Fishing Reports 

 

Winter 2007

 

January 25, 2007 - After one of the warmest spells ever, Old Man Winter has finally made an appearance.  The high winds and cold temps have kept us from getting on the water .  Finally, the winds laid down yesterday and we were able to slip out.  What we found was the best fishing that I've seen this winter - make that the best of all time!   We landed over 150 fish to 43" inside the bay without another boat around for much of the day.  Nature put on quite a show!  We could see hundreds of big fish as they sipped up hoards of small anchovies on the surface.  Whales were all around us gulping up the tiny baitfish by the thousand.  Birds were in every direction and some of the gannets had stomachs so full that they could not fly.  A beautiful sunset and calm seas capped off a wonderful day!


 

January 14, 2007 - We tied into countless fish during the last week.  Yesterday was the best day of the bunch with over 100 stripers on fly up to 25 pounds.  Loads of fun!

 

January 9, 2007 - I hate to sound like a broken record, but the fishing continues to be outstanding!  It is hard to believe, but the fishing should only get better as more big fish move into the area.  Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this action!

 

January 1, 2007 - Happy New Year!  The final week of '06 was awesome to say the least.  Stripers galore!  Now that the bay season is closed, we should have some insane catch and release fishing in the bay waters.  Without hundreds of boats running over the fish, it will be a fly & light tackle fisherman's dream!  Lots of big fish are still up north so I expect that we will be slaying fish for at least another month... or maybe the entire winter!
