Stripers arriving in bigger numbers and sizes - This past week saw the Kingfisher land bigger numbers and size of Stripers with only small numbers of bluefish.

Saturday in the Race - We decided to fish the Race on Saturday as the bunker were not cooperative and the tide was right. The fishing was on the slow side as very few boats saw any action. We did manage to land a few fish including a fat 38 bass on the troll. more...
