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.

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.

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.

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.

One thing about the East Coast that I’m excited for is Striper Fishing. Rhode Island is home to one of the countries best Striper fisheries and you better believe we will be taking full advantage of in. In the mean time, check out this throw back from the worm hatch on Salt Pond in 2013 featuring captain Zach Lapp of Ripline Charters and myself. Enjoy and stay tuned for more Striper action this Summer.

Last weekend, I hit the lake with the homie Evan (@bassfactory101) to start filming New School Bass Season II. The morning started off cold and wet, but we were stoked to be on the water. At first there was a light breeze and a heavy mist. You know, the type of rain that every time you think it’s done and take off your jacket, it starts raining again. The breeze was a little cool but nice in the way that when the breaks in rain came, everything would dry off quick. As we made our way down the shoreline, we picked apart the weeds, grass, and rocks that we came across. From there on out, we threw everything we had at them.

Recently, I was digging through some old hard drives and found this video we made 6 years ago. The video highlights some beautiful moments fly fishing with friends on my home lake in Rhode Island. While this video is older, in 2019 we will be filming more of the NSB series on the east coast. While the bass may not be as big as what California has to offer, the fishing is great and I hope you guys will enjoy the content. For now, enjoy this piece of NSB history from years past.

The other night, I was scrolling through the Fly Lords Mag website, I was looking for a little late night hype for the following days fishing trip when I noticed a recent article titled, “NOAA Threatens to Weaken Striped Bass Regulations”. As some of you may know, I was born and raised in Rhode Island. If there is one notable fishery in RI, it would definitely have to be Striper. Striper fishing in Rhode Island is phenomenal to say the least. Starting in the early spring with the worm hatch, great striper fishing continues through the Summer and ends in the Autumn with an often epic fall run.
