    Morning bass bight

    I figured with the weather changing its time for some back bay bass! So today the conditions were what I love, overcast and a high tide around sunrise. The stripers were cooperative as the tide started to ebb. Using all artificial lures such as swimming plugs, poppers and shads. The 4in shad...

    Sunset Blitz!

    It was an all out bass blitz last night at Sundown. We found the bass rolling on top in a usual spot of ours. Some big fish too! They were crushing topwater plugs, its quite a sight to see a teen size fish crush a plug! Also witnessed several fish chasing up our plugs right next to the boat...

    Hangover cure!

    So yesterday I got on board my buddy’s boat to give it a shot targeting the inshore bluefin tuna. We struck out but saw at least 6 boats hooked up. Amazing sight so close to shore! So I had to get the skunk off, and got up this morning and targeted the back bay bass! Well it didn’t take long...
