Hot Striped Bass Fly Fishing Action
Around Chatham Massachusetts
It is just after dawn on the waters off of Chatham's Monomoy
Island on the elbow of Cape Cod Massachusetts. Your
fishing guide is standing 6 feet above the water's
surface on the polling platform of a Florida flats style
shallow draft fishing boat. The motor is off and the
guide is using a long push pole to move the boat along.
There is a smell of cut watermelon in the air over the
still water. That watermelon-like smell is from feeding
or just fed striped bass. You are standing in the bow
with your fly rod In hand. The target you are seeking is
the famous Cape Cod striped bass... |

Summer Tactics for Saltwater
Fishing in Massachusetts
After spring's
striper blitzes along Cape
Ann and the South Shore of
Massachusetts begin to calm
down, with fewer
surface-breaking schools on
the surface and flocks of
birds to mark them, you'll
have to work a little harder
if you're looking for fish
off spots like Manchester,
Boston, Cape Ann and the
South Shore.... |

Saltwater Fly Fishing In Bermuda
Bermuda, always a tourist-friendly island,
extends its "no license required" policy to nonresident
anglers; fans of the sport need only abide by certain
lenient size and quantity restrictions. And there are
plenty of places to rent tackle, bait and boats for
anglers who didn't come prepared. Many Bermuda fishing
charters not only include a wide variety of equipment,
but also photograph successful anglers with their catch.....

Redington
Classic
Trout
Fly
Rod
Review |


|
|
We tested the
Redington Classic
Trout Fly Rod Model CT
9064 which is the largest rod in size and weight
for this product line. It took a couple of casts
to adjust to the moderate “classic” action this
rod has, majority of the rods that I use have a
fast to medium fast action. Once I had adjusted
to the action of the rod I absolutely loved it!
The “classic” action which this rod is known for
is extremely forgiving. It allowed a very
delicate presentation on every cast, and allowed
you to feel the line load. I found my casts to
be accurate, with tight loops, and allowed the
line, leader and fly to land ever so delicately....Continued |

Leon
Granowitz, a Boston-area angler
who favors kayak fishing from a
fast and narrow sea kayak, finds
it pretty easy most summer
weekdays to show off the
bluefish and striped bass he
catches. His favored method:
trolling a tube-and-worm or plug
from a sea kayak off Gloucester,
Massachusetts, Halibut Point off
Rockport, and the Misery Islands
off Manchester.
Striper and bluefish fishing,
let alone yellowfin tuna and
bonito fishing, from a sea kayak
is an effective way to bring
fresh seafood home or feed
yourself well on an extended
kayak camping trip. Striper
fishing from a sea kayak is
different, and simpler, than the
present style of kayak fishing
that has spread throughout the
angling world.
The current style of kayak fishing, from sit on top
kayaks, has its origins in California and New York,
where saltwater fishing enthusiasts habituated to
yellowfin tuna, grouper, salmon and halibut catches
discovered sit on top kayaks' low prices, ease of use
and stability.
Fishing from relatively slow and wide sit-on-top... Continued

Fishing Attractor
Patterns |
|

Attractor patterns look
like food to a trout when they are presented properly to
a hungry fish. The patterns are often big, bright and/or
flashy. They float high, sink fast or move lots of water
to attract - there's that name again - a strike from a
fish. Many patterns use lots of different materials and
colors. In my opinion the contrast in colors and
material types probably makes the flies more visible to
fish. Perhaps hungry trout focus on one portion of the
fly that looks like food and eat the entire bug anyway.
Who knows? Who cares? Attractor patterns work!
It may seem that gaudy
or fancy flies are tied
more for the angler's
than the fish's delight,
but that's just not the
case. Historically, many
flies were called fancy
flies, and were tied
with bright colors and
lots of flash. Our
British and Scottish
ancestors were quite
creative on this front.
(Perhaps fly fishing was
their way out of the
straightjacket of the
tyranny of the
immediate, too?) The
flash came from shiny
tinsel materials made of
gold or silver and the
colors from brightly
dyed seal fur, silk and
natural bird feathers
from far off places on
the globe. Today, tiers
use what's readily
available to concoct fly
inventions....Continued |
