Here’s one from a few months ago before winter set in when the Fall bite was still going strong. Living on the water, I make an effort to get out and make at least a cast or two everyday. For a few days prior, I was throwing a 6” weedless swimbait with no luck

Everyday Angler: One & Done II

During the early Fall I always like to go big and follow up small. I started out throwing a small weedless swimbait, at my second spot a Bass swam out from underneath a floating raft to inspect my bait

Everyday Angler: One & Done

One and done is a new series documenting my shortest sessions on the water. The distractions are plentiful when working from home and living on the water only makes it worse. However, it also gives me the opportunity to step away from the computer and wet a line for a few minutes.

The Long Wait is Over

Finally, after what felt like a life time of watching, waiting, freezing, cleaning gear, watching the ice go out, and going half mad. The Winter weather in New England has broke and Spring is in full swing. Which means one thing, fishing season is upon us and more specifically, pre-spawn. The phase in a Largemouth Bass’s annual life cycle and the time when they are most likely to be at their heaviest. It’s the time of the year when you are fired up and ready to be on the water chasing a new PB. Grinding sun up to sun down throwing big swimbaits or swinging a massive streamers in search of that one bite.

Fall Run Striped Bass Fishing

When you think Striped Bass, New England comes to mind more often than not. Aside from the winter months, the Striper fishing in Rhode Island can be pretty good for most of the year. However, it’s usually the Fall run that gets the most attention. The birds take flight and guide anglers to huge balls of bait, often being savagely attacked by schools of larger predatory fish like Stripers, Blue fish, and if your lucky, Bonito and False Albacore. On this day in particular, last October, the fish were plentiful.

Winter Day Dreaming

Here we are once again; March in New England and it’s cold. In all honesty it’s been a mild winter, but after having spent the last three years in San Diego, I can’t help but notice the difference. There really hasn’t been a lot of snow in Rhode Island and the lake only froze over for a few days before the temperature rose enough for the ice to break up. Despite the mild weather, I really haven’t been fishing much. We got out a few times when the weather was exceptional, but something about the short days just leaves me uninspired to be on the water.

We're Back

It’s hard to believe that it’s been Four months since I posted last. For those of you who don’t know, back in May I moved from Southern California to my home state of Rhode Island. If you have ever moved even just down the street, you know how much of a pain it can be, never mind moving across the country. Aside from getting yourself and all your possessions from point A to point B, it takes time to adjust. After a few months, I finally feel like I’m back in the swing of things and I’m stoked for what that means for New School Bass.

Early Season Bass on the Fly

It’s that time of year again, March is in full swing and whether your home lake is open water or still cloacked in a wintery sheet of ice the urge to get your hands on that first Bass of the season is constantly in your head. For those of us further south, it’s not so bad, but I remember all to well the feeling of looking at a body of water covered in ice too thin for ice fishing, just waiting for a good wind storm and warm snap to blow thru and open up the lake.
