2010 Reports Sure. Who has time any more :) 2009 Reports Some decent fish this year for sure, and albies are out in force too. Maine has been loaded with mackerel for about a month now. Beach fishing has been slow the few times we have been out. Very little bait inshore. You can thank the seals for that :( Seems every time I get out fishing I forget my camera this year or a picture you really want doesn't save on the camera phone. Must be my advancing age :) 2008 Reports Not alot of fishing this year due to the cost of fuel and work commitments, the few times we've been out have been great days! Took a few stripers home this year and experimented on the grill :)
2007 Reports Well in between trying to keep up with making lures we got a few trips in. Nothing to write home about for size, but some seriously voracious fish out there! One trip found us in Vineyard sound with thousands of 6-10lb bluefish...left us beaten and sore the next day :) High hook of the day was this nice bass on a black/silver popper! Nice fresh sea lice covered fish. Great eating for 3 dinners!
2006 Reports May had two outings with some great fish over the side, one 35 lb lb slob, and so many high teens and twenties that every day on the water was memorable with sore arms and bodies! These were some of the May highlight pictures: If you catch a nice fish on a Salty's lure send in the picture and we'll send you a free lure!
June has seen some great fish off the sand flats of Barnstable with 1.25 oz poppers and stubby needlefish, and another banner day on the Middle Ground rips using 2.5 oz needlefish to imitate the squid fleeing the stripers slurping them in the flat water. Some of the best fishing around the Islands is in June as the water heats up! Captain Terry Nugent from Riptide Charters has been slaying cow bass with our needlefish out in Cape Cod Bay this year. He's had several 40 plus pounders and so many 20 and 30 plus pounders he stopped taking pictures of them! After fighting a 100 lb bluefin tuna for 2.5 hours on light tackle with a 1 oz stubby yellow needlefish and losing it one day he went back the next day and stuck a nice 40 lber on the same lure. Captain Terry bought some lures earlier this year at a show and said he'd slam fish on them, As evidence to his skills he's done very very well with them. You can check out his page online also at www.riptidecharters.com. Here's Capt Terry with one of his best bass this year on a Saltybugger 1.25 oz popper!. Congrats!
2005 Reports All over folks. Great year even though I didn't get to fish as much as usual. What we did have was a good big fish year. Many reports of nice fish caught this year on Salty's wood. Some very impressive fish in the 40 lb range in the last several weeks. 07/01 Should be seeing Bonito anytime soon now, the water should be getting to optimum temps with the warm weather we've had lately. 3 trips this year so far due to work commitments but every trip has had a few good fish. Last trip out was 10-25 lb class fish in the rips of Middle Ground which is not traditionally a big summer doldrums spot. 09/20 Fish stacked in the edge of the rip at Robinsons in Johnny's Hole. Lots of bait on the north side of the Vineyard, all silversides or peanut bunker. Classic fall blitzes and something to give warm memories of fish caught while it's cold this winter. Ingrained in the back of my mind is a day in Cape Cod bay fishing the 50' contour with topwater poppers, and gator blues all day mixed with stripers in packs of 10-15 fish. Insanity fishing at it's finest. Crystal clear water...Cows on herring...Wow I hope to never forget that day ever. 2004 Reports
4/20/2004 Hearing some serious rumors of fresh fish starting to show up on the south side and up as far as Plymouth. Too early to tell but could still be holdovers chasing herring etc. They a comin! 5/20/2004
