo that was about an inch shy of third. It was a great time!
