Fishing can sometimes be famine, but on the days when it is feast, it’s important to know your bag limit, aka the number of fish you can keep and take home for dinner. These limits are a useful tool in helping protect many of our recreationally important species. There are several types of bag limits and, sometimes more than one type applies. Some even vary by region (spotted seatrout, red drum, weakfish and bay scallops). ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It’s not uncommon for them to land 1,000 pounds of fish per trip with 5 or 6 fisherman aboard. Big Cod, Haddock, Pollack, Cusk, Hake, Monk, and Red Fish are just some of the fish that you WILL catch. They use custom made rods built to Capt. Jim’s specifications, Shimano Trinidad 40 Series reels, with 100 pound test power pro line. They custom build all of their tackle. Their season is still in development and if you get a chance to get on board with this team, you should. Keep an eye open for Capt. Jim’s saltwater reports and news on their 2014 season fishing show. http://www.atlanticadventures.biz/ ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

As if locating bass on the post-spawn under bright bluebird skies wasn’t tough enough, Mother Nature made it ridiculously hard to catch the lethargic largemouths with a gusting south wind. It was like she was following a 97-mile-per-hour rising fastball with an 88-mile-per-hour sinker that dropped like it was falling off the table. But B.A.S.S. Elite Series pro Pete Ponds hung in against the pitches and didn’t back out of the box. After swinging and missing with his favorite crankbait, Ponds switched to a ¾-ounce Talon football jig head and put a Senko worm behind it. “I know it’s a bit unorthodox, but I know these fish are here and there’s gotta be something they will eat,” he said, casting the funny looking lure across the old submerged pond dam that topped out at 5 feet with deeper water (8-10 feet) on both sides.

The powerful amberjack was so massive it might have been a world record. But the fisherman who battled the monstrous fish, and the Mexican crew that helped deliver it from the Sea of Cortez to a remote Baja California beach, were not thinking about records. They marveled at the size of the fish and hefted their great prize as if to see if it could, indeed, be hefted—then carved it up for fish tacos and fillets for the grill. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

For over 100 years, the Relief Ditch diversion on the Gunnison River has been a headache for local landowners and irrigators and a major obstacle for boaters and fish. The diversion dam, which is used to divert water for farms east of Delta, was washed out almost every year with high spring runoff flows, and then reconstructed annually by the irrigation company using bulldozers in the river channel to push up cobble creating a temporary dam. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

While fishing out of Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA on April 27th, 9 year-old Jordan Nestor landed a massive tautog (Tautoga onitis) that could possibly land him in the IGFA record books. Jordan was fishing a live crab when the fish struck, but the young angler only needed a minute and a half to boat the 9.7 kg (21 lb 6 oz) ‘tog that qualifies him for the potential male Smallfry record. If approved, Jordan’s fish would beat the existing record by more than 6 kg (12 lb). Congratulations, Jordan, on an amazing catch!

Huntley paid a visit Monday to Trade Only Today on the Connecticut coastline on his way to deliver the first hull of Vanquish’s new 26-foot dual console to a customer in Long Island, N.Y. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
