Season over....

I finished up season ending striper charters this past weekend. Water is cold and fish are on the move south. I want to thank all who made the season a great success. Striper fishing was pretty steady June through the end of Sept., although we did not see the numbers of big fish we usually do that seemed the story up and down throughout New England. We did have some awesome fly days with mornings up to 50 fish. I would say an overall average was 15-20 fish days with morning being the best as usual.

On the tuna front- we caught many nice small bluefins from 40-80 lbs. The season was exciting, please inquire about them for next year.

As always - I will be putting together several travel trips this winter and spring to tropical locations in search of tarpon, bones, tuna and a host of others....please inquire about the travel trips to our proven locations.

Thanks again and look forward to seeing you all again on another saltwater adventure in 07'
